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

BadassSquirtle September 24th, 2014 12:14 PM

My shiny was in Pokemon diamond where i accidentally killed it it was a Croagunk....

Summers September 24th, 2014 12:49 PM

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.

welsknight September 25th, 2014 3:17 PM

I've actually never had a Shiny encounter... been playing since Generation I, and I've never had a shiny encounter. *cries*

Cloudfury September 27th, 2014 1:24 PM

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:

Nakasu September 27th, 2014 2:06 PM

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.

Shrew September 27th, 2014 3:51 PM

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:

HollyYoshi September 27th, 2014 5:54 PM

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. >_>

Handsome Samurott September 29th, 2014 3:02 AM

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 :)

CuteLittleBlack September 29th, 2014 3:52 AM

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 :)

DJX71294 September 29th, 2014 8:53 AM

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!!

Meganium September 29th, 2014 12:35 PM

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

Dedenne1 September 29th, 2014 2:53 PM

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 :(

Trick 'r Treat September 29th, 2014 4:05 PM

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.

Caesar September 29th, 2014 4:12 PM

I've been playing since blue, and have yet to see a shiny...

ShadowEdge September 29th, 2014 4:57 PM

Is it sad that I've been with pokemon since the very beginning and I have yet to encounter a shiny pokemon?

Gogoat Rocks! September 29th, 2014 9:53 PM

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. :)
