[@leestuff9622]

I remember when I was little, I was playing Emerald. I was training my Azumaril, and I saw a Pokemon I've never seen before. It looked like maril, but it was green. I always catch anything new, so I caught it. I showed someone and they told me it was shiny and really rare. I was so excited because maril was my favorite pokemon back then. That was my first shiny. :D

[@gcortez459]

Cool story bro

[@hypnodrama8434]

I spent 15 straight hours breeding zoroarks to see if I could get a shiny zorua, one of the zoroarks was stolen and replaced by a hatched and evolved zorua I got from the eggs from my friend. after 15 hours and 129 non shiny zoruas, I almost had a heart atack. it was THE zorua. It was 2 am. I then went out on the wild looking for an axew, and do you know what happened? pokerus. pokerus happened. exactly one week later, at about the same time, I was looking for a cryogonal, and you know what I found? a shiny woobat. luckiest week ever.

[@giddy7079]

I just got a shiny zorua today through the dex nav... I almost cried 😂

[@panq8904]

Doubt many people can say that they have never seen a legit shiny in multiple pokemon generations, yet get Pokerus TWICE from two separate generations like I did! (For anyone who's curious, the two pokemon who initially got infected was Metagross Lvl 63 from Pokémon Ruby and Crobat Lvl 82 from Pokémon Pearl.)

[@SuperBatachuEvan]

My first shiny experience: I was playing my Heart Gold game I got for my birthday or Christmas, I can't remember, and I run into this Shiny Bellsprout. Keep in mind, I was only 7 or 8 at the time, and I hardly had a grasp on Pokemon. My older brother was playing his Xbox and telling me what to do along the way if I got stuck. I had an underleveled Cyndaquil and he told me to train up my Cyndaquil, named Bob, because, I, well, was hilarious, and to catch a Mareep. I ran into a Bellsprout and noticed the odd coloring and sparkle effect. I said, "Cool, a glitter gold bellsprout!" And my brother just stopped and was like "what?!" He had found himself a shiny digglet on Fire Red, so he had a grasp of Shinies. He stopped his game and came over to me. He is stunned and mutters "Catch that thing!" I was too cool for school, and said, "No, there are too many bellsprouts already" and ran away. He was stunned and then told me the vilocity of the situation. I really didn't understand, but then I always trusted my brother, and now I shiny hunt on occasion. There's probably a life lesson in there somewhere.

[@crappygut6448]

Weepinbell is my fav Pokemon=(

[@SuperBatachuEvan]

lol

[@aidenhorne3981]

My first shiny was also in Heart Gold. I was wandering around route 1 going to a pokemon center, all of my Pokemon were about level 6 and I had an encounter. It was a Pidgey, then it sparkled. At the time I didn't know what Shinys were, but I still got super exited. I got it down to red and caught it. Now its the strongest Pokemon in my copy of Sun and Moon. It also had almost perfect IVs too :D.

[@voch123]

[@chinoloco117]

Same thing happened to me is was gonna be my first shiny ever 😭

[@claudioroberto6554]

My first shiny was a shiny caterpie i got in viridian forest

[@strongside4565]

The second shiny I ever found was in Pearl in the zone you unlock after the elite four with all of the gen 1 and 2 pokes. It was a Weezing. I immediately got it down to about 5% health, threw a ball only to have it pop out then immediately use Explosion. It was the most heart-wrenching moment for me in pokemon.

[@aikou2886]

+Randy “Macho Man” Savage -sighs- At least you could battle it, I once encountered a random shiny Claydol on Ruby while I was exploring the Sky Pilar, I wanted to throw a ball to avoid any accident and as soon as I threw it broke free and used frigging _explosion_ was the first and only shiny I found in that game and the second in the third generation, my first shiny was a Poochyena in Emerald (I still have her in AS).

[@aikou2886]

***** Awesome, was it back on gen 3 as well ? I gotta say that was the rarest (and in my perspective) the best looking shiny of that gen. I still give my Mightyena all the love I gave her back on gen 3.

[@strongside4565]

Ikuto Aikou Arevalo How was it the rarest? It was the most common poke in the game. It also was absolute garbage since dark was special.

[@aikou2886]

Randy Savage​​ What do you mean with "most common" ? I know almost all of the shiny Poochs were uncatchable (encountered the most part of the time during the hunt for the shiny starter). I said best looking not "the best" battle wise (and a lot of pokemon got screwed on that gen regardless of the typing, at least in my opinion it was more species wise). PS: If anything when I said best looking I was talking about the shiny sprite.

[@strongside4565]

Ikuto Aikou Arevalo It is the single most common poke in gen 3 in terms of how often and where they appear so you had a high chance to encounter one based solely on the number of times you are going to encounter poochyena. Realistically overall you have the highest chance to encounter shiny poochyena, wingull and tentacool since you see them most frequently. Tbh if anyone farmed shiny starters in gen 3 they have a serious mental issue.

[@Starsbiteback]

Jwittz is such a throwback for me. I have creators like him to thank for helping me get into Pokémon when I was a kid.

[@PeruvianPotato]

Same. In a way, his videos inspired a 10 year old me to begin my own Pokémon adventure with Alpha Sapphire back in 2015. Still come back to not only remind myself of simpler times but to also generally be informed on certain topics I remain unfamiliar with.

[@WrathieReign]

When I was little I used to think shiny pokemon were just a game glitch. And when I was younger, I was scared of any glitch screwing up my game. Therefor, I never caught a shiny Pokemon besides Garados who for some reason I didn't realize was a shiny until years later. I got a pokemon card with a shiny pokemon and thought "They're exploiting a game glitch...?" and that's when I realized they were made on purpose.

[@Starshock119]

You know how they say that your first shiny is the most special to you? Yeah, well that doesn't exactly apply when that first shiny is Bidoof... -_-

[@notwesley9180]

Same, but I had no pokeballs THANKS DAWN!

[@beyondviolet]

It's still better than not having one at all, right? Who cares what kind it is, it's still ridiculously rare.

[@beyondviolet]

Snoi Med Mine was a Mimikyu, I was looking for one for the Pokédex and just got really lucky

[@samanthalamata318]

Starshock my first shiny was Pichu in ultra sun. I had the shiny charm that time. My friends at school dared me to hunt it. It's a Kantonian Raichu right now.

[@samanthalamata318]

Snoi Med I caught a shiny abra and I traded with myself as well. Close to your story but it's just because I don't have friends.

[@CoroCola]

I this reminds me of Christmas when I got pokemon soul silver as a gift from my parents. and I was originally was going to choose a chickorita because everybody else had cyndaquill or totadile, but then when it can time to pick a starter pokemon, there it was a SHINEY cyndaquill right out of the gate! best Christmas ever!!

I have 3 stories about shinys! 1: Diamond; I was in stark mountain. I was determained to catch Heatran and make it a part of my team but i had forgotten to buy repels, instead of exiting the cave and buying repels i decided to tough it out and make my way through. Wave after wave of pokemon i began to lose my mind because one would appear AFTER EVERY 2 STEPS! Then...right at the entrance of Heatran's room...There it was...A shiny Slugma...I caught that thing in a heartbeat and now it's a proud member of my team in Diamond and White, even replacing Heatran. I had never been happier to forget to buy repels in my life. 2: White; Route 5. After a stressful batte with Elesa and her stupid "Volt switch spamming" Emolgas i decided to do some grinding to overlevel my team for Clay because i didnt want to end up with the water guy telling me "HEY! GET WATER TYPES THEY'RE GOOD AGAINTS GROUND!" when he was a Seismitoad...After some levels and a few evolutions i found a shiny Minccino. I caught it and tried to train it...But the f$cker was so damn fragile with piss-poor stats! I SWEAR GLASS WAS MORE DURABLE THEN IT! So i dumped it in my PC until i found out i could get a munchlax by trading a Cinccino. So i pulled out a shiny stone, evolved it and traded it away without a second thought. HAVE FUN TRAINING SOMETHING WEAKER THEN A WET PAPER BAG FATA$$! 3:Black 2: This was a copy borrowed from a friend. Everything was normal until i got to route 3. I found a shiny Audino. I was like "Holy sh$t! THAT IS RARE AS HELL!" So i caught it and made it part of my team. Then afterwards i found a shiny Blitzel and was like "2 IN A ROW!" and caught it. Then a shiny Purrlion came up and i was like "I AM THE LUCKIEST BASTARD IN THE WORLD!" So i told my friend about it...He laughed his a$$ cause what really happend was he stuck his action replay in my DS while i wasnt looking and activated the "all shiny code"...I got angry and never gave him back Black 2 or his action replay...

I wanted to share a recent shiny story; Since Pokémon Bank is announced to close in the near future, I decided to revisit all DS and 3DS games and transfer as many as possible. When revisiting my copy of Y, I found a bunch of eggs randomly traded to me by friends. These eggs all had different Pokémon in them and were completely untouched. After quickly hatching them, my second to last egg yielded a surprise. A shiny goomy. This egg would have been lost to time when I reset my game if I hadn’t searched my boxes and hatched the remaining Pokémon that were left behind.

[@YGOThor]

I found 3 shinies in my experience of playing pokemon. The first one was the shiny gyarados in crystal (and i caught it), my next one was a shiny kangaskhan in LeafGreen, and that one ran away, and I played Pokemon Gold and found a completely random shiny ho-oh.

[@iinter_stellar]

I got SOOOOO many shinies from wonder trade in Alpha Sapphire. However, my only legit shiny was from chain fishing. Yesterday I watched a different vid about how to get shiny Pokemon. Chain Fishing came up and I immediately tried. I got a combo of 19, but accidently missed. But then, after a chain of 28, there he was. Gold. It was a Magikarp. *Throws quick ball* *makes weird wuzzeeann sound* *Shake* *CLICK!* Me:*Celebrates*

Jwittz was one of my gateways into the Pokémon community, and this comprehensive overview of shiny Pokémon was so helpful for me. Now, I am watching from the distant future, June 2024, trying to help my sister set up RNG for the first time, for shiny hunting!

[@Kahli]

I feel so sad about my red gyarados... So I grew up with Generation 4 and I was just fishing one day. Bored out of my mind, I find out that I fished a red gyarados. I caught it and kept it as a treasure. Much later, I get more into pokemon and find out about the red gyarados in the lake of rage..... You can probably tell how much value that gyarados in my Gen 4 game lost when I figured this out.

[@Mush_e]

When i played gen 3 before i had pokeballs i found a shiny poochyena...

[@Ghost-Bulb]

Naah, dude, it's still valuable xD You caught it out of the one in the Lake of Rage, so it's still pretty cool.

[@Kenijr]

Holy crap! For like a year or so I thought I only had one shiny pokemon: Gyrados, but no! I have a mother fricken Shiny Suicune!! I always wondered why it sparkled. Duh.

[@ReySilverskin]

To this date, I have caught three shiny Pokemon, not counting the red Gyarados. A Pachirisu in Platinum, and a Sneasel and Barbaracle in X. In a remarkable coincidence, all three are pink. I sense a continuing trend.

[@Faydwarf]

I got a blue rapidash... my sister stole it from my game hahaha

[@hobo_jojo]

Faydwarf So, is your sister still alive?

[@Ryan-jg6tq]

Faydwarf my sister stole from me a shiny smeargle... and i have caught a shiny zubat, which is now a pink crobat. And a blue gulpin now a blue swalot.

[@ukrijima4194]

***** I hate when you get something awesome. then Its gone after a few days.

[@dflowers6771]

time traveller from the year 2023. what a kick of nostalgia i got off all these proto memes

[@MrWoIfie]

Caught a shiny Hopip. I'm going to make Jwittz cry >:D

[@shinystar777]

Me too! With the pokeradar. I love it. Also a shiny nincada.

[@ChromaticBlade]

Cached a pink lugia ...... and my sister deleted the file -_____-

[@OzzkarB]

I got a sniper in the closet u might need it :)

[@ElijahMyGuy]

a bit overkill just borrow my pistol

[@OzzkarB]

DragonWarrior989 Nah a minigun is a bit overkill

[@ElijahMyGuy]

Chicken Fancy Pants You're right but just a bit

[@OzzkarB]

DragonWarrior989 Well i also got a shiny Charizard to but that is for another story

[@BigCatFanatic]

I will never forget my first shiny encounter - mainly since the shiny is my favorite Pokemon for shinies. So far it's been the only time I ever used a master ball in all my life. After catching her, I was jumping up and down for almost 2 hours. It was female Mienfoo in Black 2. Today, she is now the pride and joy in my Y team as a level 100 shiny Mienshao. Today I have encountered over 20 shinies - and hatched 6 using the Masuda Method, but still Mienfoo's appearance will forever remain with me, no other shiny will ever compare to that moment.

[@BigCatFanatic]

almost forgot to mention - at that time, Mienfoo was also my #1 favorite Pokemon, that was until Watchog took the #1 spot.

[@tylerprado2985]

I remember my first time seeing a shiny, without using the pokeradar.. It was in firered, and I was running through the grass in the beginning. I found a shiny pidgey! BUT IT WAS BEFORE I WAS GIVEN AND POKEBALLS! JUST MY LUCK

[@MadDummy]

it wasn't my first but... i was chaining trying to get a shiny ditto (which i has 1 naw :3) the first encounter... was a shiny jigglypuff... it was my second shiny that day, (first was poliwhirl) and after 40 encounters i got the shiny ditto :D

[@Memelord-nm5zi]

the first time i got mine shiny buneary only 78 encounters then *sparkle* i got it i remember i was screaming and jumping up and down and it was in AS

[@MadDummy]

lol

[@ResurrectedElvenMonk]

Knocking out a Shiny, Seeing one flee, or a full Pokemon PC box. They all hurt. 😢

[@shinycollector7]

Agreed 100%

[@zinniathedraconid8413]

I remember that time in X/Y when I wanted a regular Gulpin for a deeply Trainer PR Video. I walked into the Bush and immediately got a shiny Gulpin. I felt so cheated, because I knew I was never going to get a shiny Pokémon in the wild for at least two years. I GOT A SHINY PILE OF GOO.

[@zinniathedraconid8413]

Meant to say derpy Trainer PR video. Stupid auto correct.

[@plasmasoldier0467]

At least it wasn't brown...

[@jaclynmcdine8490]

One time in Pokémon X I was looking for a pumpkaboo and found a shiny phantump :D

[@pixelwolfie208]

My shiny exprenience Playing pokemon crystal: Okay TIME TO GET SUICUNE! *flies to the city* Okay I might need to get from pokeballs...... *buys a lot of ultraballs* Okay NOW time to get suicune! *runs to the tower* Okay lets g- *battles the three people* NO MORE STALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *goes to battle suicune* Now time to- wait... *shiny suicune appears* *spazzes out for a hour* *after weaking it catches it* *screams* This was before my youtube so I couldn't record it.

[@deman182]

I lvled a gengar to 100 and had him learn mean look and hypnosis just for them was 100% worth it I got all 3 shinys and it only took 3 years.... What am I doing with my life :'(.

[@pixelwolfie208]

It's okay =) Many people hunt for shinies, from a day to even weeks!

[@tunafishbowl]

Layla Donald he said years

[@deman182]

Yes I did but it was worth it.... kinda.

[@pixelwolfie208]

Still worth it in the end Xden

[@RADZIO895]

my first shiny? red gyarados ;-;

[@jlshao]

Ikr

[@lahnhedberg3403]

RADZIO895 Haha oddish and i never cought red gyarados or find it

[@greatdetectivefurudoerika1589]

karl hedberg I killed the red Gyarados. (lol youngness)

[@Helixneek]

I caught it when the red gyarados is at .....1 pixel bar, cant even see the bar

[@lindaklimm7009]

RADZIO895 same

[@Kotsu-ChanRoss]

I am indeed watching this in the very distant future :o

[@RikuMasamune]

My first (besides Raged Gyrados) was Zubat in Emerald, fainted it by accident because I was tired. Turned off the power. Then I got a Pidgey in Fire Red, my favorite Bird Pokemon, now I like Talon Flame, but Pidgeot always holds a special place in my heart! Worse case scenario: Random encounter Yes! Shiny Graveler Graveler used Self Destruct Throws DS across the room That would be a sad day for anyone...

[@L3G4CYYUI]

I found a shiny Riolu in my 15th run on X and I ran out of pokeballs. I threw my 3DS across my room and almost broke it.

[@NeoZenith1]

I had that happen with geodude :(

[@Khroniclas]

Team Kinovia | LegacyHD why buy a 3d ds if you dont use the 3d function

[@L3G4CYYUI]

To play Pokemon X and Y and other games on the 3DS.

[@bittgrundy]

My first legit shiny Pokémon was when I was playing through my emerald version of Pokémon. Zubat, and yes I caught it

[@voch123]

i had... only 2 shiny encouters. dont worry. i caught both. my first was shiny sandile in Y. it was post game i was crossing the spike path (ya know, the rhyhorn one) i was gonna get more fossils but i didnt waste my money on repels. then i stepped on the green sandy crocodile. you shouldve heard how loud i screamd (actually no you woud be deaf it was so loud) and i caught it... IN A DIVE BALL. this is how i began to respect dive balls. my second shiny was in moon. shiny gumshoos. i was on route 14 or 16 i think and i was gonna test my steel z move w/ diglett i headed to the grass and then... "is that a shiny?" *sparkle* "OH MY ARCEUS YES YES YAAAAAAS!!!!!!!!!!!" i caught it in quick ball. this is how i began to respect quick balls.

[@notjoaquindecastro]

My first shiny was a Marill I found in a horde battle while EV training, and the only Pokemon I had was my level 1 Bulbasaur, a Lv 100 Camerupt with Rock Slide, Earthquake, Lava Plume, and Eruption, and a Lv 17 Paras with Sweet Scent, Fury Cutter, Leech Life, and Stun Spore. Of course, using the Camerupt would knock out the shiny as all it knew were multi-target moves, so I was forced to use the Paras to catch it. After so many turns I didn't bother counting, countless Potions and Revives, and mindless Fury Cutter spams, I caught the shiny Marill. I named the thing Pokegod, from its supposed godly status back in Gen 1, and let me say, it was totally worth it

[@joshuakeesee5528]

my first shiny was a poochyena in pokemon emerald, but i didnt know what shinies were back then, and i deleted the save file...................... i have been crying ever since. :(

[@Zaptross]

Spinda in Ruby...Never used it again.

[@WTrewarthaJones]

I remember spending ages trying to get a shiny mudkip in Ruby. I did it in about 1,000 restarts :D

[@MiniVoltar]

LOL I'm trying to get a shiny Treecko in Emerald

[@WTrewarthaJones]

MiniVoltarShinyHunter I just can't figure out how to restart it quickly on a gba like you can on a ds :(

[@MiniVoltar]

TheCrumpetCrusher DS = L+R+Start+Select GBA = A+B+Start+Select

[@WTrewarthaJones]

MiniVoltarShinyHunter Thanks so much! Hmmm complete elite four or restart?!?

[@MiniVoltar]

TheCrumpetCrusher You? Or me? I haven't started yet. And you. Beat elite four then restart.

[@dragonmaster613]

That Red Gyrados has a special place in my heart, he was my first exposure to Shiny Pokemon and you cannot get him like that anymore (with Home indicators that specify it is the Lake of Rage one). I couldn't find Shinies until Sword came out.

[@Jdogjaden]

Once upon a time, I caught a shiny wingull, I caught it. I lived happily ever after.

[@veronicaszymaniak3524]

Kieran Nicholl WWWRRRRRRROOOAAARRRR Peeko.*yells like a Spartan in war* But is it a good Peeko? Jaden Paramski

[@greatdetectivefurudoerika1589]

Veronica Szymaniak All Peeko is good Peeko. On a related Nuzlockey note, R.I.P. Ideljkiv. Let your legacy be remembered in Ideljkiv 2, for my second Ruby Nuzlocke.

[@mattbunky]

What really sucks is that in ruby and sapphire there's a chance that you can watch Wally catch a shiny ralts but it's not shiny in battle :(

[@monkeyz10dom]

Throughout all my years I've actually managed to catch every single shiny pokemon. However, most of them was found in X and Y using the pokemon finder method where you look for shiny grass. On top of that, I own every pokemon game so I accumulated many event shiny pokemon and traded for shiny pokemon I actually needed. To this day I have a ton of extra event pokemon that I really don't need or even use. I would estimate that it has taken me about 9 years to get every one of them, but I did it. With that said, my least favorite method of shiny hunting is the dreaded egg hatching method. I remember having over 100 phiones (baby manaphy) at a time trying to get a shiny one shiny and I wonder traded them all, but after 1,145 eggs there was a shiny phione. However, my first ever shiny was tan pikachu lol! He was terrible. His moves were lame and the fact he was tanner than I am saddened me so I quit using him entirely!

[@TheVolcom54]

you played way too much

[@monkeyz10dom]

Lol! Well I was one of the kids that nobody liked or wanted to be around so I escaped reality in my video games and I loved pokemon so I dedicated my time to it....

[@jellybeans1977]

I wish I had a shiny pokemon... I don't even have one.

[@monkeyz10dom]

I have a few extras mainly legendary pokemon......

[@Nabbottt]

Paige Griffith You can't legally have every single one; Xerneas and Yvetal are shiny locked in the only games they appear in. This means that if you do actually have every single one, then either you or one of the people you traded with cheated to get their shinies.

[@lajsnaa__i]

The best way to get a shiny pokemon is... GET LUCKY

[@THEW0LFB0Y]

I'm having a nostalgia overload watching this again.

[@mogoblins9540]

Red Gyarados=Shrimp?

[@broke_knee7938]

First shiny was a magikarp.

[@suicidalsponge8212]

I will trade a arceus for that. ;P

[@risyanthbalaji805]

I am in a very distant future

[@SadSpectacle1]

I found a blue Venonat in Silver on route 43 and I managed to catch it. I froze from shock at first and was really scared that I would accidently K.O. it. It was only after 200 hours of gameplay that I encountered my first shiny. Later the cartridge battery ran out and so the shiny is lost now. Also I encountered a green Zubat in Diamond relatively early in the game. The reaction was the same: flash freeze and catching panic. Considering how long I've been playing Pokemon games that encounter ratio is extremely meager.

[@Berryflower123]

never gotten a shiny i never eVEN GOT THE SHINY GYRADOS

[@6MinecraftMan]

same :(

[@choppergamer]

I killed the Gyarados and moved on

[@6MinecraftMan]

〈Chopper Gamer〉 lol

[@choppergamer]

I was young,how am I supposed to know that I need to catch shinies?!?Well at least I caught 43-44 shinies in ruby.

[@6MinecraftMan]

〈Chopper Gamer〉 ok

[@ShdwSrpnt]

Save game Buy 100 Abras from the game corner Check PC for a shiny If not, restart game. It took about 30 tries but that's how I got a shiny Abra.

[@reid.lovstrom]

My sister was fishing one day (in Pokemon platinum) and she came across the ugliest little fish she had ever seen, Yes I mean Feebas... BUT not just any Feebas, A shiny one. when I saw this on her pink DS I almost Crapped my self saying i would trade her anything for it. but no. she Knocked it out...

[@axecam4200]

YES, I am not the only guy... wait I have 151 shinies! FUCK THE RULES! HACKS ROCK!

[@ferim4829]

The ugliest little fish? It evolves into one of the prettiest pokemon.......if only ur sister knew tht.......

[@cageyourheart8772]

SHE MUST BE PURGED.

[@DeathbyProxy]

I first learnt what a Shiny Pokémon was when I was looking at pictures of Mew on Instagram (I had just learnt what one was and I loved it X3). But I saw one picture showed a turquoise Mew. I asked why that was and they told me about Shiny Pokémons so now I know XD

[@pokelover02]

You should make a new video about shinies in X and Y!

[@firestrom44]

Agreed

[@Espiofan265]

My first shiny... BELONGS TO THE POKEBALL TUTORIAL GIRL IN POKEMON Y!!!!!!! I don't even... How does the person that teaches you to catch pokemon... DESERVE A SHINY?!

[@crashdragon777]

my first shiny was a graveler that used self destruct in hg #shinyfail

[@CrimsenOverlordVideos]

Did she use it in future battles? If so, then I'd say she deserves it... plus it amuses me to think of her taunting you with it every time you fight alongside her.

[@Espiofan265]

No, she evolved it, which apparently made it not shiny. Weird.

[@aaab5255]

My first shiny was never

[@grantlong4151]

The only shiny I found was in Diamond and guess what it was. Magikarp of all Pokemon

[@Aquapod9]

I would have literally blown up and taken the Universe (the WHOLE Universe) with me.

[@tetsiga45XxX]

Magikarp will bounce and tackle and splash the crap out of you for that.

[@jackbandy5267]

That's not so bad. At least you can tell it's shiny. The only two shinies I have ever found currently are a female unfezant and a shiny clefairy which both are shades of their original colors and barely tell the difference.

[@LW123LW]

Don't let it evolve. Shiny Magikarp are good in trades, but everybody has a shiny Gyarados.

[@jonaspickeral9937]

lol, i got my first shinies from diamond! my first ever was sudowoodo, then later when i played through the game i was farming the legendary lake pokemon and i found a shiny uxie!

[@LittleMisZorua]

Meinfoo was my first ever shiny. In Pokemon Black, I went to see what Pokemon would appear at the route 8 swarm. Crogunk? okay! I caught one and immediately wanted to evolve it. I take it from the box then head out to the field just outside the entrance to Dragonspiral Tower. First Pokemon I encountered was that Meinfoo with blue highlights. My heart was racing so much, but I caught it. He's now in my Black 2, and I'm glad he is. My Pokemon Black got thrown away by accident, but I at least still have my lovely shiny.

[@shikak1941]

I found a shiny geodude. it decided to run away. me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shikak1941]

BTW, breeding a scyther till I get shiny :3 (already have 19 scythers, all with DIFFERENT nicknames, all ending with "shot")

[@shikak1941]

XD good idea

[@eeee69]

***** or "upshot" for conclusion

[@shikak1941]

this is also possible. (I have 34 sythers now!!)

[@bikesformice]

Normal wild Pokemon can't flee. And Geodude don't appear in the Safari Zone.

[@nic741]

Hi, I am from the future.

[@jesusbeltran5033]

i just saw a shiny graveler but i couldn't catch it because it use self-destruct

[@erjderp6086]

Gotta use dem quick balls bro.

[@jesusbeltran5033]

ERJ Derp i only had a ultra ball

[@yamaero]

Shiny stories really gives me chilks but this was mine. Unluckily... You know that part where a professor teaches how to catch a pokemon... well look, a shiny purrloin. And yes, im playing on pokemkn black

[@FBvampire]

I hatched a shiny pumpkaboo in less than 90 eggs! :D

[@minato2257]

I hatched a shiny charmander in less than 60 eggs, some people just have to much luck 😅

[@lilrikuownzz]

I ran into a shiny graveler on gen 2 victory road. I attacked him once and then put him to sleep. He woke up 2 rounds later and used self destruct. lik dis f u cri ever tim :(

[@firstf757]

IM FROM THE FUTURE!

[@Life-tuber_NPC]

Me to

[@bluestylite7780]

I have spent thousands of hours playing pokemon since gen 1 up until now and I have only ever encountered 2 shiny pokemon; a magmar in gold version and a geodude in diamond.

[@RStaRaptoR]

I remember when some of my pokemon got the pokeris / poke'virus. I thought it was a bad thing! Now people say it helps stats. Usually viruses are bad in software!!!!!!!

[@neilisbored2177]

Yeah, usually they break everything and joel's dad, kermit, gets nuclear.

[@Daichi82]

In crystal i found a shiny Pidgey on my way to get the pokedex...

[@nathanaelwallick8809]

that sucks

[@Expandedsky]

0:23 is 2019 the future enough

[@felipedestickman]

What about 2024

[@MFChickenFlipper]

The first shiny I ever saw was in LeafGreen; it was a Pikachu. I caught it at the Power Plant, and I felt so happy. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to the battery life of my GBA, and it died before I saved the game. My luck changed later on though; one of the first Pokemon I ever caught in Emerald was a shiny Wurmple.
