Shiny Gliscor was mine. Route 11 if I remember correctly. Really disappointed it didn't have its Hidden Ability but it had a decent nature and Hyper Cutter, so I leveled it up a bit and then just stored him away in my PC. Nothing too spectacular :/

The first shiny I found in my Black was a Boldore in Twist Mountain, but I accidentally ran from it. I did at least compensate for that by randomly catching a shiny Drilbur in Chargestone Cave months later. He's now an Excadrill sitting in the PC.

I was in the library my freshman year killing time before my next class. I was running around Pinwheel Forest doing...I don't even know what or why I was there, honestly. I wanna say I was looking for where Virizion was. This was back when the games were new in Japan and I had imported my copy. Anyway, I found a shiny Venepede, but being in a library, I couldn't SCREAM IN JOY!!! So I had to contain it, lol. I name him Bwchv in a haste and I took him on a grand ride into the Hall of Fame eventually. That being said, he is a Scolipede now and still resides in my Japanese White.

Mine was a shiny larvitar in White, i got it by masuda method, i never got a shiny from the grass unluckly :C xD

Maharet December 11th, 2014 8:57 AM

A Durant in White, in Victory Road if I'm not mistaken. It got permaboxed, and to date it's my only shiny in fifth gen. :(

Pendraflare December 11th, 2014 6:38 PM

I think it was an Audino in White 2 (not counting the Haxorus, Dratini, etc). Came up on Route 20 while I was trying to train for Roxie in one of my playthroughs.

And in BW, it was a Patrat I found in a Nuzlocke in Black, before the first Gym even. I didn't use it, but it was still not an expected find.

Unfortunately, I don't believe I had ever ran into any shiny Pokémon in Black nor White. I'm sure I would have if I tried, by chaining and whatnot.

Though, I did get myself a shiny eventually, which was transferred from another game. It was shiny Charizard. If I remember correctly, I'd first got the Charmander as an egg in Diamond version, which wound up to be shiny after hatching. I'm not sure of what the chances are of these kind of things actually happening, but I know I'm lucky. I love this Pokémon; its color-scheme seems very fierce, if you ask me!

Second shiny, which was also transferred, was Lucario. This was given to me by a friend in Platinum version, and have been keeping it with me on every game ever since. It seems to have good IVs, and its nature is great, too--Adamant.

Resurrecting this thread to share my single Gen V shiny encounter. It was in Black 2, on Route 4 while I was training for Elisa. I still remember my thought processes when this happened:

'Well, I'll head out to the Desert Resort, [my Azumarill] likes it there, I can gain a level or two there. Maybe I'll even find N's Darumaka here.' Then I run into a Pokémon. 'Hey, maybe this is it. Oh, no, okay, it's a Dwebble... Wait.'

That Dwebble is now a Crustle. He's still sitting on my Black 2 game card; I'll have to transfer him over at some point.

It was a Dousion. I have her sitting in the Pokebank right now. Don't know if I'll take her out on the town anytime soon.

She_Delphox January 9th, 2015 2:32 AM

As for me, I was training my Dewott for Elesa's gym in the Desert, when I ran into a Pink Darumaka: my first shiny in Pokemon White! ^_^

Judge Mandolore Shepard January 9th, 2015 7:03 AM

I recall the time I encountered a shiny Pokemon in White was not until the aftergame. So my first shiny Pokemon in White was a shiny Gligar.

curiousnathan January 9th, 2015 9:43 PM

My first shiny was a shiny Braviary in Pokemon White, followed by a shiny Beartic in Pokemon Black 2; both of which I caught whilst in the car haha. It must be lucky!

Return January 10th, 2015 5:23 AM

My first shiny that i every caught is Lillipup in Pokemon white and then i never encountered any shiny pokemon :)

magicalgirlj January 18th, 2015 6:54 PM

I have not found a shiny in black yet, however I traded and got a shiny Dialga and Palkia.

Nah January 18th, 2015 7:17 PM

iirc the first Gen V shiny I ever caught was a Pelipper. Don't know where it is though.....maybe it's still on my Y or something.

Then there was this one time I got a shiny Kyurem off of the GTS.

Who the hell puts a shiny Kyurem on the GTS?

EnderGreninja January 19th, 2015 6:28 PM

My first and still only shiny pokemon from Gen V was a shiny Minccinno that I happily evolved into a Cinccinno :D

ActualRealJamz January 20th, 2015 7:55 AM

I have yet to actually find a shiny myself, although a friend of mine had a shiny Absol, but would rather have had a Milotic - so I'm now in possession of this Absol.

TwilightBlade February 8th, 2015 6:54 PM

I encountered my first shiny during my first wild battle in Pinwheel Forest. I found a shiny Cottonee, which is one of my favorite Pokemon. Her nickname is Arcelia, which means treasure. ^_^ Here was my blog entry that night as well:

OMG I WAS PLAYING POKEMON BLACK WHILE IN MY BED... YES AT 4 AM.

In Pinwheel forest, I ran into my first Cottonee. 3 hours into the game, 2 badges. My favorite BW Pokemon..... I bought Black just for Erufuun/Whimsicott. And and and omg my first random shiny in forever...

I jumped out of my bed. I'm still all sweaty. I caught her in a heal ball. She needs a nickname. I am shaking so hard lol Pokemonz. ~O~

Leonhart54 February 8th, 2015 8:38 PM

charizard! favorite card too!!!!

Megan February 9th, 2015 3:49 AM

I only got one shiny and it happens to be that shiny Dratini you get as a gift in White 2.

Psychic February 9th, 2015 10:51 PM

Not counting Haxorus or Dratini (or the event dragon trio), my first (and only) gen 5 shiny was a Boldore! I really like blue shinies, and she looks excellent. I can't bring myself to evolve her, haha.

Hushimine Rage February 12th, 2015 10:43 PM

My first shiny happened to be Yamask, if remembered correctly.. I think it was on post-game, when I revisited Relic Castle. It's a Cofragigus now..
