RE: Your very first shiny!
I was going to post a thread about Shiny Pokemon in general but I didn't wanna be repetitive, so bare with me. This was from a thread that was closed quite a while ago.
First shiny besides
Red Gyarados... (that can't count) I left it in the daycare with a normal Gyarados and got a shiny
Magikarp. I naturally assumed this meant it would always happen since it happened on the first try, but no luck. I found
Psyduck while surfing in the water between Goldenrod and the Bug Catching Contest. I thought it was a special place for getting shiny Pokemon so I kept looking for more in that area but no luck there either.
I've also caught shiny
Pidgey, Tangela, Koffing (these three were on Crystal version) my brother caught
Seviper (Sapphire) that he traded me, and my friend caught
Donphan (HeartGold) that she traded me. I also found a shiny
Rattata that I accidently made faint, and a shiny
Graveler that used selfdestruct.
Oh yes, can't forget about the "Pikachu-colored Pichu" event
Pichu.
The latest shiny was a
Marill on Platinum. (I named him Pikagreen because he was green but then he turned yellow when he evolved, so now I have a yellow
Azumarill named Pikagreen
And these guys.
