Safari Zone in Pokémon Sapphire
I was very young, but I was very well aware of what Shiny Pokémon were and I always wished I'd run into one. I was really excited when this guy popped up. I was terrified it might run away but I caught it luckily.

What the fuck Gamefreak?
hoothoot at the very beginning of my first soul silver game
Fuck's sake they're all green.
A shiny magikarpin silver
First shiny ever. Sadly couldn't transfer it from gold. Did clone it to have a shiny Hypno too.

Why are all first shinies Puke Green/Yellow?!
Mine was pic related.
Emolga
Time to combo breaker this thread
>>30978804
Same. Assuming the Red Gyarados doesn't count, of course.
>>30978847
Shit taste
got it from the first egg they give you in crystal
I've done Nuzlockes on every game, blnd where possible, and never once found a shiny.
Route 3 I find a shiny cutiefly who I brought with me through the entire run and was the only survivor of Kukuimania.
I was on a bus when this happened
I was a super excited kid. Way back in Crystal.
>>30978842
And my first shiny in the transferable gens. Second time trying to catch a regirock after i knocked him out first time...and it was a shiny.
Continuing the trend of puke green, at least for machoke and machamp
New Mauvile, caught in Sapphire, didnt know about shinies at that time, just realized I had a one in the Diamond era.
yep, still green, although not such a shitty one I guess
>inb4 underage
nope, I just had shitty luck for a long time, I'm at least glad it was before gen 6 when shiny encounter rate skyrocketed.
My first ever shiny was a yellow caterpie in sun. I've played all the games since ruby, and in all those years I've never seen one until release date for sun and moon.
Shiny Skrelp from an afternoon of chain fishing in Y. Felt hollow, immediately pawned it off on GTS for a Xerneas because the games were still fresh.
Then a Shiny Gastly while breeding. Wasn't even Masuda, just trying to get my pentaperfect Gengar, and the first pentaperfect egg was a shiny. Of course this was right on the cusp of Sun and Moon coming out, pentagon pokemon becoming worthless, and Gengar getting knocked down a few pegs.
Then a Shiny Snorunt while masuda breeding. But I was breeding it specifically to trade for something else. I was trying to get a female and got a male, so this is just sitting in my box as a failure.
Then a Shiny Snorunt that was female which I traded for a Diancie.
...Then a Shiny Snorunt in the wild during my first Moon playthrough, female, and timid. Wasn't even SOS chaining.
>>30978883
Implying I bred for it.
I got in platinum in gen 4 so when I evolved it everyone thought it was just the gyarados from lake of rage
This little guy was the first one I ever caught, named herDizzy
Ran into a spinarak a gen before that, but being a stupid child and playing on a gameboy pocket, I had no idea what it was and knocked it out.
This motherfucker
In Ruby.
best panda
>>30979111
Same actually. Even down to the name and gender.
>>30979125
Lmao just realised I didn't even post the shiny version
>>30978789
Many of the shiny skins are attempting to emulate Gameboy palettes.
With mixed success.
I'm glad Shiny Scolipede has rad colors
Was on my way to catch zapdos in fire red when this guy showed up
>>30979067
You're the Snorunt god anon, accept your calling
I was so happy. I went through elite 4 with each evo so I could record each sprite.
>>30979149
Shit idea, shit results
>>30979111 here
While not my first shiny, thought it would be interesting to note the time I hatched two of these fellas 3 eggs apart. Named the maleTitanand the femaleTethyst.
I was discovering EV training when this thing showed up in Platinum.
My favorite pikaclone, too.
I was looking for a clawitzer and found it.
First was Venonat on Leaf green but the motherfucker escaped
Houndour in Gold was the first. My cunt mate tried to clone it with the PC save glitch and fucked my save file. Wasn't happy
>>30978732
I still have the camerupt, about 11 years old now
I fished a shiny poliwag outside Mt. Silver in crystal version, though the save file is long corrupted.
>>30978732
>>30978770
Also my first shiny, but in Crystal.
On my first copy of White. Eventually lost, but earlier this year I bred a perfect one in just under 20 eggs. Feels good man
In Ruby.
As long as we're not counting the shiny Gyarados in GSC.
First ever found in FireRed, sadly dead by a blastoise crit.
>>30978732
Slowpoke in Gold.
...my fucking friend deleted it on his Crystal save.

>>30978732

Seventeen years of playing these shitty games. Ruby. Victory Road.
Immediately bolted. Haven't found one since. My salt will outlast this moral coil.
>>30979524
Your slowpoke would be dead now anyway, anon.
RIP my Gen 2 bros to a dead internal battery. I miss you greatly.
This is discounting the red Gyarados in G/S/C. Caught this fucker in Crystal.
>>30979351
same here anon, that camerupt will always be used no matter how shitty it is in my book
Found it in Silver as a kid. Motherfucker Whirlwinded me.Also, I caught a Shiny A-Meowth and hatched a Shiny Bounsweet just yesterday, both by accident, after a generation-long drought. Both have shit natures and I want to kill myself so hard right now.
I though the game glitched and reset it.
>>30978732
>only one I can remember at least
>it was male
Route 5 in XY.
>>30978732
Diamond: Shiny Fearow. Used as Fly slave
BW2: Shiny Onix. Boxed and forgotten
X: This cute little thing. Sitting in the Bank because its IVs are hot garbage.
>>30978732
I ran from it
>>30979619
>evolves into my favorite pokemon.
>One of the best shinies out there.
I feel you, dog.
>>30978804
Tried posting this exact image to find it was already in here. My man.
Hoothoot 4 lyf
Caught it at ten years old parked at a Burger King. It was on the route just after fuchsia town in Fire Red. Was a glorious day, didnt even know what shines were. Now hes in the bank ready to come over to my Sun. Sadly has Mild nature but im just glad got one. And im glad its not puke green
I am quite a lucky little shit
>>30978804
Same here. That was back when I had no idea how shinies worked so I was afraid to even evolve it
Have shiny odds increased in sun and moon?
I've already found two.
Emerald on an emulator.
My first shiny that I still have was a Paras I got in a FireredMoemonNuzlocke stream I did on /vp/ back in 2011. Actually caught it legit, too, and I have it in Bank due to me buying an EZFlash just to transfer it to a legit game.
>>30978904
Yeah but Machamp actually works with green becauase Hulk
I was pretty fucking mad that this was it.Since then, I've gotten a shiny Sliggoo, Beheeyem and Golbat.
Imported from Diamond.
Any suggestions on what I do with it, because using it in battle to rape fairies would be fun
>>30978732
This lil nigga right here. Not only once but twice in two different runs I've encountered shiny klinks at the same place
Got it in Emerald, evolved it and it was one of my first level 100s. Somehow managed to lose it over the years. I thought I transfered it to my Black but it wasn't on there so who knows. rip
>>30980539
doesn't count
>>30979715
first caught in pearl
>>30981276
first met in sapphire but mistakes happen
This little guy.
I bred for him back in black/white 2.
Since then I've found a shiny in the wild in Y and 3 wild shiny's in sun.
Never had a full odds shiny and never hunted until xy got this in 8 eggs
>>30978893
Same mon
I was home and showed my cousin who didn't care
I MMd one in XY after trading it away like a moron
ruby, 2005
>>30980115
>hornfags will defend this
Glorious mint green fins, hornfags btfo
Got this one in diamond on Christmas a few years back. Almost couldn't tell it was shiny.
This golden butt right here.
I've been playing since Blue and breeding since SS and I didn't even see a wild shiny until I chain fished one up in X. I caught shiny luvdisc on the 12th cast of one chain and then a shiny Clauncher on the 12th cast of another chain and then I didn't see another wild shiny until earlier this year. Ironically the first shiny I ever hatched happened right before I got the shiny charm in X.
>>30979365
This is the only correct answer, everybody else is a child
>>30981495
Gyarados doesn't even count unless it's not the one in GSC/HGSS.
I'm surprised my young self didn't kill it.
Male salandit
>Red Gyarados
>Blatantly illegitimate Charizard and Blastoise from some random guy at an event
>Combee (Male) and Swalot through Wonder Trade
>Mareep in a Horde Battle which I didn't notice until I'd already fled (Fuck you, dynamic camera)
The only one I've ever actually caught on my own that wasn't scripted was a Scatterbug which I found while wandering in Santalune forest, but it didn't even feel good because I knew they'd increased the shiny encounter rate in XY. It just made me feel empty.
>>30981495
Kys.
I have gotten quite a few over the years Gyarados excluded my first was Abra in silver I didn't even know shinies were a thing when this happened and I panicked that it was mega fucking rare and threw my masterball at it incase it teleported, I also got a shiny Goldeen in silver. My next few were Shinx in platinum and both Audino and Lillipup in B/W.
Pretty lucky considering all were wild encounters and I have never used the methods that give you higher chance of shinies im yet to encounter one in Moon though
>>30978732
>tfw never gotten a shiny outside of chain fishing
Ive been playing since red first came out in EU.
>>30981583
Oh, and a Clauncher I got through chain fishing. Forgot about that.
>when they post scripted shiny encounters
>>30978732
>(shiny) drifblim used explosion!

>>30981598

This guy, I only had a single pokeball leftI caught him in the end
found this in firered a long ass time ago in the diglett cave
>>30978842
Same, I'm planning on making a legit shiny Hypno in gen 7 at some point.
>>30981310
why not?
Either way, Shiny Grimer on Sapphire
This li'l dude in X, on route 3
>>30978732
this motherfucker right here appeared out of nowhere in my white and I flipped. It was a good day.
>First time playing Sapphire

And this is how R/S/E became my second favourite favourite Gen.
>>30981993
Damnit, forgot pick.
>>30978816
This guy in diamond. I didn't know what a shiny was, first game was sapphire, and it amazed me.
>>30982063
Gold in Union Cave.
>>30979503
Did you think a Surf from a Blastoise was going to 2HKO a Gastly or some shit?
I don't even remember what I did with it, got it in sapphire when I was a kid and thought my game was fucked up. Not uncommon with all the "cheat code book" based exploits for the games that I tried
Anyone ever tried duplicating pokemon in Crystal version? There was that exploit where you switched them around in the boxes or something and turned the game off in the middle of it saving.
Later on in the game there were these weird ass glitches where my pokemon would turn into a Kingdra named ???

Because MOST shinies are that colour.
Played since Blue was released in Europe, never had a shiny.
Never purposely went hunting/hatching for one, but not to have bumped into a wild one by now is simply bad luck
While looking for a Lapras in BW i went to the grassy area and suddenly this thing pops up
Back in Sapphire, I named it Pringles.
Also have you noticed that most first encountered shinies are either green or yellow?
Found it in the Dragon's den.
>>30982141
God, Rayquaza is basically impossible without a masterball.
>>30982424
My first one was Golbat. Fuck that pink asshole.
From the very first egg they give you in Silver.
Back then I thought every Pokémon born from an egg had a star in the status screen, but nope.
unfortunately my pokemon diamond game got stolen so i'll never see this lil guy again
>>30979365
This in HG/SS
My luck is terrible, and the only other time I've gotten shinies were from WonderTrade.;-;
Mt Coronet, didn't even know what a shiny was at the time.
Ruby, waaay back when.
>>30981495
That thing doesn't count. I remember axing it because it was scripted, and tgerefor worth nothing.
Then later I got a shiny magikarp. Was afraid to evolve it because I was afraid it might lose it's shinyness.
shinies from wonder trade? they were fake weren't they.>>30982614
Too bad it was my first time I saw a Manectric and accidentally killed it when trying to catch it
He's still on my heartgold cart
>>30982681
My balltism is kicking in.
This is perfect for an Ultra Ball.send help
>>30982141
You lucky bastard, I SR'd my Ruby for like a year trying to get a shiny Rayquaza and never saw one. I think one of my GBAs is still sitting around in a drawer with Ruby in it at that exact spot.
>>30982680
I've traded a few thousand legit shinies on WT & GTS. All my gen4 cartridges have tid/sid i rng'dfor the cute charm glitch.
Diamond Version. I actually like this shiny a lot. The blue and green look nice together; luckily it's a nice lime green instead of the putrid green most shinies get.
The first Shiny I ever saw was on my dad's run through Gold's Victory Road, it was a golden Graveler that self destructed. My dad tried soft resetting for it but of course it didn't respawn.
Mine was pic related, I caught in the Sapphire post game and evolved it but then forgot about it and accidentally deleted it when I restarted the game.
This seems like a relevant thread to ask:
Does anyone know if the shininess of an egg is determined at the egg's creation or at the time that the pokemon hatches? I'm considering filling up Isle Avue with eggs and soft resetting for shinies but I feel like I might just be wasting time.
I guess I could do a trial run and see if the natures and stats are different after an SR, I suppose that'd be a good indication that the pokemon's attributes aren't determined until it hatches.
>>30982864
It's determined when you get the egg.
An egg is just a pokemon that looks like an egg. All of its stats, moves, etc are already determined.
This little guy back in Gold.
I had just gotten the Old Rod and I was fishing up a storm in Violet City trying to level something up. I had already caught a normal Poliwag, and the shiny isn't drastically different from the regular one, but I saw those sparkles and had a gut feeling that it was really important. I caught it and used that bro all through the game. Never evolved him past Poliwhirl because I couldn't decide between Poliwrath and Politoed, so he stayed as a gorgeous bright blue tadpole until the battery gave out.
I miss my first shiny.
>>30982864
Eggs are not as random anymore.
fastest way is to make a ditto with destiny knot fuck a magikarp. Save before you deposit.
make 30 eggs and retrieve parents. Then hatch the eggs. If no shiny just save and do itall over again
if you find a shiny you can reset the game and switch parents. The same egg will have a shiny.
>>30982932
If you're that late in the game and you don't have Pokeballs, you honestly deserved it because you're a shit trainer.
In Emerald. Just wanted a milotic, didn't even realize it was shiny until I evolved it.
>>30982519
Not really, he's no harder than any other 3 catch rate Pokemon.
And they made him a lot easier in ORAS for some reason, raising his catch rate to 45.
>>30979156
Aw that's so cool, one of the best shiny out there
>>30982917
>>30982921
Thanks for the answers Anons, looks like you've saved me some time.
>>30978732
Diamond, female shiny.
At first I did not like it but she grew on me, I can't wait to bring her to Sun/Moon now that its good.
>>30982917
Technically true but also kind of wrong. Since the Pokemon still doesn't have an OT/ID because that only gets applied after hatching, the Pokemon isn't designate as shiny until AFTER hatching.
This also means that if you have an egg that will hatch into a shiny and you trade it to someone else, it won't hatch as a shiny, and you can get traded an egg that wasn't shiny only to have it hatch into a shiny.
I was grinding trying to find one in general, and then this little shit appeared. I had no clue that this wasn't bagons original color until I saw my friends.
>>30983359
>Since the Pokemon still doesn't have an OT/ID
It does actually, it just gets changed when it hatches.
You can use pkhex to check if eggs are shiny before they hatch.
>>30978732
First encounter, or first caught?
fuck hoenn
>>30983619
the fuck is wrong with your color palette
I wouldn't have known outside the sparkle. My first caught one was Golbat though.
>>30983513
An egg has an OT/ID to show where it was generated and who by, but an egg is just an egg and cannot be shiny. Only a pokemon can be shiny, which is determined by the hatched OT/ID and not the previous egg OT/ID regardless of it being in the same game or not.
So technically, you are wrong by saying an egg is shiny as it's an indicator of things to come. But you are right in the fact that an egg has an OT/ID.
From Gold. Actually the first I saw was a Geodude that Selfdestructed, but this was the first I caught.
>>30983648
I have no fucking idea i just googled shiny tentacool gen 3 and was done with it. I was actually upset when this thing took my shiny virginity.
>>30978762
My first shiny was a carvanha, but second was a Zubat in Moon. After that, a shiny alolan ratatta and a shiny golbat
>>30983619
One of the best looking shinies
I thought it was a bug and released it cause it was my first mon game in a while
>>30979351
You've transferred it over? I wish I had that level of devotion.
Mt. Coronet in Diamond heading to route 224 just randomly fishing because someone lied to me and said I could get a lapras there.
9 year old me dubbed him Red.
>>30982141
Holy fuck I'm so jealous.
>>30981344
Sir did you by chance name that psyduck?
>>30983619
Same shiny, same gen. Might still be on one of my Gen 4 cartridges, assuming I transferred it over.
This one was weird. It displayed gold colors when I used it in Stadium 2
Nevertheless it was the first and only time I used a Dodrio. Tri Attack and Hyper Beam was too good.
>>30981344
And do you still have it?
>>30982905
iktf
It's still the only shiny I've ever had
>>30978732
Pokemon Crystal. The first free egg you get from the daycare center. I'm still pissed that I some how lost it.
found in XY. first shiny in my many years of playing
>>30984145
There are so many easy ways to get shinies now that it's entirely your fault if you don't have one.
>>30984325

Literally no excuse.
It has innards out and a neutral nature
My first legitimate Shiny was a Foongus on Pokemon X
And I recently hatched a Shiny Alolan Vulpix in Sun
>>30983190
Shiny Pelipper was my first shiny too, in Sapphire.
I found it, thought it was neat and caught it.
Didn't know what a shiny was really, since they didn't really say much about it in GSC.
Erased the file way back then, and I deeply regret it.
Rest in piece, best regional bird.

I played around with the shiny minigame grass shake thing in Platinum, but I never understood that you needed to use repels and didn't care enough to keep trying after a while.
Did get a few shiny zubats over the years. Thing just won't leave me alone. I even got one while playing through the story on Sun without even chaining.

my first ever shiny was a shiny shuppet in sapphire when I was like 10 (it was the first game I ever bought). it was the first shuppet I had ever seen and I didn't know what a shiny was but I wanted it for my pokedex so I caught it and named it Serina. I still have it :) it's evolved into a banette now and lv 100. Aside from this I have like 60 legit wild caught shinies which has pissed my brother off to no end (spanning all gens since GSC) I don't hunt or search for them though I just randomly find them while screwing around in the grass with my itemfinder. I do have a funny story about my second shiny which was a golbat I named Jacki (same save file in sapphire as my shuppet, I was weirdly attached to Hex girl jacki idk why). anyways my bro comes into my room and is screaming about go to the shoal cave because he caught a shiny golbat and that if I hurry up and go search there I might find one. I was really skeptical because I didn't think it would work and as I'm older I knew there had to be some math involved in finding shinies. He keeps yelling so I give in and go search the shoal cave in the ice part like he said and 10 mins in bam shiny goldbat. He was equal parts smug and pissed because it worked but now he only had 1 shiny and I had 2 lol
