Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

Shinies I've encountered randomly in order of appearance: Golbat in Cerulean Cave at lv46 on FR, now lv100 Crobat. lv3 HootHoot at the beginning of SS, 2 hours after I got my first shiny Johto starter. Buizel lv10 at Valley Windworks on Pt. Shinx lv3 at Rt. 204 on Pt.
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

I encountered my first ever random shiny just a second ago, a Weedle during the Bug Catching Contest. :D
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

One of the many reasons I regret my Silver Version's save battery dying is because as a result I lost my gold Pidgeot...

In terms of alternate colorations that I still have, I have two that are always shiny (the red Gyarados from Lake of Rage in SS and the distributed Pikachu-colored Pichu), a green Machoke that I found in Sinnoh Victory Road while level grinding to take on the E4, and a copper-ish Magneton that I ran into while exploring in Cerulean Cave in SS searching for items and Mewtwo.

Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

lickitung in diamond and bronzor in diamond. My friend, after playing only like 40 hours on his hg caught a shiny swinub, and it had an attack IV of 31!
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

I have quite a few shinys from chaining, but I have only ran into one randomly, a long time ago.
It was a voltorb in LeafGreen, I was sooo happy. I named it Shinetorb and now I kinda wish I didn't, but w/e. :p
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

i must have the worst luck since i've never encountered a shiny in any of my games. not even in Silver and Crystal and i really played those back then.
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

...do they lose shiny-ness if they evolve?...

nope - it'll stay shiny dude :)



i now carry a poliwrath with the "damp" ability as i would kick myself having a shiny geodude blow up on me!
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

All of the shinys I've found have been in random encounters. My Nidoqueen just outside of the DPPt starting town, rapidash the second day I had Diamond, and Makuhita in the RSE Victory Road. I think I'm forgetting one, though...
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

I encountered my first shiny 2 weeks ago on SS; a shiny golbat. I hated golbats, but Lhime grew on me after I caught her. She is now a shiny crobat :)
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

Pearl: Found a shiny diglett (now dugtrio) and gloom (now vileplume)
Emerald: Found a shiny spinda
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

Shortly after a month of SRing and finally getting my shiny Chikorita, I was walking on Rt. 32 on SS, and a Shiny Mareep appeared. It's funny, because I said to me friend, I want a shiny Mareep in a Heal Ball, and I have enevr found a shiny while I was with a friend, about 30 minutes later, he appeared and I caught him in a Heal Ball. He has a Bold nature, and Loves to Eat. Perfect for Ampharos.
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

In HeartGold, I was surfing to Cianwood, annoyed at the large amount of Tentacools. Then I found one that had green markings! Unfortunately, nobody I know envies me for my beautiful green Tentacool...
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

I encountered a Shiny Gloom while EV training my Shiny Giratina
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

My first shiny was some type of bird in emerald, since i cought multiple shinies. but the chances of see them is like 1 out of every 20 or something like that. which would be good if the chances of seeing the pokemon in the firsts place weren't 1 our of 15 xD

*think think think*

I think it was a Golem maybe instead? w/e

I know that i now have a shiny absol i love and feed every day ^_^
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

i remember i found a shiny voltorb in silver once. it was actually just after i caught the shiny gyarados. i was playing it on a normal game boy so i didnt find out it was shiny until about a month later when i played it on my friends gb color. (yes i was really old school.)
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

Lol out of all the pokemon, the latest shiny pokemon I encountered was a Magikarp, around February when I played Sapphire again. I made sure to evolve it and now I have a red Gyarados in gen 3 hahahh.
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

Edit: 300th post! ^^

I envy your for your random shiny Tentacool. I love shiny Tentacool.

@Ambertwo: I found a shiny HOOTHOOT in SS!
 
Re: Random Shiny Pokemon Encounters

The only shiny I've ever encountered was a Red Gyarados, and NOT the one at Red Lake. I was simply fishing and ran into a wild one. Kinda ticked me off because I already had one... SO I HORN DRILLED IT lol
