I found first random shiny since Emerald just now and it's a fucking Pelipper. This is the worst timeline.
Anyone else have similar stories?
Is its shiny that bad? Also pelipper is a good hm slave at least.

First shiny i ever found was in HG. a shiny cyndaquill.
no shinies inbetween until sun and moon.
Lax fucking Grandbull.
>>30235395
It's just green, but this isn't about its shiny's appearance, I just hate Pelipper.
Also, no HMs in SM, anon.
The first random shiny I ever found was a Ratatta in Heart Gold.
>>30235366
My legit shinies.
Fearow
Geodude
Simisage
To be honest most look like garbage, at least I have pkhex for the cool ones. Stuff like reunicles and golurk have fucking amazing shinies, wish more were as good as those two.
First rando shiny, a Ducklett on Driftveil Drawbridge in White 2.It's worth noting I had just woken up and was on the toilet when I found it. It was a self-fufilling prophecy, okay?
>hatching eggs in Moon to unlock the IV Judge
>hatch a shiny Zubat

I found a shiny Mild Crabrawler the other day. You cant even fathom my disappointment.
>>30235366
I've found two random shinies in Sun, a Gastrodon and a Luvdisc. Gastrodon was actually pretty helpful, though.
>played since shinies were introduced
>still haven't seen one
it hurts

Grinding nonstop horde battles until I encounter a shiny Roggenrolla. I ran into 6. FUCKING 6. Shiny Mime JR before I found one. The whole thing took a week. My friends still bring it up.
Also, hatching for perfect IV female combee, ended up with a shiny male

>shiny that looks worse then the base color
My condolences.
>>30235366
WOW,
I ran into a shiny pelipper yesterday.
>>30235598
>still haven't seen one
>when there's at least 5 shiny/dubs name it threads at day on /vp/
I got two shinies in the same day this week.
First was a shiny ratata.
The second was a shiny raticate.

>do island scan
>oh hey I recognize that silhouette, it's Luxio
>why is it yellow?
>dawning realization
I boxed it. I might be able to use it due to hyper training but I'm sure it's not really worth the effort.
>got the original blue in 4th grade, played every generation since
>never got a shiny shiny
I never hunted for them, but I also never have found one.
>>30235366
Got a shiny carbink the other day, not going to use it but it does look good at least
>>30235366
I've caught 7(?) shinies. I lost my Scolipede, Tentacool, and Joltik when my Pokemon X had a save issue and got messed up. I caught a Wingull and Mareep, nothing wrong with them. While I was looking for a sticky hold Gulpin, I found a shiny liquid ooze Gulpin, and finally in Sun I caught yet another shiny Wingull. My shiny luck really is great, and awful all at the same time.
>>30235650
I actually caught a Shiny Pelipper yesterday as well.
>>30235366
Hunting slowbro in melemele island shore, shiny slowpoke shows up 48 into an sos chain. Depression set in quickly.
>>30235366
The shittiest shiny I found is probably a Spearow in Heart Gold when I was hunting the beasts. I'm quite content with all my other finds since they aren't from the "make it green" group.
>>30235650
>>30235799
It's a conspiracy.
>on route 8
>fucking up the trainers to fight bossfag
>Rando poke
gee its a trumbeak
>why is it purple
>used that toucannon the entire gaem
sad thing was ive put 2000+ hours into poke games and this is birst shiny
Caught 3 shiny Zubats and 1 shiny Whismur before I happened to hatch a shiny Larvitar and a shiny Snover. In the end though it worked out pretty well.
Lol I've caught a few shinies before but my first one in Moon was Pelipper, too, OP.
>play ruby several years back
>encounter wingull wondering why the fuck it's green
>try catching it
>only 2 pokeballs available
>failed both times
a FUCKING shiny wingull that didn't want to get caught.
Spearow while I was hunting for a Bagon to chain the other day.
>>30235461
But it gets Drizzle now.
>>30235366
I have like 4 or more shiny zubats.
Fun factEvery one so far has been Sassy
>>30235366
I think this speaks for itself, I was just playing through Soul Silver, I think after I had just made it to Kanto.
>gen 2, gold version
>very first pokemon is a shiny pidgey
>think this is just what playing a new gameboy color is like and ko it for the xp
>run into more pidgeys
>no sparkle
>still haunted seventeen years later
>gen 4, heart gold version
>shiny magikarp in dragon's den
>catch it
>realize i can never evolve it because no one will ever know it's not just the lake of rage gyarados
My first non-bred shiny ever....a fucking spearow...
>>30235366
>It's a bad shiny thread
>Still no one has topped my first shiny ever that I didn't even get until X/Y after playing this franchise since its inceptionMale Combee with a shitty nature and bad IVsI'm ready for my male Salandit shiny this gen
First shiny I found was ditto in emerald. Having a shiny ditto transform into shiny versions of other pokemon was so cool, then GF ruined it and shiny ditto didn't transform into shiny pokemon afterwards :(
>>30235366
My first was a zubat in ruby.
The worst part is my R/S/E games got stolen.
You have no idea how happy I was to get the remakes 10 years after the games got stolen.
>>30235366
My first shiny was in Alpha Sapphire. I've been playing since Gen 1. It was a shiny timid Swablu. AbsoluteGarbage that I never used and threw on my Y save when I reset my alpha file. OT is Inferno Cop.
This was pretty shitty
No one can match me when it comes to shit shinies.
I had a shiny graveler explode on me.
I caught a shiny magikarp in gen 3, which subsequently stopped meaning shit when HG/SS came out.
And I have a shiny basculin. Yes, that ugly little fish you had to google just now.
>chain out shiny crabrawler within an hour
>that wasnt too hard
>try again on magic carp
>about 3 hours in and i forget to switch out magic carps
>it struggles and dies
>try again for shiny growlith
>about two hours in and i run out of pp
>>30238917
Grow some leppas. They're the best.
Only one I've ever gotten.
Fuck me up
>>30235366
a shiny ralts
>physical attack boosting nature
>shit sp.atk iv
>>30235366
My first shiny was a wingull in pearl.
He is still with me as a wingull to this day in my Y version Storage game.
Fun fact, you can stall a turn by using an awakening or item on a mon. If it's a non-legal usage, it eats the turn and not the item.
>>30239704
on a more on-topic answer, my first shiny was Ursaring...
well it's something all right. second was a shiny geodude within 5 minutes of the first.
>>30239704
you can also just use the adrenaline orb again it wont do anything and wont use up your orbs
