Just want to know what others first shinys are.
>>31949265
Meowth in Silver back when I was around 10
>>31949265
Gyarados.
An oddish when I was about 9 years old, killed it obviously, then a gyarados (not silver/gold), then a lycanroc and I'm currently on a chain of about 200 looking for a growlithe.

Shiny Rattata in Crystal's learn to catch Pokemon tutorial
Pic related in gsc, and I now have a shiny toucannon in moon. These are the only ones I've got
Swablu back in Emerald. It was also my first Level 100I lost it;_;
>>31949265
I've had several shinies in ROMs - a Teddiursa would be the first in that case - but this is the only Shiny I've had in an official game.
>31949328
Sorry for your loss
First was a Poochyena before getting Pokeballs in Sapphire
First caught was a Minccino in White.
Not even meeming
this girl right here
Victory road in Ruby, saw what I thought was a black Golbat. Was disappointed when it evolved into a pink Crobat, was hoping it would be black too. Lost the cart ages ago
Was disappointed again years later when I realized it was not black but greenish.
>>31949265
Found pic related while training literally the last level at Victory Road before the E4 in Platinum. Now he's my brobat with the footprint and the battle tower ribbons.
>>31949383
>>31949388
now kiss
Never found one in gold but my fist was a trapinch I found in sapphire. I still have it too.

Because of fucking Hoenn I found two of these motherfuckers. I really wish stupid, younger me hadn't traded the other away because I "already had one."
>>31949383
>>31949388
Also not surprising that this is a very common one. I also recently caught a shiny golbat in ORAS cave of origin.
>>31949383
Funnily enough, Golbat was my 2nd shiny. In the same Silver version as my Meowth. Same guy as >>31949287
Shiny Drowzee In HeartGold, named it maku, it's a grand lv. 100 Hypno in moon!
>>31949394
No, he hates his brobat and I love mine.
>>31949452
To be fair, full odds are higher in XYORAS than in previous games.
Technically Pidgey, but right after I caught it my battery died. But then a few weeks later I ran into a shiny houndour which is one of my top 5 favorite Pokemon so I say it worked out in the end
It was a girl. Named her Annie after my grandma.My brother released her, out off jealousy, while I was at school.
Pidgey, but I've lost it sadly.
Shiny Gastly in Firered.
>>31949545I know that feel, my sister released mine too.
>>31949449
Why did you even post?
>>31949627I feel like we need a support group
>>31949265
Apparently Boldore?
Thing is I didn't even know I had it until I transferred my mons from black to OR.
What's even nuttier is that my sister played a new game on my copy of black and she ALSO caught a shiny boldore.
Ponyta in Platinum, shit was cash but it's gone now
>>31949644
Because it was a legit shiny found on a gameshark. I never had the shiny code on.
>>31949265
Froakie in ORAS. I've been playing since the beginning and with over 2000 hours logged in the main series games it's the only non-scripted shiny I've EVER encountered.
>>31949265
was going for a scyther, I feel I won out here.
>>31949265
First of my own without trades or events: Haxorus
First I actually caught myself without it being a fixed encounter: I think it was a Horsea?
Drowzee in Silver.
Shiny shroomish in sapphire.
I named himHitler.Transfered him to Pearl but apparently i lost my Pearl cartridge a long time ago. RIP my bro.
Never forgetti
Ralts.
They made me a gardfag
>>31949265
Trapinch in Ruby, followed by Vulpix. I didn't know what a shiny was at the time.
first legit shiny was dratini in XY
too bad dragonite looked like shit in shiny colours
Almost 8 years now
>>31950155
I got a random shiny Dragonair in Sun, and I've got the same problem.
I've decided I'm just not gonna evolve it.
>>31949341
Well, it's no longer the only one as I just got a little shiny bird.
>>31949265
Both Shinx and Rotom. I was breeding the for someone and got each in their first batches.
I've played since gen 1 and never encountered a shiny that wasn't at the lake of rage. Found her while I was evolving mons to complete my living dex in moon.
>>31949394are you that one guy from the Pokémon world thread from months ago?
>>31949328
Swablu Line is awesome, shame you lost it D:
;_;7
geodude in platinum
was too low of a level to explode thankfully so i caught it
The first one I ever got was a shiny spoink in gen 6. No shiny charm, nor was I actively searching for shinies.
I Feel like, it stole my first time.
>>31949265
From ruby
Shiny Zubat while playing early around 4 am, Azlea cave heartgold. Took him through past red, into diamond, platinum, soulsilver, black 1/2, white2, y, alpha sapphire, and soon into Sun. Somehow still not level 100 (it's level 97)
>>31949265
I'm obviously excluding the Red Gyarados you can get in gen 2 because as faras I'm concerned it doesn't really count.
>>31949265
Was soft resetting Black for a Snivy with good IVs and got a shiny.
Fearow in Diamond, in that little postgame resort area.
>>31949265
good 'ol Bloo rests peacefully in Leaf Green
Just got this one a few minutes ago, first I've gotten outside of a Pidgeot in a Wonder Trade
The red Gyarados in Gold, followed by a randomly encountered Fomantis in Sun.
Not counting shiny gyrados in soulsilver, I first caught shiny fever in gen six and was MMing for a shiny fletchling when I wasn't paying attention and went into the grass. This little shit popped up, he's in the pokebank now
excluding Gyarados, aCastformin Pearl
Caught it in Chargestone in Black
>>31949265
Koffing in Emerald
Got this dude in White Version as I was leaving the Relic Castle
Just sat around in my PC until I decided to use hime in my playthrough of AS
Aron in Emerald while searching for Nosepass
This majestic sumbitch in Platinum.Lost it because I wanted to restart my Pearl save and forgot to transfer it because I was a dumbshit
>>31949265
Depends on what you consider your "First" shiny.
>First encounter
Golbat
>First recieved
Pichu
>First in the wild
Gyarados
>First legit one in the wild
Yanma
Fire Red Natu
>>31949372
Do you like Sum 41
Has a bad nature but oh well, I love it anyway.
>>31949265
I was in a Shiny Hunting thread showing off my boxes of Flabebes and groaning about my lack of luck in finding a Shiny one. Although I only had 3 boxes so it wasn't THAT bad yet.
Then some guy told me that he had a Shiny Floette that he didn't want and he'd trade it to me for a ditto.
I thought this was a joke at first but I added his FC anyway and lo and behold he did have one and he actually traded it to me! It was even the yellow one which I wanted!
I don't remember who that guy was so this also doubles as a shoutout to that guy. If you are in this thread by chance I want to say thank you and assure you she is now a Florges who is a permanent member of my team.
>>31949265
Shinx back in D/P when it came out
>2007 was 10 years ago
Fuk
>>31949265
First ever shiny encounter: Rattata (Either Gold or Silver version, don't remember exactly). Accidentally KO(stupid crit).
Gen 3 - Shiny Sentret via breeding(Don't have this one anymore)
Gen 4 - Shiny Caterpie(with a Timid nature to boot), now a shiny Butterfree who has been hyper trained.
Gen 5 - Never gotten any shinies in gen 5(and I've played through it 5 times).
Gen 6 - Shiny Roselia(Hasty nature), now a shiny Roserade, hyper trained of course.
Gen 7 - Shiny Cottonee, kind of negated by the fact that I got four shinies of it in gen 6.
>>31951830
Probably my favorite shiny. The regular colors are nice but the white bark with autumn leaves just looks nice and fits them.
>>31949265
Caught my lil'buddy in Gold and named him Lucky. The battery died and unfortunately Lucky went with it. ;_; RIP
>>31952161
agreed, I caught mine in a premier ball too it's very pretty

>>31952928
Gosh, i hate green shinys
A Drowzee back in Silver. I was a dumb kid, and thought weird colors were supposed to be exclusive to Gyarados. Thought my game was glitched, so I ran.
Then there was a Slugma in Mt. Stark on Diamond, but I was paired up with that fag Bucky and wasn't able to stop him from killing it.
The first shiny I actually caught was a Spearow in SS, while I was taking a shit. True story.
>>31949265

burned tower in gold
>>31949265
Got a shiny female Eevee from Bill on HGSS.
>>31953155
What are the odds of this happening?
Shiny Zubat in ruby. I swear to god that it was actually a black Zubat, but It was before the GBA had a backlight so I'm not sure anymore
>>31949383
>>31949388
same but Zubat
A shiny Numel in Emerald. My first was technically a Xatu in ORAS but I like to think this was the first real one because the odds are higher and I went out of my way to find this one, after 1,600 random encounters.
Shiny Fug in Emerald
>>31949265
A Tentacool in Pokemon Crystal while fishing.
>>31949265
>>31953570
If you exclude the red Gyarados from lake of rage that is.
kill me
>>31949265
First found: Croagunk in Pearl
First actually caught: Durant in Y
Most recent: Electrike in Emerald
>>31952693
Mine was in Gold (badum tss)
I randomly headbutted a tree and suddenly Shiny
Shiny Machop in Leaf Green
>>31952974
>get into wild double battles with Marley
>not using repels of course
>suddenly run into shiny Floatzel
>risk it and switch out my pokémon into something that can oneshot hers
>she actually went and used Helping Hand to help me knock it out
Felt amazing man. Now that Floatzel is also my bro with the battle tower ribbon.
>>31949265
Koffing in Fire Red but I didn't catch it, first caught was a Golbat in Emerald
Shiny Caterpie in Crystal during the Bug Catching Contest. Stupid kid me brought Quilava and one-shot it, though...
Hatched her in FireRed 11 years ago and has been with me since then.
>>31949383
>>31949388
Same, found him in Cave of Origin in Emerald
>>31954203
>Noire
>White
What did he mean by this?
this guy. stuck in pokemon ranch right now but im hoping to bust him out someday.
I got it fair and square in ORAS, honest.
Either yanma in leafgreen or magcargo in pearl, they happened around the same time in my life
>>31949265
Male eevee
Shiny Gastly in Fire Red, now a Gengar.
Too bad that Gengar hardly changes, it's one of my favorite Ghost-types.
>>31949265
The Red Gyarados was legitimately my first shiny. I have gotten more from then on tho
I decided to take the walking route rather than take the bike path because I thought it would increase my shiny odds.
It was holding a peecha berry, a 5% chance.
I still haven't transferred her.
Found pic related on Fire Red, showed to my brother's friend, he convinced me to trade it for a (normal) Nidoking.
>>31955112 here
Leaf Green*, sorry bb
>>31949265
My first was a Buneary in Platinum. Had to have been 12 at the time. I did not know what a shiny was, and I was new to the breeding feature, so it was a surprise for me. I grew up reading encyclopedias and animal books and stuff, so for my dumbass preteen brain, I just figured all the breeding was finally making progress. I still have that buneary.
Trust me it's shiny
It was a clefairy in the giant chasm in Black 2. I've since lost it, but I'm actually trying to reclaim it now.
>>31949265
Gen 2:
>Was helping a friend get from Olivine to Cianwood in his Gold when I encountered a shiny Tentaruel. Hit it with his Butterfree's Confusion to weaken it, but it got confused. Broke out of every ball before killing itself
>Later I found a shiny Nidorina in my own game. Caught it, and evolved it right away because I was a dumb child.
Gen 3:
>My brother found a shiny Zubat in his Fire Red and used it in his journey. About a week later I found a shiny Mightyena in Emerald and caught it. Three days after that I caught a shiny Voltorb, but lost it during a botched cloning attempt.
Gen 4:
>Nothing
Gen 5:
>Nothing
Gen 6:
>Found a shiny Solosis in a cave on my way to the 3rd gym. Caught that fucker in a Luxury Ball, immediately swapped him into my party. Became my best bro for the rest of the game and postgame. Found out later it had solid IVs in addition to its excellent Sassy nature. Can hardly wait to bring him into Sun and use a Gold bottle cap on him.
>Was breeding for a Marvel Scale Dratini, a shiny popped out while I was still getting good IVs. Tried him out anyway, he was shit. Turned out his Atk IV was 4. Boxed.
>Was breeding Scyther and had just swapped out the 3IV mother for a 4IV one, and on the third egg a 5IV Scyther popped out. Wrong ability, but a kind soul gave me an Ability Capsule. So I had a pentaperfect shiny, he became my pride and joy.
>Was breeding Darumaka. Same story as above, but I got it on the first egg after the parent swap and it had 4 perfect IVs, but HP was 30 so very nearly pentaperfect. Also a bro.
>Found shiny Psyduck and Wingull while horde EV training, caught both but boxed forever.
Gen 7:
>Ran into a shiny Poliwag while training, but it used Rain Dance which made my NVE Bubble from Araquanid stronger than expected, basically killing itself.
>Was breeding Gibles and got a shiny before I'd gotten a 4IV parent. Came out with 4IVs, missing speed and SpDef. Hyper trained her, she's been fucking awesome.
Carvanha was my first shiny. I caught it because I thought it was a bug in the game so I caught it to see what would happend. Ends out it was meant to be that way. Caught 2 other shiny carvanhas after that all named first. :)
>>31951894
Doesn't count unless you found it yourself. My first was a remoraid in oras, I've evolved it now and caught heaps more.
