Let's talk about our Shiny Pokemans.
I've got a shiny female Primeape that I caught in Diamond/Pearl.
The only shiny I have is a Spinda...Stupid Spinda...
Caught a shiny Roselia once while looking for, oh I think it was Eevee in the trophy garden.Lost my Pearl game though, so I don't have it anymore ):
Got stupidly lucky and got a shiny Mewtwo in LG.
I had my big gay purple Wailord in Sapphire, it was pretty neat.Currently, I have a shiny Scyther in SoulSilver. :D
I've been playing since Crystal and have never once seen a shiny Pokemon. I actually thought they were a myth for quite a long time.
I have a shiny Mime Jr.
>>5777But... Red Gyarados..?
>>5785Well yeah, but in what sense is he worth mentioning?
>>5785Oh wait I know what you're asking nevermind. I thought it was just a one of a kind thing.
Once had a Shiny Zubat in my original copy of Silver. Figures it'd happen to the most lame and common Pokemon ever.
I found three Shiny Torkoal in Ruby. In a row. My found found and caught five. In a row Is there something I'm missing?
I found a Shiny Rattata in Gold looking for... maybe Raikou? I was playing on the Game Boy, so I almost didn't know. Good thing for the sparkling animation.A Ponyta in Diamond.and then a Machoke, Starly and Budew.Suddenly so many. Also I started chaining a bunch.
Had a shiny Pachirisu in Pearl, came across an Onix in SoulSilver. I think I traded the Pachirisu away on the GTS for something else I wanted, but I can't remember.>>5772That's about the time I say "fuck it" and actually waste the Master Ball on it.
>>5826 Wouldn't you use the Master Ball for Mewtwo anyways?It's freaking MEWTWO.
and I will KILL for a shiny Duskull.I would name him Shyguy and everything.Polite sage.
My first shiny was a Volbeat. It had Double Team, Moonlight, and Confuse Ray, so it would keep confusing and double teaming until you actually got a hit in, then it would heal up. I used more words from my father's vocabulary than I had in my entire life. Jazz gave me a shiny Eevee and I gave it to my girlfriend. :3
Found a shiny Drowzee and Geodude one playthrough of Gold.Found a shiny Spearow in Emerald, but I was using cheat codes to make Spearow appear, so I doubt anyone would've believed I didn't cheat to get it.While doubling with someone at the Battle Tower in Diamond, a shiny Hitmonlee appeared. That was all kinds of unfair.In Platinum, my brother traded me a shiny Yanma for...something. I forget what. I just have a shiny Yanma now.
I found a shiny Houndour in Platinum, and a Shiny Rapidash in Soul Silver.
I've never encountered a non-FixedEncounterRedGyarados shiny in my own games. The only ones I have are a Blissey and Metagross I got via the GTS...
>>5838>Shiny MetagrossYou lucky son of a bitch.
The only shiny I own and have ever owned is a Geodude named Nugget and he's fooken gold and I love him.I saw a shiny Seaking in the Safari Zone but it ran away. Also the first shiny I ever saw was a Zubat in Gold, I had no idea what it was and thought it was a glitch so I reset the game.I get pissed at my anime club because most of them have this Pokesave thing and they just keep making shinies for themselves. They are not worthy.
While waiting in my doctor's office for an annual check-up, I caught a shiny Fearow in my grinding territories outside Stark Mountain. Adamant and carrying a Sharp Beak, he was essentially the grand paragon of what all Fearows aspire to... truly amazing and the only natural shiny I've ever encountered. Minutes later he was resting inside an Ultra Ball being christened "Dr. Fury".It's a shame Fearows suck, though.
I ran into a shiny Graveler once.It exploded first turn.
I ran into a Graveler once.It exploded in the first turn.It wasn´t shiny.I was playing Nuzlocke.I lost my bro Feraligatr.
On the GBC Gold version, I had a black Charmander that I raised to Charizard. Someone traded it to me at Pokemon League at the LCS way back in the day.
Never gotten a shiny, aside from the red Gyarados.I want a banana Lickitung. ;_;
a fucking shiny goldeendo you know whats the difference? its slightly more yellow than a normal goldeen. and it's not even a good nature, not that i'd ever use a goldeen anyway
>Finally found my first shiny>it's a luvdisc
METAGROSS IS BEST SHINY
I've got 2 instances of shiny pokemon in Silver back when i had it. Back then I was probably the dumbest kid to play pokemon. I was wandering around route 30 and I came accross a shiny ledyba. Back then I was thought it was just a waste of my time and just hit flee not knowing that these things were ultra rare to find under normal circumstances. So a couple of months later while surfing vermillion city around the gym area I came accross a shiny tentacool. Did I wise up and try to catch this differently colored critter? Not a chance, hit flee and was done with it. I let my level 100 feraligatr get to my ego and the lack of knowledge towards shiny pokemon. Didn't let that happen when I caught a shiny meditite in Diamond.
My first shiny was a shiny Bibarel I got on my birthday. I loled so hard. I also happen to have a shiny Sneasel I caught on my nephew's game and he gave it to me since I caught it which is great because he's LOST his game. Then there's my shiny Flygon Halp and shiny Bayleaf Banana someone gave me.
Almost got'em stories? Sure.Pokemon Diamond safari zone. I'm looking for a Whooper, the most adorable pokemon ever, then a shiny Marril pops out. It ran away without even going for pokefood.I cought a shiny beldum the next day though :)
I HAVE NEVER FOUND A SHINY ANYTHING (cept red gyrados) IN ANY GENERATION.
>>5938Fight more Pokémon.Aim for a high score!
>>5938 Neither have I. I think I spotted a shiny Doduo once, but I'm probably just imagining that encounter.
In Gold, I found a shiny Pineco while headbutting trees. You might think it selfdestructed, but it actually didn't. Too bad you can't transfer out of those games and that the battery is probably dead now, golden Forretress was pretty boss.Years later, after skipping RSE, I found a shiny Starly about an hour into Diamond. You might think I knocked it out, but I actually caught it. It was brave, too. It ended up jammed in a box in case I started battling online so it wouldn't be tainted with shitty EVs. Other than that, my Red Gyarados was jolly on the first catch. Does that always happen?
It is a fact:There are more red Gyarados´ in the world than the normal blue ones.
>>5841It's hacked, mind you (its date of origin is Jan. 0, 2000). Still cool though.
The only shiny I've ever encountered was a Shellos and I had no idea what the sparkles meant and just killed it because you can't tell the difference between the shiny and the non shiny version of that thing.
>>5985Weird.I was playing Gold in Black and White so there was literally no difference but the sparkles, but I still assumed they indicated something worth catching.
My friend just texted me today saying she caught a shiny female Machop and asked me what to name it. I told her to name it "SEXY BITCH". She hasn't responded.
>>5872>>5882At least you didn't spend ten minutes whittling it's health down to a sliver before it selfdestructed and killed you lead.
>>5827No, I wear it's health and defense down after putting it to sleep and use an Ultra Ball (or in HGSS, Dark Ball).
I've got a gold Rattata and a blue Gulpin. I never use either one.
Anonex has a shiny Sharpedo named Crash and it knows Slash, Skull Bash, Night Slash, and Thrash. He posted a pic of it and its stats but I didn't save it and I have no clue where on this board it is.
>>6068I'm pretty sure he created that to distribute as a Team Missile event Pokemon.
I have a shiny Crobat, Sandslash, Furret, Umbreon and two Gyarados. Fuck yeah always finding shinies~I also have a shiny Togekiss and Raichu, but I got them through trades so they probably don't count.
The only shiny I ever caught was a Sneasel from Pearl.Of all the shinies I could've gotten, it had to be the one that was PINK and YELLOW. On what is normally black and red/pink.My poor eyes.
I have never encountered or caught any shinies besides the red Gyarados. But like >>5952 says...
You know, I kind of wish they'd come out with new, more common alternate colorations...Like keep the shinies and their extreme rarity but have a third set of coloration for Pokemon that is more common...
My first shiny was an Unown. Hoo-freakin-ray.
>>6171But what letter is it?
>>6168Like with Shellos area differences, or like Hippowdon and gender differences?
First shiny was a girl geodude in Crystal.Since then I've only found a shiny tentacool and koffing.
>>6177Yeah, exactly. Get a little more variety going on among same-species pokemon.
In Ruby, I found a shiny Spinda, shiny Zangoose and a shiny Gloom which is now a Bellosom. Less than A week ago in Pearl, I found a shiny Burmy which is now a Mothim.Pic related, my pretty pretty blue Mothim~ Planning on doing a group pic of all four of them.
I can't believe it, I've run into a shiny TWICE in SoulSilver, and something that's not totally useless either! I love my luck <3Oh, his name is Gauss now though.
The only shiny I have is Zubat which everyone seems to have.
>>6413Gee, I wonder why?
>Find a shiny onix in mt. Silver>Catch it>relaxed nature
This Raichu, as a Pichu in Diamond, is the only shiny I found by chance in Gens 3 and 4 (and, likely, V). She has a Jolly nature, and I eventually started using her in Cute Contests.The rest, setting aside Red Gyarados, were from events (Linoone, Shiny Pichu that activates the Spiky-Ear Pichu), or from bros (Infernape, Bibarel). I also got a shiny Igglybuff from the Odd Egg in Crystal version.
>>6168I've brought up the idea of Albino Pokemon multiple times on /v/. They said the idea is dildos.>>6196>Magnemite>likes to runwat
I caught two shiny Poochyenas in Emerald (one male and one female) and spotted a shiny Absol but it ran away before I could get it.
When I got my original egg from Riley in Diamond, I put it in the box since I already had a Riolu off wifi. Almost two months later I decided to randomly hat it and the Riolu that hatched from it?Yellow. Naughty nature.It's still level 1 sitting in my box. I've never even touched it
I had a shiny Espeon once in my Silver game. I got it from some Asian kid at the store formerly known as the Pokemon Center, which probably means the thing was a complete hack but at the tender age of 12 I did not give one shit. It was awesome and fuck you gamefreak for not letting me keep it. :C
Caught two shinies in my (unfinished) Platinum game. Awesome Geodude which was mutha fucken GOLD so I named him King Midas. GOLDEN TOUCH BITCHES. But then he evolved and turned into a diarrhea brown so I think I renamed him to Living Shit or something.Also, caught a shiny female Budew and was like HHHHHHNNNNNNNHHHGFUCK YES because purple and black roses when evolved and I'm such a homo for that colour scheme.
Never encountered a shiny other than red Gyarados. Feels bad man.
My first caught Shiny was, of course, the Gyarados in GS. But other than that I've seen a very limited amount of Shinies.Other than that, I got a Shiny Unown in Ruby. People like to laugh about how useless a shiny Zubat is:, but let me tell you: NOTHING can compare to the uselessness that is a Shiny Unown (letter Z). My third shiny encountered was in Diamond and was, again, an Unown. But I was talking to someone at the time, so I only saw it for a split second as I glanced down and saw it faint (letter E).Then a few months back in Platinum I encountered a shiny Chatot, kind of a crappy color scheme, but holy shit shiny sort of took over. Got it down to what was pretty obviously 1 hp, and kept putting it to sleep. I went through no less than 15 Ultraballs, 5 Dusk balls, 10 Great balls, and a metric shit ton of other balls. We're talking I seriously used, like, 50 fucking balls on this thing with 1 hp that was asleep and it didn't catch. I finally sucked it up and threw my Master ball. A few days later I found a shiny Mareep and gave it to my girlfriend as an early birthday present.
>>6735True story: Not wanting to bitch out and use my Master Ball on Mewtwo I went through all 99 of my Ultras and my 30 Greats and was just down to some regular Pokeballs. For the hell of it I started to use them. I caught Mewtwo in the first Pokeball I threw at it.Game mechanics man. Fuck 'em.
I had a shiny shinx in Platinum.Named her Marisa.Gone forever due to my game being stolen.
I had a shiny Ursaring in Crystal, and I have a shiny Vileplume in HG.
