The title does imply that funny rule we have about shinies in Nuzlockes, but here's the real question: In any Pokémon game ever, what was the first Shiny Pokémon you ever caught or encountered? Everyone remembers their first. Did you grind for that shiny, or was it by chance? Did you trade for it? For me, it was a Bronzor that I happened upon in the middle of Pokémon Platinum by random chance.
My first shiny was a Camerupt in Pokémon White 2. I was grinding and not paying attention until I heard something different.Voila, black Camerupt, me going apeshit after 10 years of playing and not getting a shiny, and chucking of the Master Ball. End Result: I have a Camerupt named Lulu that is solely used to hatch eggs.
I did get a shiny during my last nuzlocke, I got a shiny koffing! It is trapped in XY for now though since I don't have Pokebank
Me and my sister share our first Shiny: a Shiny Shinx in Pearl. We PokeRader-ed for it, and I'll never forget the time we screamed "SHINY SHINX!" together.
My first shiny was a ponyta in Pearl, though my sister was the one who found it so I'm not sure whether or not it counts. But the first random encounter I found was actually a sandile in one of my Nuzlocke runs of White. My mum heard me screaming from upstairs and she thought I'd hurt myself. But for the first time in ten years of playing Pokémon, I finally encountered my first shiny by myself...
My first shiny would have to be the Spinda that I found while training my Pokémon teams in Y. I just wanted to gain EXP, but I saw a puke-colored Spinda and I'm like, "Okay, this HAS to be a shiny!" So I caught it. And all the other shinies that I caught (only a Wingull and Whismur through hordes) had that same kinda colored green in their shiny forms. And what did I do with it? Keep it in the PC box, used only to basically admire.
Basically what I do with them, aside from my bred shinies. I can use them because I bred the for battle, so to speak.
My first shiny was a trapinch. I wanted a Flygon in my white game so I went into my emerald game to grab a trapinch to send over. I wasn't trying to look for a shiny but the first trapinch I found was shiny. I was like, OMG shiny trapinch now I can have shiny flygon! Now I have a shiny flygon.
The first shiny I got was a Shiny Bidoof in my first Pokémon Diamond game. No kidding. The legend is real
My first was a Taillow I found while 'skygrinding' in ORAS. Skygrinding = encountering the lvl 40-45 'Mons while gliding to evolve Pokémon. I wasn't even paying attention; I was actually watching YouTube. But then, I heard that noise... *sparkle* HEART ATTACK I Slashed with Reshiram and realized I had five-EXACTLY FIVE-REGULAR POKEBALLS in my bag. DOUBLE HEART ATTACK But I caught her. Mysticwing is now a proud member of my grinding team. #MissingNo
My first was a random encounter Shiny Taurus in I think something like the HSS/DPPT era games, I don't remember the specifics of it except that I thought WOW neon yellow and lime green what a random colour choice for it.
My first ever shiny was a Mightyena in Pokémon Emerald while i was trying to find an Absol. I then accidentally fainted it while trying to weaken it.
My first shiny was one I encountered by random chance in the route right outside of New Bark Town in SoulSilver. It was right after I got the Eevee from Bill in Goldenrod, and I decided to go to that beginning route to do some training. I encountered it and sent out my Quilava. I attacked it once, and it had a little more than half hp left. So, I thought nothing bad would happen if I attacked again, right? Nope! It got knocked out with a crit!
A Shiny Zigzagoon in Pokémon Ruby. I got Pokeballs, and caught a Poochyena I believe. Then I caught a Zigzagoon. And then my very next encounter was a shiny Zigzagoon which I promptly named "Bronze!" To this day, I have a fondness for shiny Zigzagoon and Linoone. I thought my friends were just trying to trick me (like they did with a few other things) about shinies existing until I found my own.
The first (and for a long time, only) shiny I've ever encountered was a Sentret that was my first wild encounter in HeartGold, before I had any Pokeballs. Eventually I got a shiny male Nidoran while breeding them to trade for Pokémon I didn't have yet in OmegaRuby.
My first shiny was a Shiny Budew in Diamond. I was randomly walking through Route 204, and low and behold, a Shiny Budew. I immediately attempted to catch it, which I did, but then my game turned off, without me saving after I caught it. I will always miss you, Budew...
Officially, my first shiny was that Red Gyarados you find in the Lake of Rage, but that hardly counts. My first was in Pokémon X, where I was randomly going through the first forest and found a shiny Scatterbug. I was sorta excited, but when I evolved it to Vivillion, I realized only the body was shiny, and I could hardly see it, lol. :,D
Besides the shiny gyarados, my first shiny was a Foongus in X, I was spamming horde battles to finally get myself a shiny xD Ever since then I've suddenly encountered a lot more shinies, the first random one being an Elekid in Alpha Sapphire.
