In which game did you get your first shiny Pokémon?

Which Pokémon game gave you your first shiny? ✧・ﾟ:*

 

[XNaut]

Shiny red Gyarados was my first shiny Pokemon I got in Pokemon Gold.

 

[icycatelf]

Silver (GBC)

Excluding defaults, the first Shiny I found was a Golbat in Johto's Ice Path.

 

[Sheep]

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

 

[noa]

Shiny Spinda in Pokemon Sapphire!

 

[Maserati777]

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.

Shiny Shinx in Pokémon Platinum, outside Valley Windworks

 

[thedestinedblade]

I wanna say a shiny Onix in Silver, but it was so long ago that I'm probably not remembering correctly. Aside from that, I encountered (and caught) a shiny Clefairy in Platinum, which was pretty awesome.

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. @__@

 

[Brendino]

I caught a shiny Shroomish at some point in Sapphire, and didn't even realize it until years later when I was going through my boxes looking at my Pokemon. Yay for color blindness!

 

[Wapiti]

Excluding the red Gyarados, which I had a blast using in HeartGold when I first played it, the first shiny that I caught myself was a Trapinch in X.

Mine was a shiny male Nidoran in Silver version

Randomly found it in the grass next to that bug catcher that would call you about yanma swarms

Miss that lil guy

 

[Janp]

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.

 

[Leafsfan]

Pokemon Sun - a shiny exeggcute which i promptly evolved into a shiny alolan Exeggutor.

 

[Count]

Gold or Silver. It was either Noctowl or Flaaffy. Both in the same route near the Lake of Rage, though I'm unsure of it being in the same run.

 

[EC]

If we ignore the free one in Gold/Silver, it was a shiny Swinub in Platinum. I was so excited I used my Master Ball on it.

 

[Zero-G]

Ignoring the Red Gyarados:

a Minun in Emerald.

A MINUN OF ALL THINGS. :(

 

[Sydian]

i was playing ruby and caught the green eared whismur bc i thought he was sick and that it was my duty to help him feel better and get his orange ears back

 

[forg]

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.
