Beating pokemon Black But I can Only Use Shiny Pokemon (Hardcore Nuzlocke)?!

Welcome to beating pokemon black with only the rarest of the rarest shiny pokemon. Last time we took on Pokemon Moon Emerald with only shinies and this time we went ahead and chose a main line game to do it in. The fifth generation of pokemon is one with a lot of new faces but also full of great looking shiny pokemon.

My first shiny was a Ho-Oh in Heart Gold, my little pea brain at the time has 0 concept of what a shiny pokemon was (no clue that was a thing) even after catching the Red Gyarados. I thought the little shiny splash affect was because it was a Ho-Oh. After battling it and capturing it I was looking in my PC and noticed a little red star in its bio that no other pokemon had expect, you guessed it, my Shiny Gyarados. That Ho-Oh is sitting in my bank unmoved since the release of Sun and Moon.

[@madebyjo_l]

My first shiny story was actually pretty sick. I always loved heartgold and thats all I would play. At one point I figured out you could get kyogre, groudon amd rayquaza in it but at the time I only had a dsi and only heartgold. After a few years I got to know this guy at school who was a huge fan of old nintendo consoles and funny enough he had 1 single pokemon game and that was soul silver so he gave it and a second ds to me so I could trade myself the groudon to get rayquaza. Once I traded it over I was like "well if I‘m gonna get rayquaza I might aswell put the effort in to get it shiny cause its literally my favourite shiny". So like every person I was preparing for like hours of just sitting there soft resetting a couple thousand times but no.. after like 4 softresets I actually got it which was sooo lucky

[@Solana771]

My first ever shiny was a Shinx in Pokémon Platinum. At the time I had a friend who had loads of hacked shinies and as a person who hadn’t heard of the concept of shiny Pokémon at the time, I was convinced you couldn’t get them without hacking the game. So you can imagine my surprise when I was running around in Platinum one day for the lolz and happened to see a golden shinx in the grass. I caught him and for some reason my sister convinced me to trade him away to her. Many years later, I did get him back in Pokémon X. He’s a Luxray now and I’m never giving him up now

[@emilysmith2965]

I’m amazed that it took until Ghetsis for such reckless play to catch up with you in any way… faded a 90% Take Down on badge 1, got crucial Focus Blast and Stone Edge misses, Mienshao could’ve killed araneo with Fake Out… a million things could have (arguably should have) gone wrong way before that. That said, this is still an impressive accomplishment with a great final team. Kudos!

At least I can remember my crobat and all the memories it brought.

my very first shiny was a sentret in Heartgold. I kid you not, i encountered that shiny sentret on my 4-5th encounter of the game. I was playing with a friend at the time (he was playing Soulsilver next to me) and we were both going crazy xD Fun Fact: Also within that game, one of my pokemons got a pokerus like 2h into the game. My friend and i had no idea what a pokerus was back then, so i just kept playing normally until all my party pokemon recovered from the pokerus. So unfortunately, i couldn't spread the pokerus to all the pokemons i would later use. Still, my Typhlosion ended up being pretty OP in the end That Heartgold cartridge must've been blessed by god or smth xD

if i only i had friends who love pokemon no one in my school likes it and all these comments about ppl with their friends playing pokémon it makes me think (wow how come there’s barely any ppl in ohio who like pokemon) the only i know who like pokemon are my brother and younger cousin but my brother has work and my cousin doesn’t even play the games he just likes the anime so i’m just like man these ppl lucky they friends like this ( idk y i wrote a whole essay i bet no one cares)

My first shiny story is a bit boring but is exciting to me none the less, I was doing a play-through of alpha sapphire while on a road trip with my family, I was walking in some tall grass right outside a town when i encountered a full odds, random encounter, shiny skitty, I managed to catch it and named it Panda after my dead cat

My first shiny was a Haunter in Pokémon Y. I was trying to get all the Vivillion forms and someone on the gts was trading a scatterbug for a beartic so I was looking for one in the ice cave when I found the shiny haunter. I caught her and named her Sickle and now she’s in Pokémon Shield with me 🥰
