  • The first ever shiny I ran into was a Hariyama in Sapphire. Not counting the Red Gyarados, that was the only shiny I've ever found in the wild, after many years of playing Pokemon. It whirlwinded me. >__>

    Many years later, I finally researched chaining. The first Pokemon I ever got that way was a Hoppip, when I was chaining them for a friend. It felt good to know that I MADE that one happen. Nowadays... I'm a shiny hunter, and have caught over 30, filling up a box, and then some. n.n Granted, that means only 10 different species, because I catch a ton of extras for trading, but I still have a lot of shinies. :3

  • I've been playing Pokemon this entire decade (Since G/S/C) and I still haven't caught or seen a shiny. Unless you count the Red Gyrados in the Lake of Rage.

  • Boy, my first shiny was a long, long time ago.. I was playing FireRed while we were on a trip with our class in like, 1st or 2nd grade (i'm in 8th grade now), I don't remember, but it may have been a shiny Weedle. But as it was a lot of sun and my screen was nearly impossible to see, I don't remember if I caught it our KOed it.

    The only shiny pokemon i've seen after that must have been the shiny Meowth I ran into during my run-through of Trainer Hill in Emerald a month or two ago.

  • Mmmmm in my silver version i was headbutting trees for 2 hours looking for a herracross, but then a shiny pineco appeared. At first i didn't know what it was but i was super excited, i battled the pineco and got it really weak but it used selfdestruct :( i was uber mad cause pineco were also rare. And another time in my silver version i ran into a shiny nidoran (male) but i ran out of pokeballs :( (I don't count red gyarados) My first shiny catch was in Pokemon Pearl which was a shiny psyduck

  • The first Shiny I ever saw/caught was a Zubat in my Silver version [I think . . .]. I thought something was wrong with my Gameboy when I first saw it! XD

  • My first and only non-chained shiny was Golbat on (IIRC) June 27th, 2005 on Sapphire's Victory Road.

    I was speed running through it with my level 100 Charizard from LG as I had completed Pokemon Channel and I wanted to transfer the Jirachi over as soon as I could. I went into battle with it but had to do something for 5 minutes. When I came back I saw a green Golbat staring at me. I just froze before successfully capturing it. XDD
