Excluding GSC's 100% shiny Gyarados and the eggs that had a 50% chance of being shiny, Sapphire! Got my Whismur there. :>

Excluding the red Gyarados and special event shinies like Giratina in Black 2 my first shiny, one I found myself in the wild, was a Pawniard in Y.

It was after I completed the game in Mar 2016. The only reason I knew it was shiny, as I didn’t see the sparkle or hear the ding, was that I encountered some red ones right before it. I probably would have ran had it been a first encounter since I wasn’t hugely familiar with gen 4 or 5 Pokemon.

Ruby version, shiny Linoone which I promptly fainted with my overleveled starter because somehow I got the impression that shiny Pokemon were stronger than regular Pokemon and that it would live. @[email protected]

Shiny Pichu in the Crystal. I think I've already said this story here, but here we go. I didn't realize it was shiny until I transferred it to the Stadium 2 and noticing it looked weird.

Pokémon Firered gave me my very first shiny; a Weedle I kept into a blue eyed Beedrill. Too bad I was too young to realize the rarity of such Pokémon. I ended up restarting the game thinking I captured a glitch.

The first shiny I ever found was a shiny Corsola in X after I chain-fished, so I have a soft spot for Corsola, even though it’s not the most useful Pokémon in battle. The first-ever full-odds shiny that I found was a Luvdisc in Shiny Gold Sigma. I was so excited that I finally found a random encounter shiny after a decade and a half of playing Pokémon that I used her all the way through the Elite Four!
