Your first shiny. How? when? where?

i honestly couldnt remember if i had ever gotten a shiny when i saw this thread i almost posted that i never got one besides gyarados. but i was looking in my white version box today looking to see which of my stored pokemon had pokerus and i found a lvl 6 jolly shiny weedle which i think i cought in heartgold

wonder if i should leave it untouched or EV train it, shiny beedrill looks pretty awsome green and black. its a shame hes so weak tho.

Not counting Gyarados... Natu. Ya. A friggin Natu. Who wants a Natu? I don't.

My friend found a Shiny Graveler that then used self-destruct. His first caught was a Shiny Trubbish...

I had found a Shiny Ralts in my Diamond game, which I caught but then lost when I ran to a pokecenter, deposited in a box, then turned off my game mid-save. The first one I caught was a Shiny Deino in White. I almost fell of my bed when I found it. I may try to breed for a Shiny Ralts to make up for the one I lost.

Koffing in Team Rocket's Mahogany Town HQ. Sad that I had to wait about 10 years for it. (I got it in SoulSilver)

My first shiny was the red Gyarados, but then in fire red i bumped into a shiny Pidgey and missed out on catching it, then in soul silver i caught a purple drowzee right near the daycare and evolves it into a Hypno. My last and most recent Pokemon in my Japanese Pokemon black 2 caught a shiny Metang using my master ball and evolved that into a Metagross

Well, techinally, like a lot of people here, my first was the Red Gyarados in Gold. But, if I was to go on my first completely natural, non-scripted shiny encounter, I would say it was a Shiny Pinsir in Pokemon Pearl.

Aside from the Gyarados everyone caught, My Shiny was a Shinx in Pokemon pearl, found the day i bought the game, Named it Sparks, its still remains in my team today as a Luxray

My first shiny was a Spinarak in Crystal. I was eight and did not know better so I used a Master Ball.

I've played Pokemon for as long as I can remember and I had never (excluding the Gyrados) run into any Shiny Pokemon until this year, when, on a flight back from Lanzarote, I was level-grinding on SoulSilver and ran into a Shiny Ursaring! It's pretty hard to miss seeing as it's Green! It's the only wild shiny I've ever encountered and I'll probably trade it for a cloned rare legendary (Mew, Celebi etc) at some point.

First wild shiny encountered: Hariyama in Ruby. The bugger used Whirlwind before I could catch it.
First wild shiny caught: Rattata in SoulSilver. Top percentage achieved.

Prior to that one, though, I had successfully chained some shiny Skitty in Diamond.

I can't remember which was my first but I tend to be luckier with shinies than most people. Here are the ones I've caught

Floatzle:Caught in victory road in diamond, i was with marley so i was scared she would kill it but i got it in time.

Geodude:Victory road in leafgreen, I had actually gone back in to train before the elite four, i was pissed too because I let a marowak get away but then it popped up and that feeling went away

Kyurem:Giant chasm in black, zero soft resetting, I almost had a heart attack when it showed up.

And of course that red gyrados nearly everyone else has so it's pretty much as rare as any other gyrados

Other than the Gyarados I had a shiny Koffing in Silver that I found in Team Rocket's HQ, next was a Tentacool in Ruby while surfing then a Mareep in SoulSilver on the route below Violet City, so far none in Gen V.

Route in Gen 3 with the daycare on it

good thing I was young and stupid so i caught it in a cheated masterball :I
Next Shine wasn't until White when i got a slightly lighter yellow Emolga, I may not like it but i still wish I hadn't traded it to my friend
then a shiny Yanma in HG/SS a couple months ago

Other than the red gyrados, my first shiny was in gold. A pink wooper popped out of nowhere. I thought it was a glitch or something, since I never thought of checking online. I think that gold's internal battery died ):

Other than that, I got a shiny machamp and conkeldurr off the GTS. I doubt they're legit, but I'm going to pretend they are!

When I was training my marshtomp in the patches of grass between Mauville and Verdanturf City (in Ruby), I found a shiny roselia. Don't have a good memory of this, but I think it was red.
