Do you have any shiny pokemon from the older games?

Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

Nope. I've never seen or caught one that isn't that obligatory Gyarados.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

Since I suppose HGSS isn't new anymore, I'll say that I have a Golem, a Duskull, and several others.

Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

The one and only wild shiny I encountered was a Zubat in Platinum. My brother restarted the game, and that was that. So...no.

Then again, I've never really set out to find them.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

Apart from a shiny Wingull and shiny Vulpix which I both released, the only shinies I have are Ambipom, Pidgeot (encountered in LeafGreen years ago), and Roserade.
All of them are now in White.
The only shinies I still have in gen IV would be the shiny Gyarados as well as a Muk and Gastrodon given to me.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

I've managed to get Doduo, Scyther, Lickitung, Pichu (event), and Gyarados on my own, then I traded for Bronzong and Floatzel.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

A common Pokemon... Wingull. Mt Pyre. Surfing. Ruby. Shiny! Do the math. I love mah shiny wingull. THeres also the crown beasts, Pika colored Pichu, and Red Gyarados.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

I traded around a lot and acquired a fair amount of shinies, at one point enough to overflow a box in Platinum. I traded almost all of them away, but I have a few really special ones left, my favorite is a shiny Shellder.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

I have two shiny Shinx (chained), a shiny Floatzel (random), a shiny Torchic (soft reseted), a shiny Pichu (event), a shiny Raichu (event again), and a shiny Pidgey (random). There are some shinies that I have lost or just have seen in a battle tower, including Spinda (killed before I knew what shinies were), Beedrill (deleted save file), Floatzel (deleted save file), Wooper (my idiot brother turned off my DS while I was in battle with it), and Elekid (deleted save file)
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

A shiny charmander from the masuda method (her name is Shea and she is now a charizard!)
A random encounter drowzee (Luna and still not evolved into her pedobear form)
A Phanpy by the pokeradar method (Named her lucky...ha)
And finally a random encounter weedle within 45 mins of playing on Leafgreen. (Now a beedrill and named him Nexus!)

I like all these shinies except for drowzee. I loathe drowzees D:
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

I caught a Shiny Golbat in Ruby version. I was training in Victory Road, and ta-daa! A sparkly Golbat appeared. I caught him, but he ended up being trashed in the PC. I really had no use for him...LOL
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

The only shiny pokémon that I have is a nidoqueen. Ironically, I wasn't even looking for a shiny, I was looking for a yanma.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

I just got a leaf green game, I wasn't looking for a shiny, and then, BAM! A shiny Caterpie! I caught it in Viridian Forest at Level 3.
 
Re: Do you have any shiny pokemon?

Am I the only one who doesn't have a shiny Gyarados? Well of course not, but, I would feel lucky to get one, it's not boring!
 
Over my many runs of Gold/Silver/Crystal, I'd gained a shiny Venusaur, Charizard, Eevee (all by hatching), Beedrill, Drowzee (random), and several red Gyarados (of course)
 
There was this one time, I found a shiny Pidgey on Route 2 in FireRed. Ended up ditching my old bird for it. Now, I gave it away...

Then, in Crystal, I randomly found a shiny Metapod during the Bug-Catching contest. Did nothing to boost my score whatsoever, but so what?
 
Been playing for over a decade and I've had only a few...

Silver - Red Gyarados, a shiny Ditto (glitched), and a shiny silver Eevee that later evolved into an Umbreon with blue rings (fathered by the Ditto, lol). Umbreon lives in my Crystal version now.
Leaf Green - Just hatched my first totally unexpected legit shiny today -- a seafoam green Azurill from a Marill that my sister traded to me. She was pissed! (She has a shiny black Zubat in her Sapphire version)
Pearl - a shiny golden Graveler found through the Pokeradar, though I no longer have the game ><
 
Ruby: Shiny Geodude
FireRed: Shiny Paras

Both currently sit in "Pokemon BOX: RS" until I can train them properly.
 
I have a Shiny Audino that I found whilst training.

And a Shiny Skuntank that I got off the GTS.
