Your first shiny

[Swampellow]

My first shiny was a sandshrew in Ruby, eventually traded it all the way to B/W, in which I used it and eventually evolved it.This is also what caused me to think of sandshrew/sandslash as gen 3 mons.

I believe my first reborn shiny was a poochyena, didn't bother catching it though.

Mine was surprisingly a shiny Feebas in Emerald. I honestly thought my eyes were playing mind-games with me because it took ages for me to find that spot that hosts Feebas, and when I finally got it, it was a different color O_O

I believe my first was a Shiny Roselia in Platinum. Man, I had such bad luck trying to find one even though I played Pokemon since Crystal.

My first shiny ever was a Swablu. I didn't even know shiny pokemon were a thing back then. I was playing Pokemon Ruby and it randomly appeared, I was drinking some coke too and spewed it all over my friend. He later got a shiny Rayquaza the next day, talk about luck.

My first shiny on Reborn? I think it was Woobat.

[Mistyride]

Flabebe. I named her Tinkerbell.

Came across a shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby when I was a child. Killed it because it was just a Zigzagoon and didn't realize what a shiny was. The first shiny I ever actually caught was a shiny Krabby in Fire Red.

I had almost no concept of shinies when I found my first. I found a Floatzel in Platinum (I think, either that or Diamond) and promptly put it on my team. No longer in existence thanks to the mighty hand of overwritten save file.

My first shiny was a poochyena on Ruby version. It was the first poochyena I had seen, making me believe the next one I saw was special. Go figure I had 2 Mightyena on my team in that game.

[pokiman]

My first shiny ever was in pokemon planet it was a shiny arbok

[Kelazi5]

I first encountered shinies in my Pokemon Zeta run but every single one was already owned by a trainer, grunt, or gym leader. That game got so troll-ish at times. My first ever one I caught, which was in reborn, was a Swadloon.

In official games it was a Kecleon in Alpha Sapphire. I got really lucky in AS but mainly since I somehow caught two shiny Petilil almost back to back in a Mirage Island. Though the funny thing I was so excited about the first that I somehow didn't notice I had gotten a second until much later. Love those two to bits.

My first shiny was a zubat in saphire,then a fearow while ev training in diamond,a deerling in white on my first playthrough, when it came out,got a shiny modest charmander from gts on soulsilver xd those are the ones i remember right now,don't play the main pokemon games for years now.

[Armani]

First time, found a Milktank, pokemon emerald safari zone.

In reborn it was a wooper

[bepe]

Mine was a whismur from victory road in ruby. I delayed my challenge of the elite 4 until I could train it up and use it. Too bad boomburst didn't exist back then.

In the main games (which I played extensively since Gen 3, due to not having a life at the time) I caught my first shiny in Black. It was a Pidove, which had 0IV in half of its stats. Made up for it with the only Vulpix seen in X being shiny, but... going through any game with 0IV is painful, especially once you find out. It has since been traded away. First ever was a Bagon by trade in Pearl. First actually used one was Excadrill in Black.

In Reborn/Rejuv/Desolation/etc/etc/etc/etc it was, what do you know, at least 4 Woobat and 4 Noibat. Speed EV training breaktime notice, I call them. First used one was... none. I do wish that trading a shiny Stunfisk in Agate gave a shiny Vulpix, but... ;-;

My first shiny was back in R/S/E when I found a red-dotted Shroomish. It looked to beautiful I just caught it. At the time I thought my game glitched or something like that. My shroomish was different, I had no idea about shinies, so I believed I exploited some error in the game, and that was enough to brighten my day, at the time.

Every 10-year-old would be ecstatic to be able to see this:

When playing the game for the first time and everyone else's shroomish was plain green. Fun fact: it was just the second shroomish I found, and thought it was just cooler than the simply green one, so I chose to use it and grind it. As I moved on, I found no other, so it became special. I even kept it as a Breloom in my team all the way to the league. This and Swampert were the ones I kept all the way, while the other positions changed often.

In Reborn it must have been a Woobat or a Spinarak. I can't remember. All I know is that when I caught Gastly, it was a blue one

My first shiny was a Skitty I got through Masuda breeding. However, it only took me 48 eggs and while this first successful shiny hunt led me to become a full on shiny hunter it drove me away from breeding because I felt impatient when i began to hit around 300 eggs. Now, I use my shiny Delcatty for horde and fish hunting.

[The God Fist]

My first ever shiny was a Ratatta on route 22 in Gold version, except I didn't know what shiny pokemon were, so I didn't catch it. I thought the red gyrados was just a special thing that they put in the game, and something like that wouldn't happen again, so when I saw a yellow Ratatta I freaked out and thought my game was broken, and immediately turned it off fearing my save data was in trouble. It wasn't until gen 3 that I learned better.

[doombotmecha]

a lombre, in emerald. I have never caught a shiny i could actually use .

my first shiny in reborn was an oddish iirc

[mwijsman]

My first shiny was golden bacon, a shiny Spoink, sadly it died not three weeks later from data corruption

some time later I got a golden pidgey and I still have it on my bank.
