I searched the forums and couldn't find a thread like this one so here I go. I didn't know where to put it, and I thought this would be the best place.

Have you ever found a shiny Pokemon? If so what was it?



I found a shiny Golbat on Victory Road on my Emerald ROM several minutes ago. I got it down to half health and tossed a net ball at it. (Wasn't planning on it working, but it did.) When I first saw it, for a split second I thought my ROM was messing up. Turns out it wasn't. :D

What sucks is that I'm doing a challenge, so I can't show it off to the AI. AND it's on a ROM which sucks more because I can't transfer.

A level 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using Helping Hand, Metronome held item, Power Trick, a Skill Swap to Pure Power or Huge Power, 6 Attack boosts, and the Defense Curl/Rollout combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability Flower Gift and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 Ledyba or Yanma that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as Screech), it can deal 213,896,052 damage with a critical hit.

This belongs more to PGC (although I'm not sure if there's already a thread like this there).

I'll move it for ya!
My first shiny was an Oddish in Pokemon Emerald; I also found more in Pokemon Pearl; which was a Gyarados, Munchlax, and Heracross.

My first shiny is a shiny Cornscript in Quartz. (I made it obtainable, I wanted it SO much!) My sister says shinies in hacks don't count. I think they do. But my first (and only) shiny in an official unhacked game in an unhacked cartridge is my shiny Tengela in Crystal.

My first shiny was my Ponyta in Diamond, thanks to chaining.

I named it Flakey after the character in Happy Tree Friends, and I did what I was doing with all my Pokemon at that time- Smack on a Exp. Share and wreck the elite four and champion with my level 100 Rayquaza.

It's a level forty-something Rapidash and still in diamond.

Mine was when I was playing on my sisters game to catch her Shaymin, when suddenly a Shiny Wingull appeared. Naturally, I caught it and traded it to her for a Dialga. I evolved it of course. Sadly, I lost that game card.

Reading all of this makes me jealous. I want more shinies! I'd love to get a shiny Wingull. I like Pelipper.

My first and only shiny that I've randomly encountered was a shiny Rapidash. Found it on Mt. Silver ironically enough, in Pokemon Heart Gold. I was really lucky to find such a pretty shiny :) I'm gonna be masuda-ing for a shiny Bidoof soon.

My first and only shiny was a Roggenrola in Pokemon White. I named her Glimmer and she lives in a special PC box all to herself. :)

The first actual shiny that I caught was a shiny Pidgey back in LeafGreen.
It's now a lv.47 Pidgeot on White.

My first shiny was actually a Soft Reset shiny, which was a Charmander. Back in 2005, I heard about shiny pokemon and shiny hunting, which I started after I heard about it (I mean, 1/8192 chance of catching them and some of them have really cool colorations), so I reset my FireRed and SR'd for months, though I wasn't SRing it like every day or no-lifing it. And after 11,519 encounters (yes, I counted them on a sheet of paper and I still remember that number to this day), I finally got my own personal orange Charmander, which then evolved into orange Charmeleon, then to black Charizard!

tl;dr: My first shiny was a Charmander.

All I have to say is: Determined.

First shiny was a Hoot-Hoot years ago on my Gold version. Haven't found one since then.

The first shiny I encountered was back in the GSC days. I was training something on route 34, and I ran into a shiny Ratatta. I didn't know what the heck it was though, so I tried catching it aaaand no luck. My box was full. >:C fklsjdklgjskdgk

I've run into several others however
Geodude on diamond
Ghastly on pearl (Which I ran from on accident since I was EV training+not paying attention.)
another Ghastly on Platinum when I was EV training in the old chateau
Starly on Platinum
and another Ghastly on Soul Silver
Hatched:
Beldum, Magikarp, Bidoof, Charmander on Platinum

Oh, and when i played pokemon shiny gold on an emulator, i found a shiny ratatta before i had pokeballs.

My first shiny was a Whismur in Ruby. :) I didn't know what a shiny was, and I thought he had a disease actually. So I caught him in the hopes I could make him better. But I was afraid to evolve him. Anyway, he's the only shiny I no longer have now. I miss him. I wish I remembered his name. ...That kinda takes away the fact that I miss him, doesn't it? lol

Later on - after I knew what shinies are - I started to play Emerald and... the first Pokemon you encounter.. that Poochyena that attacks the profesor.. was a shiny D: and of course I couldnt catch it :~;
Strange enough.... I met another one not too lon after and caught it.

My first and only shiny was in Diamond. I turned it on one day, was in Celestic town, went left to where all those fighting types were in the tall grass and the very first pokemon I encountered was a shiny Meditite. I caught it luckily and it's a female. My dream one day is to find a shiny Vulpix, Ninetails is my absolute favorite pokemon.

My first shiny was a Spinda in Ruby :D It was in 2004 and I captured it just because I heard a strange sound at the beginning of the battle, bacause I was not seeing what was going on GBA. Now it is on my Pokémon Black and is one of my favourite Pokémon. It is UT too :D

Now I've got tons of Legit Shiny Pokémon, some captured by me ( about 20), others traded.

The first shiny I ever got, other than the red Gyarados, was a shiny Chinchou in Gold. I caught it fishing with a Super Rod at the Vermilion City Fast Ship port. This caused Chinchou and Lanturn to become among my favorite Pokemon, and I kept that Lanturn in my team until I lost my save file. :(
