Your first shiny Pokemon?

[Narwhal]

Never got a shiny. EVER. At least not a legit one.

Pender, make sure you evolve that Eevee into the evolution you want, PM me with what you evolve it into if you want.

[empoleonmikel]

still.. no encounter yet..

i have "eaten my words". i got the Japanese event shiny milotic, just to figure out how a "shiny" milotic look like, and see how it fights, realized that shinies really look good, but just the same fighting power with the normal ones.

[kuoleva]

I haven't found a legit shiny, either. D: I hack them sometimes, but if I ever found a real, shiny Umbreon.... I would probably nerdgasm.

So... Pretty...

I hope everyone realizes that shiny pokemon only look different and dont have any different like stats. If I'm wrong please correct me. Although I do love shinies!

I found a Green Zubat in less than 6 hours of gameplay, in my Pokémon Platinum.

[empoleonmikel]

hahaha! finally!! one of the most annoying pokemon (for me), turned out to be my very first legit & legal & genuine shiny!!!

GEODUDE!!! :)

@pokemonfan:

yeah, it's true. shinies are just the same with the others, except for the color, the battle entrance effect, & "uber RARITY", truly, a collector's asset.

In GSC shininess depended on IVs... but now it doesn't. Some shinies look UGLY (stares at Gold Misdreavus), some are just slight shade alterations (like Froslass) and others look just cool.

You lucky little... wow. I have yet to find a shiny... ever.

Feel your pain wraith, hopefully mine will be a shiny yanma, I would freak out if I did and I was at the safari zone.

Yanmas at the Safari Zone = EVIL! They run away everytime and my stupid Safari Balls don't work at all

[girox]

Yesteray I got a [legit] shiny ralts from an egg, man was I jumping out of joy!

yeah, indeed, i'm so lucky :kikkoman:

BTW, i "peeked" at the stats of my beloved geoguy, and yucks!:eek: not really for sharing, hahaha! i just keep it as it is, did not touch the stat.

[wraith89]

Yeah, no body cares if shinies have terrible stats or anything... they just keep them for collector's value. Anyways, congrats...

[Fallen]

I've always found shiny Pokémon better looking than their original forms. It's probably because they are much harder to get. Either way they look better most of the time.

[wraith89]

But I don't understand this...

Nidoran (M)... normal is purple all the way to the end... their shiny counterpart is blue, just like their female counterpart.

Nidoran (F)... normal is blue all the way to the end... their shiny counterpart is purplish pink, just like their male counterpart... until you reach Nidoqueen, where she is that UGLY BROWN... why?

[Fallen]

Her breast and tail area are pink though.

[wraith89]

But I would think it would be her main body that's pink, not the miscellaneous parts. Look at Nidoking... I wish Nidoqueen would be more like that... :-/

[Fallen]

A pink Nidoqueen would be awesome looking. I have a Shiny Nidoking; I love his color.

[empoleonmikel]

whew! i really love my precious geoguy! in fact, he is now my default, i just want to see the "sparkling" entrance, and then, pull him out immediately. it's like i am throwing a golden boulder everytime i battle, trying to imagine how priceless he is!!

but i'm worried now, geoguy gained experience points and leveled up to 21. Guys, will he still be shiny gold if he evolve?? i'm worried

[wraith89]

Oh noes! He'll turn brown when he evolves o_O

[shinysprite]075[/shinysprite]

[empoleonmikel]

Oh noes! He'll turn tannish green when he evolves o_O

waahh!? are you serious!? :eek:

[wraith89]

I was kidding....

[shinysprite]076[/shinysprite]

Shiny Graveler isn't too bad, but shiny Golem is... ugh...

[empoleonmikel]

I was kidding....

[shinysprite]076[/shinysprite]

Shiny Graveler isn't too bad, but shiny Golem is... ugh...

:D

it's ok with me, at least, graveler's evolution will entirely depend on me for now, i'll just enjoy my geoguy, and wait until he evolves into Mr. GravelMan, hahaha!!!

And BTW, thanks for the warm congratulations. i'm still hoping to get another one, because i believe that "when it rains, it pours!", hahaha!!

[wraith89]

I don't think anything beats GOLD Geodude. You should stick with him as a Gold Geodude or something... and you know some Geodudes hold Everstone? That's interesting, is it not?

[Fallen]

Regular Golem looks much much better than shiny Golem.

[empoleonmikel]

yup! for now, i'll just keep him until level 23 (until i find a new shiny, i hope....)

@The Fallen:

Yeah, very well said. i totally agree.
