How was your first X/Y Shiny Encounter? (If you still remember)
Hello Poke-dudes and dudesses,
I was playing X today and it turns out I had my first ever Shiny Pokémon Encounter! Guess who? Graveler.. Now you know where I'm going with this :| I passively attack it until its HP turns red. It uses Explosion and I'm like -_- My first ever Shiny... A dream that was torn into pieces... T-T Anyway, I would like to hear about yours. Perhaps yours went as you expected, maybe not. :D |
my very first shiny was a Scatterbug. I was running back and forth battling on that very first route with my very first few caught pokemon and I was just casually tapping the buttons and watching TV and I just happened to look down and the Scatterbug had a white face! I was so excited! I caught it and I do kind of wish I had kept it, but I immediately put it on the GTS and traded it for an Articuno! :D

Shame on you :/ :D |
It was a few months back, when I was training something from my PC to learn better moves, and I was on Route 8 when a shiny Drifloon showed up. I ended up catching her with a Quick Ball (it does match shiny Drifloon's colors which is funny) but yeah like every shiny I found previously it was totally unexpected. I was actually looking for an Absol at the time I ran into that Drifloon.
Turned out with a pretty decent nature (Hasty) and Unburden, which is cool. I then went on to catch six more shinies in X alone. |

I've never seen a shiny, or at least I don't think i've ever seen one, sometimes i'm in a hurry to run from battle
|
I was very disappointed with my first shiny in Kalos - it was a Pokemon I don't really like - it was a Gulpin - I sent it to Wonder Trade, and got a female Japanese Eevee in return.
My next shiny I really loved!! it was a shiny Luxio in Friend Safari |
Mine was a Zangoose... In a horde battle... It got slaughtered by Sevipers :( I really like shiny Zangoose too...
|
In X, I had just completed the dex and decided to start breeding again. I hatched my self a shiny nidoran female. And then I hatched a shiny beldum an mankey after that but nidoran was my first shiny hatched from an egg and first seen in 6th gen. (I caught a shiny staravia in a most recent platinum play through about a good year or so ago, but that doesn't count here since it's 6th gen) :)
|
I stumbled upon my first shiny when I started playing Pokemon Y. I was around Geosenge city and I was playing at night.
I accidentally ran through the grass that you could find before reaching the said city and tadah, wild shiny Sigilyph appeared out of nowhere. I've been keeping it as a trophy in my shinies box. Didn't expect it at all, to say the least. That's surprise at its finest. |
If we're talking XY, my first shiny here was a Floatzel that I found in a challenge while I was training in Couriway Town. It was a neat find, came when I was almost finished training. Nice stuff.
|
In X and Y it was a Eevee that I breed, about 700 eggs in so I was rejoicing in the fact it was shiny :) But my first ever shiny was back in Platinum which was a Shinx! That thing was cute as hell ^^
|
My first shiny in X&Y was also totally unexpected. I was just checking out my Friend's Friend Safari's to see which Pokémon they got. I was searching the Bug safaris, when I suddenly stumbled into a pink bug, and I was like: "Uh.. That's odd... Oh wait.. It's a shiny Heracross!" And then I caught it with my Premier Ball, since I try to catch all shinies in Premier Balls. Anyway, I nicknamed it "Birdo".
|
My first shiny was a golbat, you could say i freaked out hardtime!
It was on pokemon diamond, and i had never seen a shiny before, but it made it up to my fave list for sure. |
My first shiny encounter in XY was sort of a mess, unfortunately; wound up disappointing me quite a bit.
If I remember right, I believe it was a shiny Litleo. At the time, sadly, I did not have much Poké Ball with me, and was afraid that I'd be wasting them if I weren't able to capture the Pokémon successfully. Due to that, I decided to hurt it a little so that my chances of catching would increase and whatnot, but when I hit, it turned out to be critical, which was kind of shocking, making Litleo faint in an instant. Thankfully, though, I managed to encounter another of these shiny Litleo further into the game; had no trouble catching that one! |
My first shiny in X and Y was a Horsea. I was chain fishing, so it wasn't really unexpected.
|
In general my first shiny was a Ryhorn in Pokemon ruby (this was in 2004).I was playing in the Safari Zone and stumbled upon it, I wasnt actually aware of what a shiny was at the time, and didnt know what it was until after I ha restarted the game and it had disappeared from my life.
In X and Y however, it was Bagon. My original intention with the bagon wad just to ge an adamant one for my friend because at the time almost no one had a ditto to IV breed. I bred 82 Bagon eggs to my first X and Y shiny :D. The really sad thing is I hadnt hatche an adamant one yet, and gave up immediately after. |
My first real shiny (not the red gyarados from gen 2) was a shiny snowrunt from a friend safari. I evolved it into froslass. I Was so in love with it until some how my game ended up getting corrupted and had to restart it.
|
I actually found two shines on the same day with chain fishing. Afterwards I bred a shiny eevee within 40 eggs and the my shiny 5iv amaura I bred within 400 eggs.
|
Well, if you're talking about XY then my first shiny was from chain fishing till 25-30 chain. I encountered a Shiny Basculin, I used False Swipe and it killed itself with Final Gambit(I wanted to catch it in Pokeball) Last time i'll use a Super rod for fish chaining.
But my first ever shiny was in Emerald on an emulator, it was a shiny Golbat that I encountered. I didn't have any pokeballs left that time, so I had no choice but to rekt it. ;-; |
My first was through chain fishing. It only took 4 reels before I got a shiny Poliwhirl (now Poliwrath).
|
Mine was a shiny hoot hoot rout 29 in pokemon silver for gbc. I used him to the very end. My second was a Torkal in Runy and third was a Pidgy in Leaf Green. My other shinies were traded to me from there out. No luck in x and y......
|
My first shiny Pokémon in XY was a female Cubone in Glittering Cave that I encountered while level grinding there. It's become a standard member in my Kalos team and is fully EV trained.
And since others have shared their non-Gen 6 first shiny experiences too, my first every shiny Pokémon was back on Pokémon Crystal, sometime between Christmas and New Years that year (2001, I believe?). I was just wandering around the National Park, and found a little female Nidoran that popped out of the tall grass. |
I think mine was a Drowzee in either Silver or Crystal Version, though I wanna say it was Silver. I also had a shiny Krabby in that game, though I didn't know they were a big deal. I just saw the sparkles and was like "oh, cool" and caught them lol. I ran across a shiny Nidorina sometime later in Crystal but I had no Poké Balls, and it was when I learned how rare they are. I was just staring at my game for like 10 minutes like "why" lol.
As far as XY my first shiny was a Masuda Method bred Eevee like 2 weeks after the games came out. |
Mine was in Pokémon Y. I found a Metapod in the forest and thought I had a glitch then remembered the whole "shiny" Pokémon (I stopped playing Pokémon back in Silver/Gold). I still have it as a Butterfree, heh.
|
my first encounter was yesterday! i was going to find a goomy around route 14 while i suddenly run into a shiny stunfisk, which is ironic considering that hes one of my least favourite pokemon out there LOL
idk what i should be doing with it now. |
Mine was a shiny Luvdisc. I was trying out chain fishing and it was super easy to get and surprised me quite a bit.
I have never encountered a shiny before though by chance, or if I have, I haven't noticed yet. |
My first shiny encounter (apart from the red Gyarados) was way back in LeafGreen, about nine years ago. I was trying to catch Zapdos and boom, shiny. I managed to catch him and have since transferred him all the way to X. At least it went better than my second shiny encounter... blooming Selfdestruct.
|
Shiny Boldore in Black 2 while I was looking for an Eelektrik for my pokedex. Best day in my pokemon journey up to that point. Then in X/Y I found a shiny every day for a week.
|
My first X/Y shiny encounter was a... shiny Horsea if I remember right. Not too impressive since chain fished shinies are quite a lot easier to get than others but I was still pretty excited. Unfortunately said Horsea will be sitting in my box until the end of time. ]:
|
I was just walking along a route when shiny mightyena was my first encounter (I was nuzlocking X), I used my masterball since it knew roar... went all the way to the Hall of Fame with it. That beautiful gold fur.
|
My first ever shiny was a Bibarel in the Platinum Marsh area, which I killed, because I was a stupid little kid. My second was a graveler I met while grinding my dratini in SoulSilver, and THAT used explosion. Then in a different SoulSilver playthrough I found a shiny pidgey prior to me obtaining pokeballs. T_T It wasn't until X/Y I finally was able to chain fish a shiny clawitzer and catch my first shiny. Now I have a box full. :)
|
About 2 days after getting Heartgold (I had already owned and beaten Soulsilver), I was in the soccer field because my brother had a soccer game. I brought my DS, but it was really hard to see because the sun was so bright and there was no shade, but I could see that I had just encountered a shiny Zubat in a cave! I almost fainted :D
|
My shiny was in Pokemon diamond where i accidentally killed it it was a Croagunk....
|
Although I have been playing Pokemon since Crystal, my first ever shiny encounter was actually last week on Y. It was a shiny Durant, which kinda excited and bugged me at the same time since I do not care for that pokemon. Caught it with a luxury ball and will keep it untouched in a PC box forever though... along with the shiny Metang I caught in a friend safari just two days later. :)
|
So basically, we've all had our harsh, unexpected or not-so-special Shiny encounters.
I've been reading all your comments and I see most of you didn't appreciate your first Shiny Pokemon, which is understandable looking at the Pokemon they were e_e Did anyone get to check that specific Shiny with IV Man? I bet even while Shiny, they didn't have more than 2 Perfect IVs. |
I've actually never had a Shiny encounter... been playing since Generation I, and I've never had a shiny encounter. *cries*
|
My first was a shiny Nincada in Hoenn. I was looking for a Skitty. Good thing I didn't transfer it before I found out about Emerald cloning. I got 3 shiny pokemon from one XD Ninjask is so adorable in Amie C:
|
My fist shiny in X and Y was a Luxray, which is one of my favorite Shiny Pokemon. I was so happy getting it!
My dream Shiny is a Sylveon with hidden ability. |
My first shiny encounter was soo amazing! It was after 454 hours of my very first pokemon game with shiny pokemon (Diamond version). I was training pokemon to complete my pokedex with the high leveled pokemon in the wild. I knew this could happen so I had both hypnosis and false swipe ready on my team, not to mention 100 of every type of ball (besides master and premier). I looked it up on veekun to make sure it didn't have Double Edge/Petal Dance to kill itself, and I took a full 10 seconds between each button press to make sure I didn't misclick. I preceded to save 20 times catching it. It was an unsightly Shiny Gloom. I caught her with a heal ball and evolved her into a beautiful Shiny Bellossom. {<3} Although not very strong, she's been my Sleep user for catching other shinies and rare pokemon ever since.
I once had a Shiny Forretress explode on me turn 1 during a randomizer. Alas that was not my first shiny, nor do I strongly attach myself to pokemon captured in roms, so I can't say I fully know how frustrating that was for you. D: |
I've never encountered a shiny in X. I have, however, caught a shiny Rattata in FireRed. And I even encountered a shiny Onix in that same game. Though I didn't have any Pokeballs at the time. >_>
|
My first shiny ever was in Leaf Green, a Poliwag. My second shiny was in Soul Silver, a Golbat. My most recent shiny was yesterday. I had obtained, through Wonder Trade, a 3 IV, female, American Larvesta as well as a 2 IV, male, Japanese Larvesta. I want to use a Volcarona on my team, so this was a good starting place. On my 24th egg, a shiny Larvesta hatched :) It only has 3 or 4 IVs, so I will keep it in my shiny box :)
|
My first ever shiny encouter was a female shiny Camerupt in pokemon Emerald. I totally loved it, until my Emerald crashed and I lost it.
My first shiny in pokemon Y was Relicanth when I was trying out chain fishing, and in a few days after also shiny Dragalge and Corsola :) |
My first was literally 10mins ago , i just started to breed infernape for eggs for my dex and my first egg was a shiny adamant chimchar!!
|
My first shiny in X was a Shiny Spearow. I'm not satisfied with the actual Pokemon, but nonetheless it WAS a shiny. So no matter what I had to get it.
I used a quick ball to catch it. <3 |
First shiny? Thats another bad story if i remember correctly i had goodluck and bad luck ok so leafgreen shiny MALE clefairy 2 pokeballs didnt catch it :(
|
Mine was a shiny Audino. Audino is one of the few Pokémon that I do not care for so I wasn't as excited. I was more shocked since I was just trying to level up my Mandibuzz & Cofagrigus.
|
I've been playing since blue, and have yet to see a shiny...
|
Is it sad that I've been with pokemon since the very beginning and I have yet to encounter a shiny pokemon?
|
My first shiny was in pokemon Crystal(No not Gyarados).
you know the Day care gives you a pokemon egg when you first visit them? well I Hatched the egg and there, Sparkles the shiny Igglybuff was born. :) My game cartridge eventually corrupted and I lost Sparkles, but she still holds a place in my heart. PS: that pokemon Crystal game was actually the first pokemon game I ever played. :) |
My first shiny was in Pokemon Diamond, were I found a shiny Starly in the Safari Zone. Obviously I was panicking like mad, since I thought it might have fleed, but I guess with it being a pretty common pokemon, it was pretty easy to catch in the end. Still can't help but worry when shiny's are involved, though.
|
Back in FireRed, I thine. I was EV-training my Typhlosion on Glooms on one of those new islands and doing stuff on the computer at the same time. I encountered one, put the GBA SP down for a few seconds and heard that sound shinies make when you encounter them. Then I was like "Holy crap, did I just hear that?".
Sure enough, it was a shiny Gloom. Don't remember if I found any shiny pokémon in Ruby or Emerald. |
my first shiny was actually in x. it was a shiny eevee that i evolved into sylveon! i didnt notice it was different at first and i almost knocked it out. i dont know how i didnt notice a silver eevee right away... but luckily i was able to catch it. unfortunately it was a friends ds. she had let me borrow her 3ds and game for a few months but eventually she wanted it back, so before i gave it back i wondertraded all of my pokemon.
|
A Shiny Wingull that I encountered while EV training was my first proper encounter with a Shiny Pokemon...sad thing is that I nearly hit it with a move that hits every Pokemon. Might as well have, as a Shiny Wingull isn't particularly important or anything, but...it's the milestone that counts.
First Shiny Pokemon I've ever caught, yeeeeeeah. |
My first shiny in Pokemon X was a Shiny Fletchling within the first 9 hours of game play on my first day having the game xD
|
So, I already posted, but I thought I would do a follow-up. I was just EV training my Ferroseed a few minutes ago and encountered a shiny, only this time it was a Pokemon I couldn't stand, and it was a pain in the arse to obtain. I had already maxed out Ferroseed's HP EVs via Gulpin hordes on Route 5. I wanted to max out his SpD EVs, too, but there's only one decent place to do that: Route 21 via Swablu hordes. Well, you're bound to find way more Spinda hordes per Swablu horde; and sure enough, one of the Spinda was shiny. First, I hate Spinda. It looks like it's doing some cultic, ritual, devil-worshipping dance. Second, it's just creepy. Third, having to eliminate 4 Spinda, all of whom know Hypnosis, before being able to catch that one, creepy, devil-worshipping Shiny? It was a pain. But I figured I should do it since shinies are rare. Well, of course that contributed SpA EVs to Ferroseed. So, after I caught Spinda, I had to get a reset bag and reset all my EVs and start over again -_-
|
My first shiny was a bit of a shocker :P
I was playing a Japanese copy of Pearl and I got into the battle with Palkia. The first try it was normal-coloured, but I accidentally knocked it out while trying to weaken it enough to catch it (I didn't want to waste my Master Ball). I resetted, and proceeded to go WHOA DANG because SHINY SPARKLES :O The Master Ball was perfectly justified this time, since I wasn't going to accidenally faint my first-ever shiny 'mon. Since then I've transferred it over to my Y and it also became the first ever pokemon I bothered to raise to level 100. It sits in the first spot in my trophy-shiny box since it's not particularly useable competitively (and I don't like using legendaries in player vs player battles anyway) and I usually just use it when I'm training lower-leveled pokemon in the restaurants. It holds that special "first ever" place in my heart regardless :3 |
My first shiny was a Tangela in the Safari, at least in XY. Sadly I don't have it any more, as I lost that cart in November, the same day I found my second shiny, Gible, who I now curse as the most unlucky shiny in the series. Gyarados is the most lucky one btw.
|
My first XY shiny, and 11th overall, was a Scatterbug that I Masuda bred for.
|
Someone wonder traded their shiny Kyurem to me i was jumping for joy and i just recently hatched a shiny charmander after a zillion eggs
as for older games i caught shiny ratatta off route 1 and a shiny graveler in mt silver in the original silver (Cartridge got lost) and i got a shiny lilypup in W2 but that was a rom so i cant transfer him urghhh |
First ever shiny I encountered was a Koffing in Chrystal I believe. First (and so far only) shiny enountered in Y is a shiny Togepi in one of my friend safaris. I almost didn't realise it was shiny, but when I did I catched it with no trouble.
I've only ever encountered three shinies in the wild in all years I've been playing Pokemon. The third is a shiny Zubat catched in fire red. I transferred it to Y. |
A shinny Geodude in one of Johto's caves (pokemon crystal).
|
I had my first real shiny encounte in Pokémon X.
Of course I've seen shiny Pokémon before and I tried the shiny fishing and shiny chaining but the first shiny Pokémon I ever met by just training my Pokémon was Geodude. It was a Horde Encounter. 4 normal Geodudes and one in gold :D It was nerve wrecking to kill all the others first. Luckily it was just the shiny one that used Magnitude the whole time. If it was another one it would have killed the shiny one very fast. But all went well and now I own a shiny Golem. I'm happy that I finally encountered a shiny Pokémon but I don't like this one at all. Don't want to be picky, though xD |
My first real encounter of a shiny Pokémon, was back in Pokémon Emerald and my encounter with Rayquaza. Wasn't able to catch in 10 resets, and on the 11th time a fought it, it was black instead of the normal green. I was shocked to say it at least, and for once in all my gaming of Pokémon I had to use the Master Ball to catch a legendary. Actually the only time I have used a Master Ball.
In Pokémon X, my first shiny encounter was a Kirlia in friend-safari. One ball was enough, but still haven't evolved it. |
My first X/Y shiny was a pumpkaboo from friend safari. I forgot that my talonflame had flame body and it got burned but I managed to catch it anyway.
|
My first shiny encounter was the other night, in friendsafari. It was a shiny Ferroseed. I honestly lost it when it suddenly appeared and was like "is this real?" xD
It was the first time i caught a shiny, literally xD first time encountering one too xD |
My first shinny in pokemon x was caught with the fishing chain method, it was a shinny Clawitzer, it didn't took more than 30 minutes fishing I think, the next shinny appeared like 15 minutes after, another shinny Clawitzer. I named one of them "Why not" and the other one "Zoidberg?"
|
While grinding in Victory Road, I encountered a Horde of Geodude containing one Shiny. This may have been the most nerve-wrecking experience of my entire Pokémon career (Magnitude). Normally Shiny Geodude are a problem because they can Self-Destruct, but luckily the ones in Hordes do not know that move. I couldn't throw any balls until the other four were killed, though. I first thought about just using Surf and see if it had Sturdy, but that was too risky (Geodude can also have Rock Head) and I had an underleveled Venipede in the first spot so I'd have to switch out anyway. I sent out Seabubble, my level 100 Blastoise, just to faint them one by one. In the turn that I switched, the panic already began. The Geodude in the middle used Magnitude, and it got a 7. This put all the others down to approximately half. The other ones all attacked only Seabubble. I used Ice Beam to get the Geodude that used Magnitude down, since it was most dangerous at full health. I was just relaxing a bit that turn, when suddenly this text appeared:
The wild Geodude used Magnitude! Magnitude 6! I didn't know if my Shiny would be able to survive this, so I got to the tip of my chair again. Then I realized it was the Shiny Geodude that had used the move. The Geodude at the far right fainted (bad Special Defense IVs I guess). In the next turn I got to take out the Geodude left at the middle right. The last one left (at the far left) decided he would leave his special brother to me and attacked Seabubble at last. I threw a Dusk Ball and caught my Shiny Geodude. |
My very first shiny was a torkoal way back in Pokemon Emerald :p but my first encounter in X was a weepinbell and if hadn't been for the blue sparkles I wouldn't have even known >.<
|
My first shiny in X was a Shiny Ralts I hatched via Masuda Method. I'll admit, I was expecting her to be normal and almost had a heart attack when I saw she was shiny.
Fun Fact: The only other shiny pokemon I've caught (legitimately) in any other version of the game (except my Lake of Rage Gyarados) were both in White; a shiny Basculin named Axiom, and a shiny Mawile named Maxie. I've since transferred both to my X game, and Maxie actually made it into my Hall of Fame. |
I was in a Friend Safari when I noticed sparkles and then a light orange Growlithe. I couldn't believe that my first X/Y shiny ended up being my favorite Pokemon! It even had its Hidden Ability. The next day I found a Shiny Lampent in a different Friend Safari and a week later I found a shiny Gulpin while EV training in a Horde Battle. My friend traded me a shiny Eevee and Helioptile and I traded a Palkia for a shiny Torkoal on the GTS. I also transferred my shiny Bibarel and Patrat to X.
Nothing beats that first shiny encounter with Growlithe, though. It's my favorite. |
My first real X shiny (as in not a chainfishing one) was a Sentret on route 6! I named her sophie and I may have erased over her, or traded her, I can't remember. Unfortunately she had a terrible nature but it was still cool c:
|
My first shiny in XY was Mienfoo, I found it while exploring the safari just after completing the Kalos League. Was the first time in the safari and Mienfoo appears sparkling :3 I was kinda lucky of finding it with the HA and Hasty nature :D
|
My first shiny in Y Was a Seviper.
Encounter it randomly and traded for a Xerneas. |
Lol it was totally Hoppip
|
My first shiny in X/Y occurred the first time I walked into the friend safari. I was looking through one of my RL friend's safaris... and it was the first Pokemon I ran into. It was a shiny Quilladin, and since it was the first one I caught in X/Y, I just thought that the friend safari was full of shinies. I mean I guess not, but I did catch a shiny Mienfoo a couple days ago in the friend safari too.
|
My first shiny (and only so far) in the game is a Trevenant, which is also my second shiny overall. I had five Pokemon at the time, and I was in the route before the Pokemon Village. They were all great, but I was really desperate to find one last member for my team because I always make it a rule for myself to finish the game with a team of six. So I was running around the grass until I found Trevenant. I caught it, and it just stayed in my PC, but I'd never trade it :)
|
I just got my first shiny encounter! Well not really an encounter. A shiny Swinub hatched through masuda method after only 30 eggs :D Now going for a shiny Swablu.
|
My first shiny was a Mime Jr.
In a horde, no less. So I knocked out the first 3...but then attacked the wrong one when I was trying to take out the last one. I was tired and..I..honestly am not too bothered. |
I got shiny Poliwag just few days ago, but I was chain fishing so it's not too special. I still like it and I think I'll evolve it into a Politoed. I'd like to find a random shiny in XY since my last one was found in HG like four years ago.
|
I was playing fire red and running around in the safari zone. My first encounter was a shiny pinser and caught it in 3 attempts, sadly I gave it away for a hacked ho-ho in the gts on diamond :(
|
My first shiny in XY was Gothorita, it came unexpectedly cause I was busy hunting for dittos in the pokemon village. Outside of XY, the only game that I had encountered a shiny (not counting HGSS red gyrados) is in platinum when I was level grinding and found a shiny ponyta by chance.
|
I've never caught a shiny in 6 years
|
It was a shiny Budew! I caught it very early in the game, exactly 1 year ago :P
PS. Happy 1st anniversary X&Y!!! |
A shiny Magikarp! It was modest nature tho ._.
|
My first shiny in X/Y was also my first ever shiny throughout the entire series (excluding Red Gyarados, of course)- a Ralts.
Needless to say, I caught the l'il bugger right fastish. But then it just sat in the PC until I unlocked Kiloude city, and it turned out its IV's were bollocks. Wonder Traded him away. |
I haven't had a shiny encounter since Crystal, so uh... there's that.
|
My first was a Gulpin, on Route 5. Not even in a horde either! I think it got my hopes up that I'd get a lot more, which I eventually have, though it was the only one I got before I beat the game.
Now I have almost a box full of shinies. XD Having the Shiny Charm and horde hunting will do that. |
Caught a shiny noibat in friend safari yesterday
|

I was graced with a shiny encounter during like the first 30 min of stepping into Kalos. It was a Bunnelby, not part of the initial game plan, but it was shiny so I trained it and added it to my team. Diggersby is really quite awful though without Huge Power, and even full-boosted Returns did barely anything haha. Diggersby looked cool though, so I couldn't ditch him.

|
My first shiny was when I first got the game and I was searching for a Skitty. Instead I found a shiny Budew.
|
My first shiny encounter was a mienfoo in the wild and it killed itself with Jump Kick :(
|
Back when I was training for the E4 or something on Route 18 I found a shiny Sandslash, caught her, and named her Ruby (for the deep red color of the spines, because of course). Her IVs weren't terrible either and I rather like Sandslash so I trained her and use her as one of my many teammates, which is much more than can usually be said of random wild shinies or ones got from Wonder Trade which now sit in a box on Bank for all unused shinies collected since Gen3 (I don't have many, though).
|
My first shiny in X was a shiny Gothorita. I found it in a Psychic friend safari while I was looking for a breeding parent. At first, I was really happy. But then I realized it was a shiny Gothorita, and the shiny version offers virtually no interesting color change. It's like someone took the original Gothorita, and Photoshopped it. Photoshopped it badly. Gave it an extra red highlight or something. I traded it away for some non-event legendary, it wasn't really all that valuable as far as shinies go.
|
My first shiny in Y was a Skorupi. I was trying to find an Ekans to complete the Pokedex and I ran into a Skorupi horde and the screen momentarily went dark and there was a red Skorupi in the 1-o'-clock position! I caught her and named her Cherry! Around the same time I caught a shiny Skiddo via Pokeradar and named it Lucky... I really don't remember which one I ran into first. I still have both.
|
"If you still remember" assuming we've had too many to count smh....
Found a shiny Rotom randomly when I was searching for something in the hotel place and that was my only random encounter (so far!). The first one I deliberately sought out was a Relicanth, and I caught that after a chain of 70 or so. |
The very first Shiny I got was a Shiny Alomomola from chain-fishing. I also found several other Shinies through chain-fishing, but I am most glad with the fact that I have found a Shiny Whismur by random encounter in the wild, and that I have hatched two Shinies.
|
Hard to remember but im pretty sure it was my shiny eevee on that one route!
I was so happy when I got it(and then i traded it away haha) |
