The Shiny Encounters Thread

[Bad Apple]

My very first shiny encounter was only about an hour ago. I was going through Black 2 and I got up to the point where I could catch Terrakion, and as it turns out, it was a shiny. When you're a 12 year old kid who's obsessed with pokemon, finding a pokemon that is both your first shiny and it's legendary, then it's kinda a big deal. Well, to a 12 year old kid.

I found a Shiny Spearow but on an Emulator, typically.

I've found two shiny pokemon. While looking for Pikachu in the Viridian Forest in Leaf Green, I found a shiny Caterpie and caught it. It was the first time I had even seen a shiny pokemon so you could imagine my excitement.

When I was playing Fire Red, while grinding a little before going into the Viridian Forest I came across a Shiny Rattata. I caught it and decided that the forces that be did not want me doing a Nuzlocke run.

My first shiny was a shiny Ekans in FireRed, which I trained up to be an amazing Arbok. Since then, I've consistently been finding a shiny on every FireRed game file since... Spearow, Meowth, Ponyta... I erased them all by accident. D:

I've only ever seen 2 shiny pokemon
the first was a Bidoof in Platinum which my Chimchar decided it would be a good idea to take out in one hit with a critical
the second was a Sandshrew in Heart Gold which unfortunately was forced to be my HM slave because i was doing a solo challenge

My first Shiny encounter using the Pokéradar literally a few minutes ago - caught while typing this post!!!
I'd been chaining Corsola on Route 230 in Platinum all night and just started trying again five minutes ago. I then remembered that I hadn't changed my DS clock, so my DS though it was after midnight and I thought "crap, Corsola won't be swarming any anymore" but I'd already started using the Radar. First up was a Pelipper, killed it, another Pelipper, killed it and then, out of nowhere, sparkling grass!!

I literally had a full body Pokégasm.

I am now the proud owner of a sparkly green-ish male Pelipper nicknamed Abalone <3

Ouch, one reason why I stray away from Pokemon Emulators. xD

To add to my collection, I just recently found a random Shiny Volbeat while looking for a Scyther. I had no energy that day (it was the day of a heatwave in Australia) and I had a raging headache, also that Scyther was being so rude.

It had been my first random encounter on that Diamond file since 2007 when I found a Shiny Skitty. That was five years ago. :o
It really brightened my day, haha. Named it Bluberry, because I recently watched Anchorman.

The next Pokemon I found was Scyther, ofcourse.

My bf and I are trying to complete the Pokedex for White 2. We're so close~ Then, hopefully there will be many surprises when we EV train our teams~ xP

Holy shinx guys just caught a shiny Remoraid in black a few minute ago, i just randomly decided to use the fishing rod and boom purple Remoraid appears !! my first shiny since a Gyarados in diamond which is pretty worthless so this is my proper first shiny :) yay

Cant decide weather to evolve it since it looks pretty in purple which is also one my favourite colours but i also like the yellowish/gold on Octillery so ill decide later on.

My brother found a shiny Sableye in Emerald. That was the first shiny we had seen. But he didn't realize its value and killed it -.-

Then he found a shiny... Graveler, I believe. But it used Selfdestruct and I was PISSED.

Then it was finally my turn when I found a shiny Diglett when I was going back through Silver version! And not long after I found a shiny Rattata in Leafgreen, but decided it was lame.
