Seven years it took for a legit shiny
After nearly seven years of hunting for shinies, I finally found and captured my first legit shiny EVER (except the red Gyarados). Wouldn't you know it? It's Geodude.

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
besides gyarados...I've found one...and used my master on it... xD
It was a while ago in 3rd gen times...back when they had the toys R us Mew event. Yea, well I went to that, and traded a Spinda for my mew. A pokemon that I didn't care about. Well...I get home, and go to start playing with my new mew...and I find a frikin Shiny Spinda, I kid you not. It was hilarious. Only one I ever found/caught. Course I don't have the mew or the spinda anymore, but let's not go into detail.

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
First legit one I ran into was a Tentacool on my Emerald. But, I gotta say...
a shiny Tentacool looks kinda boring. I passed it up. Next one I ran into was a shiny Spearow while training in LeafGreen. I caught THAT one because it looked badass. |

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
I collect shinies, so I have several legit ones.
In my original Crystal version, I found and caught a shiny Goldeen and Furret, as well as getting a shiny Magby. Unfortunately, my friend "borrowed" my game and then lost it, so those have been lost forever. The only Generation II shiny I have now (save for the Gyaradoses, since those barely count) is a Vulpix on my Silver. As for Gen IV, I have all these as shinies on Pearl: :16: :17: :18:        *     *The ones marked with (*) I got off the GTS, so I'm not sure of their legitimacy, but their stats look legal so I'm hopeful. I actually care enough about the Palkia to reset for another one in Platinum, just to be sure. Also, a close friend of mine caught a Dialga by resetting in Diamond. I commend his patience. |

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
I've only had 2 legit shinies:
Gold Magikarp (Now a Red Gyarados, which is pretty rubbish now that HG/SS are out. Yet is does say it's from Hoenn )Gold Pidgeotto (Traded it to a friend for a level 90-something blissey, Max HP ev's) Also, I'm one of those lucky lucky people to have the Poochyena that attacks Prof. Birch at the start of the game.

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
I've had a crazy amount of legit shinies, at least one for every game. Of the ones that I can remember, over the years I've had Hoothoot, Spearow (Kenya, though on ShinyGold), Magikarp, Marril, Geodude, Voltorb, Hypno (the one from Berry forest), Chinchou, Spinda, Electrike, Weedle, and I saw a shiny Skarmory. That's all I can remember at the moment, but I know I've had more. Let me remind you that I didn't use the Pokéradar or soft resets. These all occurred by chance.

Re: Seven years it took for a legit shiny
I had a shiny Igglybuff in Pokemon Silver and a legit shiny Rotom in Diamond.
I found a shiny Geodude on Diamond once but it selfdestructed before I could catch it. I also found a shint Golbat once on a friend's Silver but he told me not to catch it and I once found a shiny Kakuna on a Silver rom I was playing but I couldn't catch it because it was at the beginning, before I got Pokeballs. |
