-bow in respect-

^^ konnichiwa.... everyone....

^^ my first two shiny pokemon was a clefairy and roselia.

>< I did not know it was shiny until I saw the different between the male and female, also by sawing a star on the side....

>u< i also have a shiny venusaur, psyduck, gengar, gyarados, dusknoir, heatran and arceus.

i am almost done with my "Ancient Pokemon" list. I have all of them except for one....

T^T and that is celebi....

[saphiren]

A Manaphy I RNGed.

Got lucky? Had a friend/alternate game with a shiny id/sid combo? I'd actually love a .pkm of that, if you can post one.

[Ruki]

My first shiny, I think, was a silver Rattata on Pokemon Crystal. I rmeember running into it and catching it, never using it again. Soon after, I got lucky whilst exiting Ilex Forest (?) and just as I was about to exit, a gold Caterpie appeared. I never did train that thing to a pink Butterfree... >w>

[psiguy]

my first was a growlithe in emerald, still have him in soulsilver

next was a sentret so happy shiny but not the best pokemon

only 2 ive ever caught

[Wimzy]

It was actually quite funny:

I was in the old mansion in Pearl really late at night, to the point where I was getting REALLY tired. I was talking to my brother and said "Gengar's my favorite pokemon, you know how sick it would be if I got a shiny gastly right now?" I then got a battle, and behold.

And no, I'm not making this up...the timing was PERFECT

Other than that, I've gotten events, red gyarados, and RNGd one Only one legit shiny :'(

I really wanted to have my own shiny Manaphy to make sure it wasn't a hack because a lot of shiny Manaphy hacks were going around at the time, so I learned how to RNG. I own two DS and at the time had Platinum and Soulsilver. I calibrated the Soulsilver and set the Manaphy's hatch info on RNG Reporter to be shiny on my Platinum. The worst was starting the game on the right seed. I have a pretty bad time with delays, I guess. I finally got it after trying for like 8 days, though. LOL It doesn't have good IVs, though (low except a 30 in Speed and a 28 in Sp. Def I think). I can do you one better, though, thanks to Kaphotics.

My first shiny Pokemon was a Shiny Ponyta. It was very unexpected. I caught it without question.

[r3l3nt1355]

My first encounter with a shiny was in crystal it was a hoothoot but i didnt think about it and KO'ed it but my first catch is still with me today, its my groudon from ruby

[Shiny Charizard]

My first shiny was a zigzagoon in ruby, which I then migrated over to diamond, but I have no idea what I did with it afterwards.

[CheesieUnion]

On Platinum I was going to catch a Magmar and to get there I had to surf a little bit, normally I use a repel but not this time and then I ran into a shiny Shellos.

[silverkid12]

My first shiny was a whismur. I thought it was a glitch at the time, so i killed it. Then i saw a normal whismur, thinking that the rest of the game must be fine.

[Toxic]

My first shiny was a surskit on ruby. I was actually searching for an absol and all of a sudden a shiny surskit appeared! And a surskit alone is pretty rare too... :]

[Nigoli]

from USA Emerald as a Random Encounter on Route 121.

[champion_of_champions]

well, it's not mine, but my friend found a shiny golbat, evolved it, and traded it to me.

[saphiren]

Hmmm...how 'bout shiny Mew in Emerald? Just got it a few minutes ago! :3

[Chargonite]

a shiny pidgey in pokemon firered, i was just walking around being bored and it appeared

[Immerse]

My 1st was Silver, the obvious one Red Gyarados howevr at the time i thought it was exclusive. My 1st random encounter was on Ruby while i was training my Breloom and i found a shiny Geodude

[Yoshistar]

My first shiny was also on my old Silver cart in my brick GameBoy. I barely remember how it happened; I was probably just randomly walking in the grass. I encountered a Kakuna, thinking nothing of it until I saw the sparkles. I immediately flipped out and caught it in an Ultra Ball. That was a good day.

Unfortunately, my Silver cart was stolen eventually. That was an awful day. D:

Fast-forward six years later. In one of my vacations to visit my family in good ol' Puerto Rico, I was playing Diamond, surfing the water route just south of Victory Road. Long story short, I was attempting to look for a Lapras there (not knowing I was looking in the wrong place!) for what seemed like hours. It was about 4 AM and couldn't sleep for some oddball reason. Eventually I switch from Surfing to Fishing, and to my complete disbelief I encounter a shiny Octillery!

Since then, it seemed my luck with finding these rarities skyrocketed. I could go on and list the ones I've got over the years, but each one has its own crazy situational story and I don't want to bore anyone with them.

[mancuw]

It was a shiny sneasel on diamond. Unfortunatly I killed it...

[rashat999]

Well my first one was a Shiny Gyarados in Soul Silver, if that doesn't count then Shiny Zubat was my first one when I was trying to take my event pichu to the shrine.

[twharf@yahoo.com]

[aleyn_luinwe]

I found a Shiny Hoothoot in Soulsilver (U) when I was headbutting a tree to find Tailow. And I caught that shiny and evolved it to Noctowl. Now I am training it so I could use it for catching Legendaries.
