  • Green Nidoqueen in gold version. I was 8 so I think I traded it to someone for a Piloswine because I have an odd fascination with that Pokemon.

  • My first shiny... I think it was a shiny Caterpie in 2nd generation. I caught it because it looked pretty, but it was fooled from me by 7 years older kids than me. I traded it for a normal Growlithe. I loved Growlithe, and they made it seem like a fair trade.

    After that, well, Red Gyarados. I think that's a little cheaty, though.

    I have never encountered a random shiny before and after I learned how to RNG abuse. Probably because I stopped playing for years... but I've played through all of the games that I missed.

    I've actually had quite a few shiny encounters in my lifetime, but the first one I can remember was a Pidgey in Pokemon Gold. I didn't really understand what a shiny was because it was new and I was young, so I also caught three other Pidgeys that weren't shiny, decided that I didn't like how my file was going, and started a New Game. Then I learned how cool shinies actually were, and went on to get a shiny Gyarados, Tyrogue, Zubat, and Geodude.

    Excluding shiny Gyarados from Lake of Rage, my first ever shiny was a wild Geodude I came across in Granite Cave next to Dewford Town. I think the first time I caught it, I didn't realize that it was shiny. I just thought it was weird looking. I was such a nub. -.-'

  • My first shiny I ever encounterd was a Shiny Electrike in my Pokemon Sapphire version. I found it on that route where you battle May on your way to Mauville City. I think I still have it today, and I remember that after I found it and caught it, the damn thing kept me going around the whole Hoenn region looking for other odd-colored Pokemon! Haha.

  • Shiny Koffing way back in Gold. I remember I gave my granny a shot of my gameboy colour and she was in the Burnt Tower and it appeared. I got all excited and then stupidly pressed run!
    First one I caught (barring red gara) was a Seaking in the Safari Zone in LG. First chained shiny was a Pichu in Plat.
