The Shiny Encounters Thread

[Pyron]

I've encountered quite a few, never thought I'd even encounter 1 but it happened.

At the start of one game, cant remember which one, I had a run in with a level 2, female, shiny Rattata, it's still in my PC box rotting away lol. Wish it could have been something more useful but still cool nonetheless.

Found a shiny Floatzel in Victory Road in Platinum, never used it but pretty nice.

Through breeding I've gotten more, got a shiny Axew which hatched, still to this day I've never used it since it's not the right nature but just might some day. Got a shiny Sandile through breeding that I used in my main party, still using it, love it.

My brother gave me a shiny level 16 Lotad he found on his Sapphire, it's in my main party, love Ludicolo.

That's about all I can remember for now.

Well, I got my first shiny through the Masuda Method! And the best of all - the right nature and female!
She's a shiny charmander and modest! The gender and nature completely RANDOM since the mother was the wrong nature. Took me 9 boxes to finally get it!
Now I just want to EV train it correctly!

Found a shiny Ekans in HG and a shiny Pawniard in Black, with a bad nature.
Ah well, they'll be nice trophies

 

[Shiny Staraptor]

Wow, I wish I was as lucky as some of the people in this thread. xD The only shiny I've ever gotten is, well... *points to username*
It was a Starly when I got it though.

In my playthrough of Platinum I was training my Prinplup. When I had finished I decided to go to Wake's gym, but forgot there was a rival battle first. I got VERY unlucky in that battle and reset the game, thinking I had saved like I normally do after I heal my pokemon. Turns out I hadn't saved, so I had to retrain my Prinplup. While I was training the 2nd time, I ran into a shiny rhyhorn (though it hasn't been out of the my pc yet)

I have just stumbled across a shiny Graveler on Platinum while training.... Surely enough, it exploded after the first turn...

 

[Horizon]

I just caught a shiny Natu on HeartGold!!! I almost never find shinies, so I wasn't taking any chances. It knew teleport, so there goes my masterball.... worth it I think.

Tentacool: This was found some years back in Sapphire. It is on my copy of Diamond now.
Mankey: A few days ago, I was looking for a Nidoran-M on Route 3 in LeafGreen, but I happened to run into this. It became a member of my in-game team and is currently a Primeape.

 

[Midorikawa]

Excadrill: My first non-pre shiny. I just walked into one of those dirt things in victory road on my white game hoping for a gem, but instead ended up with a pink excadrill. I am now using him for the masuda method trying to breed a shiny drilbur.
Geodude: Found him in dark cave while looking for a dunsparce. The bright gold color surprised me since it was dark and I wasn't using flash.

After paying attention to this thread for a while I decided to create an account for the sake of posting this.
I was playing my Pearl for a break from Black, and decided to see if I could catch a male nidoran in a swarm.

On the way there I had a very pleasant surprise. In my entire 11 years of playing Pokemon, I encountered and captured a level 4 Shiny Shinx, my first shiny.

Congrats. It's a great feeling.

Today I got a shiny ditto using the aptly named "shiny ditto glitch".

I encountered a shiny Litwick last night, but was so used to selecting 'Run' in Celestial Tower that I did so without thinking. I facepalmed rather hard afterwards.

I would absolutely love to find a shiny Dwebble. I love the shiny version of Crustle!

 

[Stumps]

Got a shiny psyduck in pearl. First and only... as of yet.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Just... see my first (and by now, only) blog entry

I usually just Soft-Rest I've already obtained Rayquaza & Torchic. However I haven't done any in a while. I'm still trying on Groudon on Ruby, every now and then. And I've recently randomly encountered a shiny Klink, so that was a bonus.

 

[Mythicalzoe]

I dont waste my time with shinies at all i ran into a shiny taillow ONCE in Emerald and killed it because i thought it was a glitch

 

[RaichuArcanine77]

I have a shiny Rapidash that I caught as a shiny Ponyta on my Diamond version after a short chain of seven. I also caught a shiny Onix on Heartgold, which is now a shiny Steelix. On my black game(which is now lost in my house somewhere) I'm using the Masuda method to get a shiny Swablu. I've hatched about 310 eggs, and no sparkle. I'm currently Soft Resetting to get a shiny Volcarona in Relic Castle.
