RealMak Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 My first shiny was a random Meowth, while I was hunting for Amulets. Suprisingly, it was holding an amulet when I caught it. I can share the screenshot that I took right after its capture marisa 1 Link to comment
awkways Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 In early 2016 when hordes were added, I was an avid shiny trader, buying and selling shinys or RP items for whatever I could make a tiny profit off. I remember I had sunk most of my money into a shiny phanpy (worth around 3m at the time) and a Kyu hat (also worth around 3m at the time). I had about 850k to spare, and saw a friend selling a 30-day donator status for 800k in trade chat. The average price in trade for a 30-day donator was around 1.2m so I decided to buy it, intending just to make a little money off of it. Some of my teammates were horde hunting at the time, and I decided I wanted to hunt with them for an OT shiny - aka I decided that it was worth it to spend my last 800k by using the donator status instead of trying to make 400k or so gross profit (since it probably wasn't too hard to make 800k within 30 days, it wasn't a massive gamble). I was already horde hunting before using the donator, but after 2 days on the donator status, I met this wonderful yellow clowd birb: Spoiler After this I was so excited I swear that I couldn't stop grinning for a solid 2 days. Out of all the shinys I was hunting at the time, this is the one which I wanted most. On the same 30-day donator status ticket / shortly under 3 weeks later, I found this: Spoiler Iirc I was around 573 hours for Swablu, and slightly under 700 hours for Azumarill. This was before encounter counters existed, so I have no idea the total number of encounters, but I assume they were both under 30k (knowing actually how long that takes now). TLDR: Commit to hunting for 1 month and maybe you'll get lucky c: marisa and Riesz 2 Link to comment
Clovissssss Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Smeargle , I was looking for the shiny version of it and found it with only 2 thousand encounters, and it's only 5 hours of shiny hunt. I've never been so lucky in my life marisa 1 Link to comment
Gilan Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Technically Donphan from Xela’s great pokemon treasure hunt way back when. May it RIP (gave it away, along with my original labcoat, when I “quit” for the first time). First wild catch was Sandslash while EV training in Kanto victory road. Currently it’s with Djinn.

MrMalz Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Tentacool, I found it when I was surfing and was caught by in a Horde. Only reason I found it was because I ran out of repels( and was poor) and the game told me not to aoe kill them all with Surf. It happened on Route 21 right behind Pallet Town before I had played for even a week. I had no clue how rare shinies were and told no one until my friends brought up how rare they were a week later. Thanks for Asking! Edited March 16, 2021 by MrMalz marisa 1 Link to comment

More to the Story: My friends (who were playing longer and introduced me to the game) did not let me off for not telling them about it btw and had thought I was just joking due to the rarity until I showed it to them. This Community is awesome, cheers. Also your Catch sounds more reasonable. Edited March 16, 2021 by MrMalz I'm not very good at using this site RealMak 1 Link to comment
Seth Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I want to join this party ^^ My first shiny (as a new player) was a random single encounter shiny Nincada in 2016 when I was going through Hoenn region, which was my favorite region as a child. I wasn't aware of how much shiny OT actually meant back then, so I unfortunately sold it to get money to breed competitive Pokémon. I regret that big time today. Not so long ago I was shown this picture of me casually hanging in Vermilion with my Shiny Ninjask: marisa 1 Link to comment
RedixTz Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) It was a sad history, I was training evs on a pokemon when a shiny bouffalant appeared. I was listening to music and the game volume was on 5 so I didnt heared the shiny sound. Btw I was doing my homework and I didnt see the "Shiny Bouffalant", then this happend...19/04/20 - 400 - 650 hours (idk) With a 240p metagross xD The first shiny died xd, but at the 700 - 750 hours I catched a Shiny Heatmor but I sold it :b, 2minutes later after sold it at 1.5m I watched in GTL the shinys and there was my heatmor at 2m. Now I dont have shinys ;-; Edited March 16, 2021 by RedixTz marisa 1 Link to comment
JaviKings Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) It was a Wooper in the Hoenn Safari, I went for a totodile for the pokedex, with 350 hours of play, he escaped after the first pokeball. Edited March 16, 2021 by JaviKings MrMalz and marisa 2 Link to comment
pidgeyslayer Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 A golbat. I found it in a cave in Hoenn if I remember correctly. MrMalz and marisa 2 Link to comment
pikabuuh Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 This topic was a fun read ^^ My first shiny was a troll. After +1500h I decided to make a 6x0 Sunkern - ofc thats when rng decides to strike /o\ Pecaeme, marisa, MrMalz and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Daladex Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My first shiny was Medicham, completely unintentional random encounter, found him whilst making my way through my first region, SInnoh. Even though I already had a team at that point, I went out of my way to train him so I could defeat the league in style. Pecaeme and marisa 2 Link to comment
Oldenman Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 my first shiny was in a now dead team, ZomB(ironic). It was a Shiny duskull and it was my 800ish hr ingame. Pecaeme and marisa 2 Link to comment
