What was the first Shiny you ever encountered?

My first shiny was a shinx! I feel kinda lucky because this was only my second Pokémon game lol( diamond). I don't really like the color scheme for shiny Shinx, but luxray is one of my favorite Pokémon, so it stayed with me the whole game!

 

I came across a shiny plusle once, except I had only my high level Pokémon & it wouldn't catch in the 3 pokeballs I had left. The sadness.

 

The first shiny Pokémon I ever encountered was a Cottonee in Black 2 (I think it was Black 2 it might have been Black) I didn't encounter another shiny until Pokémon Y where I found a Chansey in the friend safari followed by a Masuda Method Ralts.

 

I got lucky, I recently got my first shiny in Omega Ruby which was a Horsea didn't notice until it evolved and I thought the back of it looked weird lol, I went into shock for a few minutes before tearing up

 

nOne I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ONE

Never have I ever gotten Into a shiny wild encounter and I'm so alone hmhfnfergthyuj

 

Don't give up hope, the chances of finding one are much higher in the Gen 6 games than in earlier Gens.

 

My first shiny was a Geodude in Fire Red. I was tediously going through Mount Moon when I found a golden muscle rock. Good times.

 

Not counting the shiny Gyarados, I think it was a Seaking from the Firered Safari Zone. I was feeling lazy about training a Dratini to complete my Pokédex so I was fishing for Dragonairs when it popped. I was awestruck and even happier when I caught it. Which reminds me that I need to import it.

 

I recall the first shiny I encountered simply by chance was a Wingull in Diamond. It was really unfortunate tho cause I had no pokeballs on hand to catch it ;-;

Years later I did chain fish for a shiny Horsea (if that counts?) but that one got lost thanks to my game being stolen </3

I have terrible luck with shinies ;-;

 

Surskit, I don't remember if I caught it tho.

 

Shiny Poliwag in Crystal when I was really young. Pretty sure I killed it.

 

My first shiny was a Slugma on Fire Red, in the Sevii Islands (however it's spelled).

I was in second grade.

I saw it was gray.

I threw a few Pokeballs.

When none worked?

I ran. I thought my game was broken. It was a sobering experience that made me mature at a much faster rate than I should have...

 

I believe my first shiny was a shiny pelliper in Pokémon Pearl, but I think I killed it.

My first real shiny was a shiny caterpie in hg/ss in which is now a shiny butterfree~

 

My first shiny was a Spinda in my first play through of Ruby!
I had heard about shinies from a friend at school way back than- but seeing how unlucky I tended to be, I never really tried looking for any of the sparkling cuties, until it just randomly appeared when I was running around trying to grind some levels! I was so happy that I was nearly crying while trying to catch the thing. Eventually it did stick in the Pokéball, and I had some major bragging rights in my little group of friends, being the first to get a shiny and all.

 

My first non-event shiny Pokémon was a Gastly in LeafGreen. Since Gengar is one of my favorite Pokémon and since shiny Gastly looks great, I immediately freaked out and caught it. I still have it somewhere, but unfortunately shiny Gengar is significantly less fabulous than shiny Gastly.

 

For me, it was Tentacool. The thing is, I was playing Pokémon Gold, and I was at the cave where Lapras can be found on a certain day. I didn't know that, so when I entered the place where Lapras swim, I immediately surfed to get to the Lapras, fearing that it would somehow disappear if I wait. Right before I was able to approach Lapras, I encountered a shiny Tentacool. I was so confused, but I caught it and then thanked that Lapras was still there. Happy times :]

 

Kricketot was my first but that save file in heartgold got corrupt so I lost it

 

It's actually kind of an interesting story. I think so, at least.

So, I was in the Ice Path, all the way back in the original Silver. Was dandering along, probably wasting time or something, suddenly I get into an encounter with a Swinub that's a wierd colour, that used this odd move with a glinting animation all around it as soon as it came out onto the field. I was confused and engaged with it and wound up defeating it (or maybe I ended up running away, but I remember going through a turn or two). I encountered a few more Swinub, but none would use that move and none were purple/pink like the original, so I shrugged it off.

Then my brother mentions shinies a few weeks or days later, I remember the oddly coloured Swinub I encountered and realised that must have been what it was. He didn't believe me at first, but I assured him I was telling the truth.

It's strange though that I didn't connect that it was a shiny Pokémon, considering I must have encountered the red Gyarados by that time, but who knows. I was pretty young.

I think the first one I ever caught was a Rattata below Goldenrod in Silver. Of course, I don't count the Gyarados at the Lake of Rage. It's long gone now since I couldn't have sent anything up to current games from the second generation.

 

Mine was a male Nidorian from SoulSilver. I named him Mr. Man. I think I still have him.
