Anacybele Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As many Pokemon players probably know, shiny Pokemon are the Pokemon that are oddly colored and emit sparkles whenever you see one. But they're so holy crap freaking rare that the chance of meeting one is like 1 in 8000 or so. Who here has had the pleasure of seeing/capturing a shiny Pokemon? I have! :D First shiny I met was a Nincada in Emerald. Didn't catch it because I didn't want a Nincada at the time. I also didn't realize how valuable shiny Pokemon really were either, so yeah. Second was Kricketune in Platinum. Caught it and traded it for a Volt Tackle Pichu. Third and very recently, Rattata in FireRed. I'm training it to be a shiny Raticate. :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soviet Gregor Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Shiny Abra Unfortunately, it teleported out. Edited January 31, 2010 by Star Mist's Nii-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 All on Gold: Male Drowsee just before Goldenrod, Female Rapidash at the foot of Mt. Silver and Male Doduo east of New Bark Town. I just trained the unevolved ones so they could evolve. I know a friend of mine is having a Female Azumarill for his 4th generation team, which IIRC he caught in the Safari Zone.

CT075 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Shiny Mightyena in Emerald. I didn't know what a Shiny was at the time and was going WTF? So I caught it. Then my cousin explained to me what a shiny was and why it's valuable, and proceeded to trade me a Mudkip for it. I facepalm whenever I remember it.

NinjaMonkey Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 The only shiny pokemon I've ever seen was a shiny Pidgey in Silver. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pokeballs on me at the time so I had to kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florete Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (Other than Gyarados) My first ever shiny was a Weepinbel in Diamond. Then in my first hour of Platinum I got a shiny Zubat. And Pokerus. Wut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldfox Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Shiny Abra Unfortunately, it teleported out. This made me laugh, sorry. First shiny that wasn't Gyarados was a Tentacool back in Crystal. After that I caught a shiny Zubat in Ruby. Then in Leaf Green I caught a shiny Haunter and Spearow, who is now a Fearow.

Bryan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I have gotten all of the 1st gen starters as shineies. It took alot of luck and a ton of reseting. Then, I hacked them in Pearl. ._. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Poleax Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 one time I saw a Shiny Weepinbell in the wild (Gold Version) but I killed it cause I already had one and didn't really care that it was a different colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Kitty Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I'm just gonna kill this... Crystal: Gyarados (The red one) Ruby: Zigagoon-Linoone (Event) Taillow-Swellow (Random Occurance) Tentacool (I caught it but then in about 10 min my cousin erased it... but she counted) Golbat-Crobat (Trade, but I had 2 pink crobats) Sapphire: Rayquaza (Random occurance, i didn't know until later he was green...) Emerald: Treeko-Grovyle-Sceptile (Egg) Poochyena (First pokemon I ran into that I could catch, thank goodness!) Colluseum: Crocanaw-Feralagatr (Snagged from the blue guy in the snagem hideout, didn't figure out it was shiny until he evolved) XD (Gale of Darkness): Sandshrew-Sandslash (Pokespot, looked funny when i saw her then i saw it was shiny and i flipped) Firered: Ninorina F (Random occurance) Pearl: Cressila (Thought I had my action replay in, didn't pay it mind, then noticed it was at my friend's house) I think thats all, but i always wanted a shiny oddish, love those guys. Can anyone top my list? I'd love to think so. I had 13 without cheats. Edited February 20, 2010 by Uphir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Jar Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 (edited) I found a Shiny Shellos once. Caught it. It was cute :) West side. Edited February 20, 2010 by Rafael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glenn Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The only Shining Pokémon that I've ever come across (having quit after G/S/C), aside from the Red Gyarados, was a Shining Ho-oh. On my copy of Gold, I had an absurdly overleveled Feraligatr (like, Lv. 60 or something), with my next strongest that could actually survive the fight being said Red Gyarados. After either having Ho-oh kill itself via Struggle or running out of balls to catch it with, I'd reset, and repeat the process. I just happened to get lucky enough that, on my 10th or so try of the process, I swapped Gyarados out front, and lo-and-behold, I was greeted by the heavenly body above. What sucks now though is that my Silver and Crystal carts (one of which had the Ho-oh) are both dead now, leaving me with a Gold cart that's probably died since when I came back to college in January. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kesmar Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) A shiny Wynaut, a shiny Aron (which I evolved to an Aggron), and a shiny Cacturne. All those on Diamond btw. Edited February 21, 2010 by Ksemanr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I caught a shiny Gyarados once, in Gold version. :D :D :D That's the only one I've gotten legitimately. I also saw a shiny Rapidash on that same Gold version, but it went down to a critical hit before I could catch it. When I got a Gameshark, I got myself a whole bunch of shinies. Since my file on that cartridge was deleted, four or five years ago, I haven't owned any shiny pokemon or even seen one in the wild.

Kintenbo Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I've seen plenty of shiny Pokemon, though I admit I only caught half of them, because I already owned the type of Pokemon. But for what I caught: Goldeen, Machop, Mareep, Larvitar in both Pokemon Silver and Crystal. Shiny female Nidoran and Ditto in Leaf Green. Shiny Spinda for Ruby. From what I've seen but didn't catch, shiny Golbat, Zubat, Meowth, Diglett, Ratata and Onix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
