Your first shiny. How? when? where?

Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

A Growlithe in HG. Yeah, I've bad luck with shinies like that. Quite a lot of years, I had waited... :p
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first one was a shiny Spinda from emerald but I forgot to save and later on my game crashed.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Glad the two shinies I caught, I saved right after obtaining them.

You guys ever consider putting a Darkrai with dark void up on the first slot in your team? Could help tuning down the danger factor in encountering shinies that can Roar/Whirlwind you away like that. :D
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

I think my first ever Shiny was a Shiny Zubat, I cloned them in Emerald (My game, so please don't give me crap because I cloned them). Evolved into Shiny Golbats (They were cloned not Zubat), now one of them is a Shiny Crobat.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

the first non-red gyarados shiny i found was a shiny wurmple. but it was way in the beginning of emerald, when you don't get pokeballs. boo-hoo.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

shiny gyarados from GSC, then in RSE a shiny Graveler...then in DPPT another shiny graveler in pearl, a shiny Dusclops in Platinum and a shiny Staravia in Diamond
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first shiny pokémon was from gen 2 gold and it was my charizard from blue I used the time chamber thing to migrate him and he became purple he was awsome and I miss him I lost him after my gold version corrupted :(

Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

If you mean the first shiny you ENCOUNTERED, then Geodude in HeartGold for me. >.> Of course, I didn't get to catch it since it used SELF DESTRUCT as soon as I found it. u_u After that, I found a shiny Shinx in Platinum (which fainted due to an unexpected critical hit u_u), a shiny Shellos in Platinum (same file, too!) which fainted due to me not thinking I lowered it's HP enough, and a shiny Bidoof in Platinum (also the same file!!) which I actually managed to capture. F'ing hate Bidoof too... =/ The first shiny I've actually captured was the shiny Gyarados in HeartGold, but it doesn't really count IMO, since it's ALWAYS shiny. >.>
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

Shiny magikarp outside the dragons den in gold. I didn't even care at the time that I already had the red gyarados, I was just pumped that this was a unique, ultra-rare, legit shiny. I named it GOLDKARP.
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first was a Golbat i caught in Ruby.
I like Crobat's Shiny form, but Golbat's just green...
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

I found TWO shines in my only sapphire game. A shiny Sandshew and a shiny Whismer and then both evolved right away. I just love the look of the shiny Sandslash's red spikes on its back.:D

I was about to Pal park them in my Platinum version but the transferring is not working due that the time on my DS has changed X{

Barring the Red Gyarados, none. Been playing since Red, and never found a shiny.

Got Pokérus twice, but shiny, nooo…
 
Re: Your first Shining Pokemon.

My first Shiny ever (and only one other than Red G) was a Starly, but I like staraptor's shiny form. IT DYED ITS HAIR BLUE!BLUE!!
 
The usual, my first shiny was the red Gyarados, but because that is not a rare thing by any means, I, like the majority of the community, do not count it.

My first shiny ever I actually encountered today. I was breeding a Misdreavous to get a male one so that it could breed with my duskull and give it pain split. So, as I'm hatching female after female, I come across a shiny one, and flip out. I've been playing Pokemon for probably 10 years now, and this is my first ever legit, random shiny. I have named her Blair and plan to actually use her in a team, despite the fact that I've never really given Misdreavous/Mismagius a second look as a pokemon.
 
My first shiny was a Hoothoot in the original Pokemon which I trained to a majestic Noctowl and it was a part of my team until the end. I've caught a couple shinies in the past but Noctowl was by far my favourite because Ash had one in the anime as well. lol.
 
Not counting Red Gyarados, my first shiny was a female Medicham near one of the lakes in Pearl. You know, up near that snowy place...

I was going on a trip with the family at the time, so I was smooshed into the car with my brother at the time. I nudged him and turned my DS his way so he could see. I suspect he got jealous, but stayed pretty quiet about it. =3

Very nice. I totally understand the need to show it to someone too lol. I hatched my shiny misdreavous at about 6 in the morning and my roommate (also a pokemaniac) was sleeping on the couch. I shook him awake and showed him the DS :D He wasn't mad, in fact quite excited, but he promptly fell back asleep :D
