[Sword & Shield] What Was Your First Shiny In Sword And Shield

I have honestly yet to get any shiny pokemon in Sword and Shield. I spent so long trying to get one from both eggs and the trick you do by beating pokemon, but I still haven't encountered a single shiny pokemon in Sword and Shield. I guess I could say Zeraora, but it was an event pokemon and I just don't count it.

I didn't start shiny hunting till after Shiny Charm and still no luck. I've tried Noctowl, Riolu, Rookidee, and a far many other pokemon. So with so much bad luck, I just stopped shining hunting, But I am thinking about trying to get Shiny Pumpkaboo, at least till the end of October.

Edit: Actually I lied, I completely forgot about the random Shiny Comfey I got when I was looking for Alolan Digglet on Isle of Armor. So yeah, I did get that... as far as I can remember, that is the only one I've gotten and it was by complete accident.

Holy molly, 15 years? That's dedication. Also, am I the only one who never got a shiny?! Except for Pokemon GO, they have events and what-not.
 
Mine's not too exciting tbh. I was spamming max raids and got in on a hacked raid with a 6 IV shiny sylveon. Still looked cool tho
 
Im fairly new to the game. My first shiny was a gastly. Caught it in the wild, first week into playing. I wasn't hunting for shinies at the time when it appeared. Definitely made my day.
 
My first was a rockruff that I accidentally ran into in tall gras
 
my first was lilligant i found it randomly in the max lair while looking for zygarde.
 
A random encounter with a Pangoro. Not a bad find but not my favorite. Still, I'll take any shiny I can get lol.
 
My very first playthrough, not long into the game the very first Eldegoss I ever saw was a shiny. I then looked up the pokemon because I saw the shiny animation and was in disbelief
 
I was talking about how I liked Wooloo's Shiny with a friend, who's a bit more into the games than I am, when they suddenly decided to give me one as a gift. Still stored in a box somewhere, much appreciated.

I still haven't actually run into a shiny on my own! That's life for you.

My first shiny was either the Shiny Zerora everyone got when the Isle of Armor released. If you don't count those, then I got a Shiny Snover by complete luck while doing a Nuzlocke, and the first one I genuinely hunted was a Shiny Wooloo after I got the Shiny Charm (took a bit over 1000 encounters)
 
It was super early in my playthru. First time in the wild area, walk up to the first berry tree I find, shiny skwovet pops out. Basically my third encounter in the entire game and it was shiny.
