Your first shiny. How? when? where?

My first shiny Pokémon was a Psyduck. I found it in the Safari Zone, in my Diamond. I managed to catch it with one Safari Ball
 
This is how it happened...
So my friend owed me some of pokemon. They included a crown raikou, a darkrai, and a shiny charizard. There were a total of six. I was just borrowing his Arceus for the egg though. When I got the charizard it was my first shiny besides the red gyarados.
I never found one in the wild:(. I even have many over one hundred hour games. I think I might have caught one so long ago I don't remember it though.

I was playing my Pearl last year, training my Gible on Route 210-North(Where the fog is), and my first battle there was a lvl 25 female shiny Noctowl. Gible was able to weaken it with 2 Dragon Rages and a single Pokeball caught it.
 
In like pokemon red a tentcool looked goofy and I killed expecting somthing cool to happen I later learned I killed possibly the rarest tentacool ever :-(
 
The first (and only) Shiny I ever encountered in the wild was Machoke in Mt. Coronet. I was trying to find the area to catch Feebas and encountered him randomly. It was pretty sweet :)
 
My first shiny ever was a Natu in the ruins of alph on my silver version. long before the red gyarados.
 
my first shiny was actually a shiny starly(besides the first gyarados because whos wants to post about tht D=) in platinum and my second was on soul silver i keep seeing tencools and then a shiny one came but i couldnt catch it D=
 
Ponyta, i was heading up to the hot springs to heal my pokemon, near the middle of the Ember Road I ran into it, around '08 in September.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Still haven't got one. I mean, I've been playing since Blue, and aside from red Gyarados from Gold and Heart Gold, none have ever shown up.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first shiny ever is the Red Gyarados. Soon after it I ran into my first wild shiny, a Delibird. I ran away from it because I thought that was the normal coloration, since it was my first time seeing one and I didn't know about shiny Pokémon back then. I don't regret it since I wouldn't have been able to transfer it to Gen III anyway.
 
The first shiny I ever saw (excluding the Red Gyarados) was a shiny Sneasel. I encountered it in my Silver version at night at Mt. Silver (outside the cave). Never was able to catch it.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Umm, well I have played Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen over and over again many times and have found not one shiny Pokémon. The first shiny pokémon I ever found was a shiny Diglett in my SoulSilver game. I only found one other shiny pokémon and that was a Sneasel on my Platinum. I don't know, shinies in Gen III don't like me! :D
All it is is pure chance.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

I have horrible luck with shinies. I've only gotten the Red Gyaras from Crystal and SoulSilver. :/
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Not counting Red Gyarados....my shiny Hitmonchan in Crystal. I got it from an egg.

After that was my shiny Ralts in Platinum. It took forever to chain for it...wasnt even female....

And my third was a shiny Marowak that I found in LeafGreens Victory Road.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first-first one was the red Gyarados in Silver, then again in HG and SS. Between them, I managed to catch a shiny Ralts in Diamond which I evolved into a Gallade, then I traded it for a Salamence with Pokerus on this very site...
and I don't regret it one bit! Seriously, that 'Mence has served me well.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

The first shiny I encountered (but didn't catch ;_;) was a Rattata in Silver. The only other shiny I've seen since (which I did catch) was a Hariyama in Sapphire.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

The first Shiny I had was a Poochyena from Emerald... And for some reason, I deleted the game file. DX Then on a later file, I got a Shiny Slugma, deleted that one too.

On Diamond, I came across a shiny Roselia one time, and it was the most beautiful thing... And I didn't have any Poké Balls. I learned a very valuable lesson that day.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first shiny Pokémon was a Lotad, I met it in Sapphire.
I remember, I was like ''Hey, what's up with those colours?''. I didn't know that i existed shiny Pokémon at time, but I got very happy! ^^
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Red Gyarados in Silv-*brick'd*

Shiny Ralts in Pearl; radar'd.
Nonradar, shiny Shinx in Platinum, which I found whilst EV-training a seperate-from-the-above-Ralts shiny Kirlia.
Said Shinx is the only natural shiny I've ever encountered in the wild. Alt colours haet meh (, ,)

Edit; oh, but I recall having an oddly green Feraligatr in Silver, but I didn't know the difference and deleted the file later. So blah.
