1. Poochyena in Emerald
1.5 random encounter while ev training

2. Sylveon. I got one in a trade but I eventually hope to breed one I can use competitively.

Click my trainer card for my Trade Reviews
Due to poor health and other issues coming up in real life, I wont be able to be on here and breed very much for a while. If you have a trade with me please send me a pm, I have some trades in my pc that I never heard back about.

1. My first shiny I ever found was in Ruby on emulator. It was Zangoose, I was doing Nuzlocke challenge.
My first legit shiny was Vulpix in Pokemon X.

1.5 Masuda Method.

2. Ninetales, this color looks even more majestic on this Pokemon. Yes, I evolved my Vulpix after a short while.

My first ever shiny showed up on LeafGreen, about eleven years ago. I was trying to catch Zapdos, and had to keep resetting because it would either wipe my team or drain my bag of Poké Balls. On the sixth reset, I saw sparkles. I wasn't sure if I was imagining it or not, because Zapdos's shiny form is so similar to its normal form; but I managed to catch it, and sure enough, it was shiny. That Zapdos is sitting on Omega Ruby at the moment.

My favourite shiny is probably Absol; it just looks really cool, with those bright aqua eyes. It probably also has something to do with the fact that I managed to get a shiny one using the Masuda Method, after what must have been over 900 eggs.

What was your first shiny? My first shiny was a Shiny Drowsee which I encountered on my Pokémon Soul Silver play through, I still have this in my Pokébank now.

How did you get it? I got it on one of the routes early into the game, I think it was around the 3rd or 4th badge. I was just grinding up ready to face the gym and it appeared.

What is your favorite shiny Pokemon? Have you got it yet? Too many nice shines, must. have. all. of. them. ;_;
My first shiny was a Gastly that I found in Platinum. Since then I've traded it (I was dumb) which I really regret. Wish I could get it back. I've collected a lot of shinies over the years but my favourite has to be my shiny Autumn Sawsbuck that I hatched as a Deerling in about 4 eggs.

I've been considering giving away most of my shinies recently though, as I don't do much with them. :(
ben if you ever get a shiny Castform....


Anyways, my first shiny was a cute little Sunkern in Emerald! I didn't actually know it was shiny because it's shiny sprite is pretty bad. I caught it for Pokedex purposes and found out later that it was indeed a shiny. I trained it after that and enjoyed it a lot :3 I've caught a bunch of other shinies too including my most recent, a shiny Swablu!

The first shiny I ever owned was a gift from Castform! It was a Shiny Growlithe in X/Y which was really sweet as Arcanine was and still is my favourite pokemon.

The above is definitely my favourite shiny but I'm still hoping to find some others! The only shinies I've encountered in the wild have exploded or fainted which is awkward. :(

My first Shiny was Golett In a random encounter In my X file. He is now a Golurk and is a mainstay on my X team, Flying on a Shiny Automaton is very cool.

My favourite Shiny is Shiny Mega Gardevoir. I have found it my DexNaving. Oddly I was actually DexNaving for a Shiny Gothita making the encounter Semi Random. She is now a Shiny Gardevoir and won all the Hoenn Contests and made it into the Hoenn Hall of Fame.

red gyarados. obvious answer :P for long time players.

shiny Luxray - gamesharked a shiny Shinx because i wanted to run with a electric type, and the default color was bad, and sinnoh gives you some pretty poor choices for electric types. it was a debate between jolteon and luxray, and i can get shinx easier, earlier and legitly in game.

1. What was your first shiny
Eh, this one is tricky. Assume that the shinies must be from random encounters of course.

If it's in terms of my very first, it's a Shiny Golbat from a Gold hack called Pokemon Christmas.

If it's in terms of official games (and of course you have to skip hacks) , that will be my Shiny Male Nidoran which I got in Pokemon Gold weeks ago.

1.5 How did you got it?
Both gotten from the wild.

2. What is your favorite shiny Pokemon? Have you got it yet?
Shiny Fennekin since it's my most favorite Pokemon. Nope, haven't got it yet.

All my shinies are from Platinum since Im not bad at shiny chaining with the pokeradar, while my wild shiny encounter luck sucks as I've seen exactly zero.
First chained shiny was Poochyena, strongest is a lvl100 Metagross. (I chained for 10 shiny beldums lol) :D
