One time, in Pokemon Emerald, I ran into a Golden Poochyena on my way to face May for the very first time, so before I had any Pokeballs. It was at about 3AM on thw ay home from a road trip my family would take every summer, I even took a photo of it for memories on my mothers digital camera. Those were the days, man.

I remember, back on its official release date, I bought Pokémon Diamond and not more than 3 hours into the game when I was on Eterna Forest, I encountered a full odds shiny female Buneary! It also had the Run Away ability and so I knew it would have Cute Charm when it evolved into Lopunny (I studied up on the game up until release date)! I was so stoked! I nicknamed her Luscious and she was a Contest Star Veteran! She took 1st in every rank of the Cuteness contests she was in while in Diamond! I eventually transferred her up into Omega Ruby and she dominated all ranks of the Cuteness contests in Hoenn, too! She is now officially retired from contests and resides safely in my copy of Pokémon Shield! I've had her for so many years and she's my most prized Pokémon I own!

[@justdoit4518]

Thanks for sharing! stories like this are so cool to read and know about other's journeys

[@evman1094]

when i was younger, my friends little brother actually got a legit random Cute Charm ID on his Platinum. We didn't find out until he tried to use his brothers save to get a female Combee, put a cute charm Lopunny in the front slot, and immediately started running into a bunch of shinies 🤣 IDK the odds of the getting the right ID combo on the first try are, but I know they aren't high

Facts

[@maariahtuppr]

Relatable. That happened to me while playing Pokemon Gold. I apparently caught a shiny Pidgey. It showed the ✨️ symbol in the summary beside its name. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what made it different from a normal Pidgey... This was back during the "dial-up" days of the internet, so I couldn't even Google search it. Turns out it was pretty special after all! At the time, I really didn't think much of it though lol.

[@Dan55888]

I see a shiny Nuzlocke I like. That is dedication and skill

[@johndarcy2000]

I found a shiny Giratina while revisiting platinum as an adult. I wasn’t even shiny hunting, I was just trying to catch the box legendary. Best replay ever!

[@lilman060g6]

The first and ONLY ever shiny Pokémon I encountered (to my knowledge, as I didn’t know about shiny Pokémon when I was young) was a shinx on Pokémon platinum. I was so excited because i think it’s one of the coolest looking shiny Pokémon I’ve ever seen. I caught it and carried on for about 2 minutes until my game crashed as my DS was very old and I was forced to turn it off, only to go back on and realise I forgot to save the game. To this day it still haunts me and also remains my only ever shiny encounter. Fs in the chat

[@hygiei]

you need to go back and get yourself another shiny shinx. you'll never forget that loss but it will hurt so much less once you reclaim what was once yours

[@CzarBomba827]

I was sort of listening to this in the background and I almost choked when I heard the shiny took 9 hours. I respect the absolute commitment because I could never try something like that for that long.

[@jksplays_gvo]

Two of my favorite Pokemon of all time Luxray & Gardevoir were the last two Pokemon standing! That just earned you a permanent sub! Good stuff!

dude i randomly came across your youtube channel today, and WHEN I TELL YOU, your channel was the best thing that happened to me; let me explain: i've been in detention every day since thursday, and it's been fairly easy, i get a chromebook to do "work", where in reality, i sit there and watch youtube this pattern has been working everyday until TODAY. all the videos i was watching before, got BLOCKED from my school. I was worried it would be a boring day in detention, but i didn't give up--i ended up finding YOUR channel, and LOW-AND-BEHOLD, your videos miraculously worked. you singlehandedly saved me from the most immense boredom of my life best believe im subbing!!

It's full odds I'm sure, I'm not sure about speed up but could you blame anyone if they did? Sometimes speed up can be even harder like when he was fishing for magikarp or you could miss something easier

[@tusky3655]

Great video man, pokemon platinum is really fun. I started a new run too a while ago and a few days ago I was battling Giratina and I couldn't catch it for the life of me. After about like 10 resets because he killed himself every time, I battle him again and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a shiny fuckin Giratina. I immediately threw a masterball no questions asked and I was shaking because sometimes my game freezes on its own and the dialogue was too fucking much and all I wanted to do was save. At the end I saved the game and searched the odds up, 1/8000 and about 70 hours for one. That's probably the luckiest I will ever get in Pokemon. From all my time I have played this game from emerald to the new games I have gotten a legitimate shiny ONCE. Insane luck and something that's engraved in my core memory forever.

[@765craven4]

I love finding shinies but I'll never specifically hunt them, especially in older titles. Way too much work for a payoff that, while novel, isn't especially worth it imo. This definitely creates an interesting dynamic in the context of a Nuzlocke though, since your control over your encounters is just as low as normal, but unless you're willing to spend tens of hours hunting shinies you'll get significantly less encounters than normal.
