I've yet to see any Shinies apart from Gyarados in HG/SS yet. However, I've met many more in the past. My first was Shiny Golbat in Ruby. Later I found a Shiny Pidgey in Fire Red. I also found a Shiny Wooper in Diamond. Years ago, my friend was foolish, so just by me trading the legendary dogs and Regis (this was before FR/LG, so the only way for the dogs was Colosseum, but I could just restart) and I got a shiny Castform, Meowth, and Pikachu (not all were his, some he traded for from his friends). Also, as I was testing my ROM hack once (mind you, I DID NOT mess with the shiny encounter rate), I got a Shiny Torchic. I count that one, too, and actually copied the save file from the hack and put it onto another Ruby ROM to actually play.

I'm currently looking for some Shinies in SoulSilver. Hopefully I'll find one soon...

It's impossible to get a Shiny Celebi unless you hack it because Celebi is only available from events so far, and all those events are made so it can't be shiny.

To keep this post from being spam, I have caught a Shiny Zubat in Soul Silver before and saw a Shiny Slowpoke, which I ran from by accident. >__>;

In my old HG game (before I lost it), I was SRing for a Timid Mewtwo. On the third reset, it came up shiny; when I caught it, it was Timid, but didn't have the IVs I wanted (I kept it anyway). In my current SS game, I ran into a shiny Tentacool while looking for Seel; it was Quiet (which wasn't I wanted) when I caught it; I kept it, though.

I've been searching for a shiny Zubat/Golbat for a while. I used to have a shiny Crobat in Diamond that I really liked... hard to find another.

I have yet to encounter a shiny in HG, my luck seems off.

Is it possible to chain pokes in heart/soul without the radar? if it is then wouldnt it be possible to chain slowpokes in slowpoke well by surfing in level 1? As they are their 100%!

I have never ever caught a shiny. Never. I'd love to get my first shiny in Black and White.

No, there is no chaining in Heart Gold/Soul Silver. Even if there was, you can't chain in caves or on water, only in grass.

There is, however, a PokeRadar (the item that allows chaining) in the PokeWalker, but it does not work the same way in the PokeWalker as it does in DPPt.

In the PokeWalker, if you have a special SID/ID (which is very rare) you can have a 1/32 chance of getting a shiny. But this happening is very rare. Probably rarer than an actual shiny in game. XD

strangely, I found shiny Pokemon a lot on the old Gold version. I had a shiny rattata, pidgy, and magikarp. none in HG though. I'm trying breeding though with that one method which I can't remember the name of. You know the one where you mix the nationalities. (woo french eevee!)

If I recall, I found a Shiny Metapod in HG right after getting pokeballs at the earliest point in the story. On Route 30. Literally first encounter on my second trip up the route. I nearly ran out of Pokeballs, too.

I hope I come across a shiny as well in my new playthrough of HG. I have a full team, and I just started. I traded them over. :) So hopefully while training a shiny will grace me.

Hi everyone :)

I've been playing Pokemon games since I was young (skipped out on R/S/E though) and have never encountered a shiny of my own.
I tried with Ho-Oh doing soft resets, but quickly gave up.

So today, I got home early and decided to fire up my Pokemon Heart Gold and continue my progress. I decided I wanted a Lickitung for my team, so went to Safari Zone to hunt around, after messing around a bit with areas etc, I encountered two Lickitung (both seemed to continiously break free) so I decided to try to find Marowak in another area, encountering many Zubats along the way, then, I got into another fight, so I was watching tv not concentrating until I heard that magical shiny sound, I look down at my DS and there's a Jolly Female Zubat just asking me to catch it :)

I panicked a bit, being my first shiny, but also because I'd recently seem some stuff about people encountering shinies in Safari Zone and then not being able to capture them.

So, I apologise for the wall of text, but just wanted to give the little story about my first ever shiny :)
