I remember the first shiny I ever caught.

Oh joy... It's... brown.

Zero has caught some cool shiny Pokemon, though. He gave me a shiny Ralts one time. :3

Speaking of Shinies, I found a shiny Audino a few days ago. Caught it. Woo. Second shiny in this generation for me. First was a Golbat which is now a fabulous pink Crobat.

I caught me one of those with a single Luxury Ball on full HP--the only Pokeball I had on me at the time. I was afraid it was gonna selfdestruct like all the other Geodudes in Mt. Ember do upon encountering them. So I consider it a pretty lucky catch.

Nice one, man.




I actually can't remember my first shiny and I'm too lazy to check any more games than I already did. Anyway, my other shiny is a blue Ponyta in Platinum. I'm not counting any special event shinies, by the way.

Oh yeah, congrats on the catch, Neerb. ;0

I think my first shiny, besides Gyarados, was me not knowing what a shiny was. This may contradict previous posts where I mentioned my shinies, but I just remembered something thanks to Mona.

My first shiny seen, was a Geodude. I remember playing Silver as a kid, I was going through that one cave that leads to the town where you make Pokéballs. I saw a Geodude, it was a different brown, it had an sparkle, I was like "wats this?" and killed it.

I don't remember ever seeing a shiny before knowing what they were. Though, I suppose it's possible that I had encountered one and just didn't notice it was different.

I've caught like two shinies just in the past two years. My second shiny was a bit cooler than just having a brown geodude.

I saw it and was soooooo happy!

There was a green Kakuna that kept popping up on Route 2 on my game of Silver way back when the Gameboy Colour was still relevant. Problem is, it only popped up before I had been given Poke Balls. Luckily, child me wasn't aware of shinies, or I would've been far more frustrated than I was.

Complete pokedex + Masuda Method means I can effectively grind for shinies now.

Shiny eevee + Eeveelutions
Rhypherior
Crobat
Pelliper
Gyarados (Lake of Rage)
Baltoy (pure luck as I was breeding a Claydoll for my living dex and it happened to come out shiny)
Gen 1 starters
Gen 2 starters.

Working on Treecko now when I'm just watching stuff and need something to keep my hands/lower brain functions occupied.

Ok, in Black 2 and White 2, you actually get something for completing the pokedex (sans event legendaries like Mew, Jirachi, etc.). The Shiny charm. that makes it  3x more likely for a shiny to appear at any given time.

Now, starting in I believe Gen 4, Junichi Masuda specifically programmed the Masuda method. Basically, if you breed with a foreign pokemon, your chances of a shiny egg will drastically increase. Example, I breed my usual Eevee with a Japanese Ditto. It's chances of being shiny drastically increase.

If you have the Shiny charm and do the Masuda method, chances of a shiny are 1 in 1012 (8x more likely than the 8,192 in the wild).

I plan on SRing for shiny Latios after completing the dex, as well as MM breed for Eevee too. Not to mention the Round Charm makes more eggs pop out

My first shiny was a Zubat in Emerald. But it's not special because I found a shiny Zubat in HG, then a Golbat in Platinum.
