5th Gen Shiny Pokemon Thread

Caught a shiny Yamash in a quick ball, named her Cleopatra. Also got a salamence in the GTS, and a Scyther that I found in Platinum was later transferred.

No, unfortunately not in BW2. While I was training in BW though, I did find a shiny zigzagoon, but I killed it. :(

In Diamond, I hatched a shiny squirtle. I was so happy, I don't know why in the world I traded it!

The only shinies I've found was a shiny Feebas, which I was hugely stoked about, that I transferred to my BW team later on (totally forgot which game I had found it in .3.").

The other one I've found was a shiny Meinshao, which I killed with one hit, thanks to my glorious Chandelure...Wasn't that glorious of a moment.

Holy crap Feebas!? Luckyyy! ;o

Forgot to mention that I did have a Shiny Noctowl in my Silver version too... After I realised that shiny Pokémon were good... and not glitches ahahah!

NONE

POKEMON HATES ME

...I did get a shiny Magmar once on the GTS, but no way to conform if that was legit or not...

Very excited to say that I got my first RE shiny yesterday on Black 2! It was a lv 55 Audino, and it pretty much snuck up on me since I didn't have the sound on and I wasn't looking at the screen when it appeared. Luckily had my Watchog in my party and it didn't use Double-edge, so I was able to catch it easily. I'm so glad to have caught my own shiny, but I'm not sure how I'm going to use him yet.

Just today, I obtained a Shiny Altaria via the GTS. Altaria is beautiful when it's shiny. And it's one of my favorite Dragon-types too. All it cost was one Ninetales. Or was it Rhyperior...? I like trading away pokemon I get on the GTS for better ones, but Altaria is a keeper.

Found a shiny Horsea today! Now just to evolve it to a Kingdra.

I found a shiny Purrloin lv.9 caught it in an Ultra Ball and evolved it into Liepard and i love the red color.

Never had the chance to catch a shiny <:

nothing in black 2, but I recently bought white and not only caught pokerus off some wild pokemon but found a shiny karrablast. evolved it into escavalier and called it Pinkie. the only problem is that its stats aren't the best, and a 31 IV in speed isn't that good when your base speed is 20

Just caught a shiny Feebas and evolved it to Milotic! My luck is coming back! Hopefully I can find a shiny Absol to transfer to X for the new MegaAbsol.

Found my a shiny slowpoke in my first month of playing.

Finding a shiny Pokemon in gen 5 is nearly impossible for me... To put it into perspective I got the Pokerus before I found a shiny.

In Black/White I found a shiny Audino. (It's purple!!)

In Black 2/White 2 I found another shiny Audino.

Shinies aren't even that big of a deal to me anymore... They're just different-looking.

Out of pure curiosity, were you looking to catch in Audino in both games or was it just pure luck that you encountered two Audino's that were both shiny just walking through the grass. Interesting though, nice find.

Have the odds of getting a shiny stayed the same across all of the games?

Yes and no. To begin with, without hatching or acquiring the shiny charm, the chances are the same as all other games with a 1 out of 8192 chance. There is a method that has been introduced in prior games however called the Masuda Method (only from D/P and so on) when hatching which involves getting two Pokemon from completely different countries that somehow increase the odds of hatching a shiny to 3 out of 4096. The shiny charm, only introduced in BW2, increases the chances of finding a shiny to 1 out of 2730.

Shiny Gible and Shiny Dratini are gifts from beating Alder's grandson.
I have shiny gible and my friend has shiny dratini.
