Mister Sunshine Sprinkles Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It was a Vanillite. I know; doubled shiny rating and all, and not to mention that I was Horde EV Training at the time, but Christ; I've been playing Pokemon for years, and this is the first Shiny I ever ran into. No numbers will spoil this for me. And i found a Shiny Masquerain shortly afterwards, so it balances outl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Oh cool! First shiny I ever got was a Kricketune in Platinum. I've gotten several more since then. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roivann Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have played every game since Emerald extensively. I have been playing Pokemon for what is going on nine years now. I have never, I repeat, NEVER, even ENCOUNTERED a shiny, let alone caught one. Actually, though, good for you. Ice types aren't appreciated enough, IMO. Plus, shiny Vanillite looks pretty... chill. *cue "Won't Be Fooled Again"* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Lightning Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 First shiny I ever ran into was Shiny Tangela in Crystal Version; the little twerp ran away before I could do anything. Didn't see a shiny in the wild ever again until I ran into a shiny Vulpix several months ago in Soul Silver; waiting to be transferred now to Y version! :D And only a few weeks ago, I found a shiny Quilladin in Friend Safari. And I hope to find many more shinies once I get that Shiny Charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxSpes Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I feel you OP. I've been playing since Sapphire(and blue/gold on emulators before that) and the first shiny I ever caught was a geodude in a horde. I was lucky enough that he was able to survive a magnitude and then knockout the remaining ones. After that , I was lucky enough to get a shiny 3IV aron out of an egg(without Masuda method!) I might try masuda method to get a shiny ralts in the future(because that black gown on mega gardevoir!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Aside from Gyrados I only managed to catch one shiny Pokémon. I ran into a shiny Drifloon by pure chance. I never thought of using one on my team, but it actually worked out very well. Many people are caught by surprise by unburden Drifblim holding a weakness policy. Double speed and sharply raised attacking stats rock. The many priority attacks being thrown around ruins it a little though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Didn't see a shiny in the wild ever again until I ran into a shiny Vulpix several months ago in Soul Silver; waiting to be transferred now to Y version! :D Haha, I'm just as excited to transfer my shiny Aggron from Emerald. ^^ I also have a shiny Raticate in one of my two copies of FireRed (I have two because my mom thought I didn't have it and bought a second copy for me. lol), a shiny Crobat in HeartGold, and a shiny Mandibuzz in Black. I never encountered a shiny in Black 2, unfortunately. :( I should transfer them all, now that I think about it. :D And most recently, I got a shiny Lickitung in X that is now a Lickilicky. But I've also seen a shiny Nincada (the first shiny I ever saw, didn't know how rare and valuable they were back then) and a shiny Tentacool (was out of Pokeballs. >.>). I passed on the red Gyarados. I like it in blue better. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Shiny Parasect in Crystal (although that file is gone now, RIP). Before that I encountered a Growlithe but it got away. Red Gyarados from the Lake of Rage doesn't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix01 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think my first was a shiny Graveler in Platinum. That game has been my most abundant source of shinies; I've found that, a Camerupt, and a Chingling. I also found a shiny Joltik in Black 2 last month. Naive natured, too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booton Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 My first shiny (with the Red Gyrados from Gold aside) was a Tentacool in Sapphire. Now being a Tentacruel, it is patiently waiting on my Black version for Pokemon Bank to come out so it can enter generation 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDRHAWK Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 No joke; a shiny Oddish in my recent run of X. I traded it to a buddy so he wouldn't feel bad that he never got one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Masayoshi Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 No joke; a shiny Oddish in my recent run of X. I traded it to a buddy so he wouldn't feel bad that he never got one either. Was it that one Oddish you traded? I've gotten: A shiny Graveler A shiny Geodude, Shiny Machoke And other Shines via AR when I messed around with BW's Software.

Icon of Sin Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I got a Gurdurr recently. Otherwise just search the 120298723470 other shiny threads to see what I had in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I want to say it was my precious Eevee Kiern, but I'm pretty sure it was Green Rock, an Onix in Pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 First I think was a Golden Caterpie that I beat because I thought I was either hallucinating or didn't know how valuable it was or whatever.Shiny Hoothoot in Soul Silver, and I think in either Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire: Beautifly, Poochyena, Zigzagoon, AND Elektrike.

Dar Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Never caught a shiny, and I've only encountered one. Wanna know what it was? Professor Juniper's Mincinno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZemZem Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I had a shiny Plusle in Sapphire. And my brother caught a shiny Rhyhorn is Platinum recently, but he was an idiot and deleted the file without keeping it safe. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull My Devil Trigger Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) honestly why do we have so many of these threads lol 1. Someone gets a shiny. 2. They make a post to talk about it. 3. People talk about their shinies on it 4. The thread dies 5. Go back to step 1 I got a Shiny Ho-Oh in the GTS today :o Edited January 25, 2014 by YoungMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeroMaster47 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 First one I got was a shiny Sunkern in Emerald. That was about 5 years ago, and it's long gone. The next one I found after that was last year. A Makuhita in an Emerald ROM. I also recently found a shiny Pidgey in Heart Gold. In Y, on release day, literally the first Pancham I ran into was a shiny. I've also found a shiny Wingull recently while doing some Pokedex grinding.

Lockhart Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 My first shiny was a Growlithe back in Crystal. He's rotting away somewhere dark and lonely, never to be transferred or played with again. I've gotten several other shinies since then, though, most recently an Aegislash I MM'd.
