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

ilias_ October 12th, 2014 12:53 AM

It was a shiny Budew! I caught it very early in the game, exactly 1 year ago :P

PS. Happy 1st anniversary X&Y!!!

CreativeUserName October 12th, 2014 2:04 AM

A shiny Magikarp! It was modest nature tho ._.

PumpJack October 12th, 2014 3:05 AM

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.

SlightlyWinged October 12th, 2014 9:07 AM

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

What level was your shiny Ralts? Because I was recently wonder traded a high level shiny Ralts and now I'm curious x)

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.

Nah. The l'il dude was fresh off the field. Level 3 or so. Trace ability. Can't remember his nature.

Raichupacabra October 15th, 2014 7:01 AM

My first shiny was when I first got the game and I was searching for a Skitty. Instead I found a shiny Budew.

MegaFlanX October 15th, 2014 9:19 AM

My first shiny encounter was a mienfoo in the wild and it killed itself with Jump Kick :(

Amaruuk October 17th, 2014 6:21 PM

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).

KentuckyFried October 31st, 2014 2:06 PM

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.

Grey Wind November 1st, 2014 2:40 PM

"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.

GreenFlame November 1st, 2014 3:06 PM

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.

Dedenne1 November 1st, 2014 5:25 PM

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)
