The Shiny Encounters Thread

[Accidentalshiny]

I have encountered two shinies in white: Tympole (10 RE's into the game), and if you thought that was an unbeatable record, then behold my shiny Pidove (8 RE's in the game)!!!

Also, yesterday, I went to dragon's den in SS to get my Extreme Speed Dratini, I thought to myself "Clair was envious just bcuz I passed the elder's test, imagine how she would be if he gave me a SHINY EXTREME SPEED DRATINI XD!!!". Ironically, I got it, checked it's summary and... bum, shiny O.O!!! Cool, isn't it? I got a shiny Dratini without even intending to!! Imma show it off as a beatiful green Dragonite to Clair and Lance >:3!!! HE he

My shiny Drifloon is the only shiny that I have encountered as of yet. I've been trying to masuda method a shiny Ponyta and I've been trying to soft reset for a shiny Chimchar starter on Diamond, but I haven't really been putting much effort in. I think that I'll try again because I really want more shinies

Saw a shiny Boldore in Chargestone Cave. Tried to get it to low HP, and Unfezant ended up critting and killing it. The only time I actually don't want it to crit...
Feels bad, man - shiny Boldore looks awesome.

Sorry to hear that

Crits seem to always happen against shinies and having something with False Swipe at hand is just annoying and impractical D:

I Just encountered a shiny crabby at the safari zone.I threw bait but it ran away....

 

[ZuZu-Chan]

Just found my first Shiny ever, even though I've been playing all the games since RBY, so it kinda turned into a big moment for me, haha xD It was an Audino~ :3

 

[ReturnofMCH]

i once encountered a shiny tentacool on my way to cianwood city for the first time in HG/SS

 

[Quetsol Melt]

Let's see besides the Shiny Gyarados in HG/SS. I've had a Shiny Male Sentret in FireRed I met on one of the islands. Then a Shiny Female Dustox in Pearl that I met in the Eterna Forest but I mistakenly released it when I was organizing the PC so I said whatever it took me a year to fix the PC I wasn't going to turn it off and on again and now a Shiny Male Deerling (Autumn Form) in White that I met in Route 6.

 

[The Knights of Wario Land]

Just found a Shiny Herdier

My blog has more details on its capture.

 

[Black★Rock Shooter]

Ah, I remember my first shiny...Magikarp, in Platinum. I was so POed a few months after i evolved it when Hg/Ss came out!

 

[Black★Rock Shooter]

I also got a Shiny Patrat in White

 

[pokemonfan1]

[Team Galactic]

I've only encountered my shiny Nincada in Emerald and shiny Rattata in SoulSilver. I want to find one in Black soon, though.

 

[Missingno. Master]

PokéRadar'd up a Shiny Eevee today! On a chain of 13, ironically enough! It's now a Vaporeon in my Black Version. It's things like these that make me grateful that I didn't let Black City empty out, or I might not have been able to buy the Water Stone! I made sure to teach it Heal Bell before I transferred it as well, because it's not gonna be able to provide Wish support, as Wish is an Egg move.

 

[Zereocross]

Let me see here :dodgy:
In my Diamond, I got a Shiny Wumple and Meditite. I was really disappointed that i didn't get any Gen 4 poke at that time so I didn't EV train then at all. They didn't have the best nature anyway, Meditite had Lax Nature I think...

When it comes to Leafgreen i had a ton of Shiny encounters, dispite I only played it in about 400 hours. I got an Gloom, Tangela, Slugma, Goldeen. To my dismay, about 20 of the Shinies were in the Safari Zone. I remember finding an Exeggcute when I was playing on the toilet... I was bored XD Anyhow, I missclicked on "Run" an almost dropped my GBA down the drain XD

I got some Pokes in my Emerald, some ere AR'ed but they don't count. Once I was in the Battle Pyramid, reaching for Brandon's rematch battle, I found a Shiny Skarmory, and I wasn't even able to catch it, no Balls you know...
The same happened at the Battle Factory and battled a Shiny Meganium... I didn't know that Shiny poke were in the Battle Factory... how odd...

However, hadn't encountered a single Shiny in my Black yet... *sad face*

 

[Alolan Ninetales]

Just moments ago, I found a SHINY MUSHARNA. After 21 soft resets! I was merely doing it for lulz when bam! there she was. One Ultra Ball later, she's now mine.

Her Nickname: Trix. As in Trix Yogurt. XD

I'm at 1056 Snorunt eggs so far, and still going. ;_;

 

[Owain]

Shiny MODEST 30SpA IV's Fucking Venomoth.

BY LUCK.

 

[a0161613]

So I traded my Karrablast for a Shelmet and got an shiny Accelgor. Bit of a result, so a good day.

 

[Parma]

Stumbled upon a shiny Darumaka on Route 4 a couple of days ago while I was training Sandile.

 

[Zeb]

I got my third random shiny the other day, a Shiny Sewaddle, when I was EV training in that forest after the second gym, I can't remember the name.

Seriously, guys want shinies, guys should go EV train.
