So, has anyone ever encountered any Shiny Pokemon, on any of their games? =D The only shiny that I've seen is the Red Gyarados. =O What about you guys?

Me too. xD I have the worst shiny-luck ever. Never before have I even seen a shiny. Actually, I have seen a couple in the battle towers in both Emerald and Firered, but those are all predetermined and therefore not really counting.

I want a shiny Plusle. :<

I would say I want a shiny Xatu and Absol, but... they're really only neon-ish, and I'd rather have a prettier shiny, like... well, I can't think of a neat one right off the top of my head. xD

You know, one thing I liked about Ash's shiny Noctowl (ooh, there's one! I want a shiny Noctowl! =D) was that it wasn't just a different color; it was smaller than normal Noctowl. It made it more unique. ^^

and you believe
I've seen one in Ruby, two in Gold and that's it. I have no luck otherwise. The one in Ruby is a vital member of my overall team - a shiny Mightyena. The other two in Gold? One Ratata and one Gyarados. I faintly remember catching one in LeafGreen, though. A Diglett.

POMEG!!! o3o
I have two shinies. :D

Mightyena.

It was the first or second Pokemon I caught in my Ruby game. ^_^

Corsola.

After chaining for hours and hours on end, I caught a shiny Corsola in Diamond. At, like, 11:30 at night. I probably should've been sleeping. >.>

I forget what I have. I know for sure that I have at least a shiny Machoke and a shiny Floatzel, one in FireRed and one in Diamond, plus one hacked Latias. Plus red Gyarados.

My sister, however, and a shiny Electrode, a shiny Flygon, and a shiny Spinda. And maybe one other. She is so lucky.

I haven't as much luck as some of my friends.....

I encountered a shiny whismur in my emerald, but ran away accidentaly.

Then At the battle frointeir, i caught a shiny smeargle with adamant nature.

I found a nice pereson at another forum who gave me a cyndaquil. It hatched shiny, and he gave it to me anyways for the same deal.

The i gave away my vepisquen to the same guy, to get a shiny swampert! I love shiny swampert.


As for everything else, i have tried chaining and SRing, but neither came out very well

My goal is to get a shiny ponyta, but my chain keeps on breaking. I can only get to about 10.

I haven't had any luck on shiny rotom either :(

And i have always dremed about having a shiny wailord, giritina, and torterra :(

Yeah, one of my friends has like 20 shinies. I really wonder how he does it :(

EDIT:
i also got shinies in my crystal, but my game got corrupted.
I had
gyrados (no duh)
pichu (from the egg that can hatch shiny)
shiny graveler(now a golem, and he might be in my yellow)

In order of finding...


Gold:
Gyarados-x.x

Crystal:
Gyarados-xx.xx
Clefable-Odd Egg ftw (or whatever it was called). Actually, it took me a long time to acknowledge that it was shiny because the difference is so subtle...but yeah, Moon Fairy is a nice battler...
Noctowl-I was searching for Raikou outide of New Bark. I saw this Hoothoot that had the 'shiny bling', which I, f course, did not know what to make of except that my guide book had talked about rumoured 'Specially Colored Pkmn' xD. So I obviously caught and trained it. I remember it was snowing and my friend and I were doing something in my yard when I was telling him my dilema: I was afraid that evolution would rid the colour from my beautiful bright pkmn. Nopperdoodles. Flight the Noctowl is a milestone in my pk-gaming...

Emerald:
Altaria-so I like totally caught shiny hunting fever from SPPf. So I thought the yellow would be awesome, so I searched constantly on the route otside of Meteor Falls for a long time (my sister looked for a Spheal she never found). The Three Stooges were going on in the background. Yeup, I found it. So I ridiculously stood up, cheered, and got myself on the wall so my battery wouldn't die on me while I was catching her xD...Sunny is NOT a battler. All she does is cart me around. In fact, she only goesin the PC when I go to the BF...
Clamperl/Huntail/Gorebyss-my sister's friends caught shiny hunting fever, too. First, my sister's friend thought she found a shiny Heracross. She didn't. However, her little brother found a shiny Clamperl and caught it. I didn't beleive it. They tried describing it (oh, it was hilarious...they called us once and told us that they found a shiny, blue Shellos xD...), and when they metioned I think yellow, I just had to see it. So he shows me and I'm all in awe and begin plotting how to get it xD. I persisted hard, but the little kid would not get rid of his biggest bargaining chip without me forking over Sunny. Nah...enter the cloning glitch. I was the only Emerald-user, so I proposed that if I cloned it, we could distribute the Clamperl to all four of us and in all of its forms. They didn't exactly trust me 100%, but after some trading work, I managed to get all four of us a 'Clampy' or three (I named it before sending it over to myself for cloning xD). I still have mebe a half a box full of Clampies. The better of my two Gorebyss Clampies I'm training...

I feel like I'm missing one :S...oh well...

Well, I have one shiny, a Seel. This was a some time ago when I was running around that one ice cave for no apparent reason, when I suddenly came across a Seel.

Except, well, my brain wasn't on, and so at first it looked like any other Seel. But, as I was waiting for the Seel to stop making its cry so I could run, I saw that sparkly thing. And then I caught it, found out it was a shiny, and that's that.

But that's not all. So, like any other kid that got her first shiny, I was all like, "OMG! Let's go train it and then it will be my best pokemon evah!!!"

Except I had happened to get possibly the worst IVed shiny in the history of ever. I tell you, my Lv.15s can beat that Lv.30! *sigh* So it's just for showing off. And my friend needn't know about its battling abilities, just that it's shiny.. >D

But, anyway, I'd like a Shiny Latias or a Shiny Umbreon at Lv.1 so I could train them up. For now, I just got a Lv.100 Shiny Umbreon off of one of my friends that supposedly says it's legit, but I'm not sure about that.

I'm pretty good at chaining shinies so I have quite a few of them.
My most prized are my shiny Umbreon, my shiny Garchomp, and my shiny Electivire

Hmm. What is chaining, anyway? *doesn't have DP and therefore doesn't have a clue* I'm envious of everyone's shiny catching skill/luck. =3

Chaining is when you use a thing called a pokeradar to find the same kind of pokemon many times in a row and when you get really high you have a bigger chance of finding a shiny.

Silver:
Shiny (Default) Red Gyarados

FireRed:
Seen: Shiny Weezing
Caught: None D=

Diamond:
Caught: Shiny Growlithe (Haven't trained it, I forgot its IVs, not a bad nature, but got it on 2nd one in pokeradar which pwns)

I know this is not a shiny trade thread, but i really need a shiny ponyta!! No weak natures, and not hacked! I am really strict with this, even though i doubt anyone has a shiny ponyta that they will trade.

... What would you give us in return?
And wtf no bad natures? Only an idiot would search until they got a shiny pokemon with a neutral or good nature. >>
