I wanted to share my experiences with shiny Pokemon and hear about the experiences of others.

Please do not talk about any hacked Shiny Pokemon you have or those obtained in trades.
I'm sure we all only wish to hear about your reaction to finding a shiny Pokemon in the wild and hopefully, catching it.

My Experiences:
So far in my 7 years of playing Pokemon, I have found 4 shiny Pokemon. 1 in Pearl, 1 in Diamond, 1 in HG, and 1 in SS.
(I have no friends who play Pokemon, so I buy both games every time to compensate)
In Diamond, I found a shiny Graveler on Iron Island. I was with Riley and it used Explosion on the first turn. :mad:
In Pearl, a shiny Skuntank appeared in Route 229 . I threw an Ultra Ball, it failed then Skuntank used Memento. :mad:
In HG, the very first Pokemon I see in the wild is a shiny Sentret. I don't have Pokeballs yet. I cried. :(
In SS, my first time at the Safari Zone on my second encounter. I find a shiny Koffing. I threw a Safari Ball, it failed..... But, the Koffign stuck around and my second Safari Ball captured it. :D

You're lucky, I have found 4 shiny pokémon in my 12 years with pokémon. Two of them in safari-zone. They both ran away.
However I did get a shiny Chikorita as a started and that is probably why I love Chikorita and prefer it over the other starters.
And last but not least -

Of course the shiny red Gyarados, I have seen that one too.

Both of you are lucky... In my 7 years of playing pokemon I've only found one shiny. It was a shiny Tentacool on route 40. I ran out of pokeballs. T_T

I've seen two shiny Pokémon in my life.
Other than the red Gyarados there was only a Starly in Platinum (the first wild Pokémon I ran into during that playthrough).

I got a shiny Shinx in Diamond once. But I was still a noob at Pokemon and didn't understand their rarity, and therefore ended up deleting that file a few weeks later. Eoghan is now out for my blood.

I found a shiny raticate in leaf green once which I lost. Again in leaf green, I found a shiny tentacool, which was funnily enough in a let's play of the game. Hahaha.

I found a shiny Flotazle(not sure how to spell it) in either diamond or platinum in victory road, but ended up getting a crit and killing it.
I found the heart bat Pokemon(I can't remember the 5th gen pokemon names) in the victory road of White where I catch it.

I found only ONE shiny and it was a poochyena. I didn't even know what a shiny was so i thought it was a glitch and I ran away.

I found a shiny Pidgey in Fire Red, that's the only one I've ever found. I caught it then immediately deleted the save file because shiny Pidgeys aren't too cool looking.

Of all my years Since The games started I found one which was a shiny Marril on Pokemon Emerald

I have found three shiny Pokemon, one in each of the main 4th gen games. I found a shiny budew in Eterna Forest the day D/P came out, a Shiny Geodude in Oreburgh Mine, and a Shiny Shinx on Route 202.

Shiny Pokemon OH MY GOD.

I was playing Pearl once. I found a shiny Starly. I ran away from it because I didnt know what a shiny was. Then I looked it up...

I've been playing thousands of hours of Pokemon over the past 9 years, but I STILL haven't even encountered a single shiny! I refuse to accept my Red Gyarados as an accomplishment in terms of shiny Pokemon...

To all the shinies that have escaped us... WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN! :D

In all my years of Pokemon, I have only found one. In Pokemon Emerald after about 50 hours of playing it I found a shiny Tentacool. I had never seen a shiny Pokemon before and did know about them. So I assumed that it was a glitch, but I caught it anyway because it was different (usualy I would just kill a Tentacool because I had like 10 of them). I evolved it to a Tentacruel and raised it to level 70, and beat the Elite Four. I later transferred it to my Dimand, but had to delete my save file due to a glitch that messed up my game. So sadly I no longer have the Pokemon. I also caught the Red Gyarados in HeartGold, but I don't count that one because everyone gets to catch it who plays the game.

I've always been pretty lucky with shinies.

Once in Ruby I found a shiny Zubat in Meteor Falls. The FIRST battle after that I encountered a shiny Golbat. It was really increadible. Later that game I found a shiny Linoone too. In Diamond I found 3 shinies as well, a Meditite and a Pidgey wich I could both catch, and then later a shiny Wingull. I attacked it with a Bug-type move on my Yanmega, but I forgot I had Tinted Lens, so it did increased damage and killed the Wingull. I banged my head into the wall the entire evening...

Um...In a completely legitimate game, I've only run into one shiny Pokemon: A Starly. I lost my breath when I first saw, since it was technically the first shiny (no one cares about seeing Red Gyarados after a few times) I've ever seen and captured. It's now lost forever in a certain someone's lost Pearl game.
I think I saw it in Pokemon Platinum, but if not, it was Pearl.

I once caught a shiny lillipup in pokemon black, but my battery died shortly after. :(

In pokemon emerald i found a shiny poochena but at the time i was so young i was like "what is this?" so i caught it but i stupidly started a new game

I have run into two legitimate shiny Pokemon by myself:
-An Ekans in Heart Gold.
-A Zangoose in Ruby.

I don't have access to either of them anymore, although I have tons of shiny Pokemon that I've gotten from trades.

I've only found one shiny pokemon, and that was a ponyta in Diamond. I actually caught it and now it's an awesome shiny Rapidash.

I just found a shiny Graveler while playing Platinum yesterday, it was pretty cool. I didn't really have a place for it in my team though, so I'll just keep it to trade to another game or something.

I just caught a shiny, adamant marowak on pokemon black! It is definitely staying on my team.

When I was doing an Emerald nuzlocke like last year, I found a shiny Zigzagoon five minutes into the game. No Pokeballs, only my starter and a potion. I have the best luck ever.

Let's see...
My first shiny was... something in Leaf Green. I thought it was a bug and killed it. :>
Then I was fishing for Feebas. Of course, this was information I'd received from a guidebook, so I kept on fishing in the same spot. After about a year, I found a shiny Magikarp. This was cool and all, but then HG/SS were released...
The next shiny I found was when I attempted to LP Ruby about two years ago. It was a Zigzagoon that I found on Route 111, which has awesome music, by the way. I called it "Coolio", or something stupid like that, and can't change it now.
The next shiny I found was a Hypno... in Safari Zone. You know where this is going.
My most recent shiny was a Goldeen in Soul Silver. I found it while EV training my Pickup Slaves. It's Timid...

Whoa, I have looked at this thread 5 or 6 times now and I still haven't replied to it yet! Anyway, I've actually encountered quite the number of shiny Pokemon in my days of adventuring. I can't quite remember, but I know I found a shiny Budew in Diamond, a shiny Paras in Crystal, a shiny Purrloin in Black, and a shiny Audino in White. That's all I can really remember but I know I've found more than that.

Never in my whole life I have found a shiny. I don't think I am ever going to find one too. Also I really don't care that much to find a shiny either. All I care about is to catch strong pokemon. I would react the same if it is a normal pokemon or a shiny pokemon. I just don't see much of a difference between the two. Shiny's are just rare. I see them as a normal pokemon.

In Leafgreen, I found a shiny Abra but it teleported :(
The next encounter was another shiny Abra and I caught it and evolved it :D
In Emerald, I got a shiny Wailord and a shiny Relicanth :)
Also, my Treeko was a shiny :)
In HG, I got a shiny Mareep :D
I also got a shiny Growlithe :)
That was in five years of playing.

I still haven't found a shiny, I've been playing since Sapphire came out. My dad found a shiny Bronzor in Mt. Coronet, I had to tell him it was special because he was about to kill it.

06-28-2012, 03:16 AM
I have only found one shiny in my entire time playing pokemon games and it was a shiny machop but back then I didn't know what a shiny pokemon was so I thought my game broke and I turned off my gba only to find out about shinies 1 week later from a friend when I told him about a wierd looking machop I found *sorry for the length*

For my life experiences,

The only legit shiny I found is Shiny Onix in Pokemon Diamond.

06-30-2012, 05:16 AM
The first shiny I ever saw was in FireRed. It was... a shiny Pidgey. Classic, I know. I didn't know what it was, so I defeated it in the hopes that maybe I would get extra experience. Boy was I mad at myself when I found out what shiny Pokemon were.

I caught a shiny Gloom and a shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby, and I also caught a shiny Weepinbell in HeartGold. Those were happy moments.

I have found 3 shiny Pokemon in my 5 years of playing pokemon. All three were in SS before I had pokeballs. :( At least I think it was three.
I'm wokring on geting a shiny Charmander because shiny Charizard looks extremely epic.

And if you count Pixelmon (Minecraft Mod) I have found 2 shiny Arboks. One on singleplayer and one on a server. I was later banned on that server for no good reason and I have never seen that shiny Arbok again.

I been playing pokemon since Gold. And ever since i have found only 4 shinies. One was in my HG is was a shiny staryu but unforgivably i missclicked and hit it with a thunderbolt instead of a quick attack :mad: i found the other three on my black version, Joltick in chargestone cave which i caught :D. The third was a Golbat caught that too now its a shiny Crobat now the final one was a shiny Landorus. The joy i had when i found it and i tryed so long to catch it and i did. But not noticing my DS's power it died. Im still to this day ive been soft resting for a new one.

I don't see how you people are so lucky! I've only encountered 2 shinies in my 7 years of playing!

The first one was a shiny Sableye in Sapphire but I didn't know what shinies were and I didn't really care because I was looking for an aaron
The second one was in SS when I was walking in grass I found a shiny meowth! So I caught it.

07-04-2012, 04:21 PM
Most alarming thing that ever happened to me: I was putting up lots of Shelmet on the GTS for trade on Black Version (I like getting those world trades in because of the Unity Tower) and someone traded me a Shiny Karrablast for my regular ol' caught-in-Icirrus-two-hours-ago Shelmet. And then it evolved into a shiny Escavalier.

...thank... you...?

Other than that, shiny Minccino and Taillow. And Gyarados.

My first shiny was a shiny Pikachu in viridian forest in FireRed.

A huge kick in the teeth was when I was at feugo iron works in diamond training, I ran into five shiny pichu. I'm dead serious. And I ran from them all. -______-

One of my memories with shinnies is when I was walking from Twinleaf Town to Sandgem Town, because I didn't have a pokemon who knew fly, for some reason. Anyways, being lazy, I didn't use a rebel, and my first encounter was...a shiny bidoof. Also got a shiny meditite, but I don't remember how...

From all the years of playing Pokemon(Started with silver)I have found 5 shinys. 2 in platinum, 2 SS and 1 in Black. Note:Not counting the Red Gyaradose

In Platinum I found a shiny Houdure and I knocked it out:mad:
The second was an Absol when I was on Mt.Corenat and caught it.
In SS I found a shiny Weedle and having no pokeballs at the momente.
The second was Entie and I just paniced and used my masterball.
In black I found a shiny Pawnaird which I caught.

I did get a second chance in White where i found a shiny tympole. I did caught that shiny.

Red Gyarados notwithstanding (you don't usually even get a level up out of fighting it. Sad face.), I've had exactly one Shiny in a year or so of playing. Don't ask me why I was running around in the Pinwheel Forest without a Repel in the aftergame of Pokemon Black, but I ended up running into a Timburr. After squinting at the screen for a while and nearly having a heart attack and staring blankly at the screen for a while longer, I caught it. It's now a Shiny Conkeldurr sitting in a friend's PC somewhere.

Although, given the thousands of Pokemon I've bred for natures last summer and the Masuda method, I'm a little surprised I haven't found another. I shouldn't say that though, seeing as there are so many people who've been playing Pokemon since the days of Gold, Silver and Crystal and haven't even found one.

In my years of playing Pokemon since 2007 I have encountered only 2 shiny Pokemon. One in pearl, and one in HeartGold (not including the red Gyarados).

The first shiny I encountered was a Pachirisu; this was in Pearl at Valley Windworks. I had no knowledge of shiny Pokemon back then but even I knew at that point, when I saw it, that it wasn't a pokemon you would see every day. So I threw an Ultra Ball; worked first time.
This was in HeartGold, now I have full knowledge of shiny Pokemon. It was in Ilex forest and I was training for the second gym and I encountered a shiny Caterpie. With a couple of hits and a Pokeball to boot, it was bagged.

So not much luck encountering shiny Pokemon but I have no trouble catching them.

I have encountered a grand total of two Shiny pokemon (not counting the Red Gyarados). One was a Pelipper I found in Pokemon Sapphire a long time ago. I have hung on to it through the years and traded/migrated it through to my Pokemon White game. The other one was a Roggenrola in Pokemon Black. I caught it early in the game, and decided to keep it off my team. I then forgot about it and deleted the save file after I had run through the game...whoops.

I have found 3. In Emerald, I decided to surf at this random place and boom, found a shiny Marill and captured it.
The next time, in Sapphire, I was randomly killing all the Whismur then all of a sudden, I found a shiny one and caught it
Then when going through Emerald again, while in the Team Magma Secret Hideout, I found a shiny Geodude, but I didn't have any pokeballs so I had to kill it ;_;.

I have found 3 shiny pokemon.

1st one I ever found was when I first played Pokemon Pearl. I beat the game and completed my Pokedex. As I was going to the Resort Area, in the water, I found a Shiny Peliper. I didn't know at that time that shinies were rare, but I caught it anyway.

2nd time was when I was helping my bro on Platinum. He wanted a new pokemon on his team so I went to the sandstorm area after the Resort Area. As I was searching for a pokemon, I found a shiny Cacturne. I told my bro and he told me to catch it since it was his first encounter of a shiny pokemon.

and the last time was in FireRed. I started the game and went ahead and go get Oak's Parcel. On the way back, I encountered a shiny Pidgey. I noticed I didn't have any pokeballs so....I killed him...

I think I once taught myself how to use that thing in Platinum which tells you patches of grass where shinies are located, but that got boring real quickly.

As for random encounters with them, I can never remember when and what ones I saw, though I know I've encountered a few.

Just a day or two ago while playing VoltWhite 2, a Pokemon White 2 Rom hack, I was in Castelia trying to catch an Eevee, and when I got one to appear I was lucky enough to get it Shiny and Female... Which is a big win for me! I now have it as a Shiny Glaceon. <3

Also, you can get a Shiny Dratini in White 2 and a Shiny Gible in Black 2 by talking to Benga in his house after beating him in the Tree Hollow/Tower, and a Shiny Haxorus after doing some Pokedex completion thing. How many people have this?
(I have the Dratini/Dragonite, and get quite a kick out of it, but not Haxorus.)

Of all my 8 of playing pokemon games, I've never encountered one besides the gift ones (shiny Gible, shiny Gyardos, and I'm gonna catch the shiny Haxorus soon).

One of the only and very successful shinies I ever encountered was a shiny jigglypuff I caught in the safari zone

I just caught a a shiny Lanturn in SoulSilver and I'm thankful that it has some kind of purple added to it.

The first one I remember having was a Mienfoo in Black, and it evolved into Mienshao, but now it's gone. I'm sure that I also got some in Platinum, but I can't remember them.

I've only gotten a Shiny once, and that was in SoulSilver, in 2010. I had no knowlage about Pokemon, as this was my first video game ever. I found a shiny Tentacool, but I didn't know what shinies were, so I killed it. Haven't found a shiny since ;_;

You guys are lucky I only found one shiny pokemon and it was a geodude

Why are so many people had a shiny geodude as a first?

Why are so many people had a shiny geodude as a first?

I was wondering why shiny Goldeens are so common, but I guess the only explanation is that they're more common species. Like I said earlier in the thread, I've also found a Magikarp and a Zigzagoon, so that's why.

But, yes, I hear of Geodude an awful lot (and Roggenrola :3).

I've only ran into one shiny Pokemon in my entire life. I borrowed my friend's Pomemon White cartridge so that I can play the game from the beginning. I played everything blind. So I went to one of these aftergame routes (I can't remember which) and the first Pokemon I ran into was a shiny Gligar. I was like, "Is that a shiny Pokemon? It looks like the regular Gligar from Platinum..." But I decided to catch it and later found out that it was a shiny Gligar. Unfortunately, I had to give the cartridge back to my friend and he reseted his game a few months later.

My experience with shiny pokemon isnt that great even through it is luck based into somewhat 8192:1 and is decreased by 3 times when you get the shiny charm in black 2 so here is what i caught in black 2.

A shiny woobat on 18 october and it was only 6 days after the europe relaese so kinda lucky getting a shiny one.

A shiny koffing appeared for me today and i was overjoyed with just seeing a shiny in a while since the last one.

Update 21-06-2013

Okey one shiny on the saturday fine but another today (friday) on pokemon pearl i was shocked because i were training this time as well and the shiny pokemon was a geodude lv 14 captured it of course but choose to transfer it to pokemon black 2 i don´t know if this is counted as trading or so because i did it with my own games.

In my 10 years of playing Pokemon I've only found 2 random shinyies. The first being a shiny pelliper in Pokemon Plt, I found him, and caught him, on my birthday. In FireRed (After catching Pelliper) I found a shiny Nidoran Male (One of my favortie pokemon, and shiny) in the Safari Zone, I caught him, I don't know how, but I did....

I have only ever seen one shiny (excluding the Red Gyarados in G/S/C/Hg/Ss). It was a Nincada in Pokemon Ruby, but because I was using the speed-up button I accidentally ran away from it ;_; I was so ****** off, you don't understand!

SJXJFJSJXXFDJDJDKDKFF I REALIZED I NEVER SAID MY SHINY ENCOUNTERS ( even though I might have told them in chat )

It was in pearl I met my first shiny, it was a uxie, I immediately through a master ball because I knew it was rare
My last was in black, I was training and I found an audino, I caught it but reset my game because it wasn't an important shiny to me

And that's story time with Pokemon73!

:cool:
10-26-2013, 01:53 AM
Geodude, Misdreavous (or whatever the first evolution of that family is), Staravia, a Red Gyrados outside the Lake of Rage, and Dialga,

Ones I caught: Red Gyrados, Geodude

I suck at getting shinies in x/y

i spent 10 hours straight breeding espurrs

Okay, so here's what happened. Davismt, Kamex, and I decided to do a randomizer taglocke of Pokémon Ruby. I decided to be the first person to play, because I was the one randomizing the game. My starter choices were Raichu, Psyduck, and Swalot. I picked Swalot because I've never used it before, and I've encountered more Raichu and Psyduck than a Swalot. I pick the Swalot and use it to save Professor Birch, and throw my Poké Ball. Out comes my Pokémon and I see some sparkles. I literally freaked out for ten minutes. This is the second shiny Pokémon I've ever encountered. Ever. I feel so happy right now.

A while ago, I just hatched a 5 IV MS Shiny dratini, with the correct stat not having the perfect IV.

Too bad that's the only *amazing* shiny I got.

I started playing Pokemon on Cutiepuffle's DS about 5 years ago and I remember finding a shiny Bibarel in the wild but since I was amatuer I didn't catch it, not knowing it was rare. That is my only experience. Also, this one guy used cheats to get every Pokemon in Kanto shiny and put them on his Pearl so that was ALL MINE! AW YEAH!!!!! Whoo. Yay...
