I did. It was a Paras while I was doing a Nuzlocke run of FireRed.

Technically I cheated by capturing him since I had already caught a Zubat in Mt. Moon before I encountered him but fuck that shit, of course I'm gonna bend the rules for a fucking shiny

You'd have to be pretty retarded or not play much pokemon to have not gotten at least one from all the things over the years that raise your chances of finding them.
That or just not care at all.

...

Everyone bends the rules of a nuzlocke for a shiny.
I'm fairly sure it's one of the official rules.

>tfw never found a single shiny after all this time
It'll happen someday...

I've played through all games from gen1, at least 60 hours in each and much more than that on some, and I've never encountered a shiny in my life besides Red Gyarados in gen2.

I never tried any exploits to force one either, though.

no butI got pokerus in black 2

same, and I probably had 1000+ hours in silver/red back in the day.

I have a shiny now though, a pink crobat named Mohammad that a Jew gave to me.

>entire board dedicated to one series
>they still come here

What's the issue? I thought Sup Forums liked to play video games.

wait red gyardos is rare? I caught it in every run I did (3 runs) in silver and gold

>if you want to talk about Super Mario World, fuck off to /vr/

Are you retarded?

I said "besides Red Gyarados" because he is NOT rare. It's a story event, so it's guaranteed to be shiny.

Never.

So far played ...

>Gold multiple times
>Ruby multiple times
>Crystal on an emulator
>Alpha Saphire
>X
>Sun
>incomplete Plat run

As a kid I could never get Shiny Gyarados, just came to the conclusion he was not catchable.

I'm still surprised after all this time I've never encountered a single one.

Tried chaining SOS Jangmo-o in Sun, but gave up after about 15 minutes, I know people blow hours there, but I just said fuck it. Maybe one day.

I know your struggle.

shinys are worthless you can just import your own with a .sav editor.

having said that, no I've never caught a shiny. Just that red garydos.

Well what you said can be read in two different ways. But thanks user.

>using a save editor to get a shiny

What's the fucking point then?

Caught a shiny Happiny in Alpha Sapphire on the 20th Anniversary. That's the only one I've actually caught myself playing since Gen 1 and only skipping the original Black and White.

to show all the kids your cool pokemon collection

I have a shiny onyx

Get out DPP, follow this smogon.com/forums/threads/chaining-with-the-pokeradar-the-correct-way-gp-2-2.3486334/
Get a pokemon with static at the front of your team and go to pic related.
You should be able to get a shiny shinx in like an hour's worth of effort, less if you're lucky.

Caught this bad boy as a Machop back in Platinum as well as a green and purple Dragalgae in Y.

Only once, back when catching shinys meant something.

It was a shiny Magikarp.

>You'd have to be pretty retarded
>You have to be retarded to not hit the RNG lottery and get a shiny

Do you realize how stupid you sound? Its totally reasonable for someone to have never come across one if they are just playing casually and not doing shit like the Masuda method.

>that or just not care at all.

>Shiny Budew
>Chansey used egg bomb!

I will fucking rip your eyes from their sockets and pour salt into your optic nerve.

Masuda method ain't shit. That's if you want a specific shiny that's specifically for battling
Pokeradar and friend safari rates are absurdly high, if you care enough about getting a shiny it's like an hour or 2's worth of walking in grass away.

Shiny Gyrados :^)

>Are you retarded?
He's a tripfag, the answer is obvious.

As for the OP, no. No shinies ever. Though I did use a program to make Pokemon however I wanted them. Found out having a shiny level 100 weedle let with blast burn, volt tackle and the grass/water supers isn't that good. This was back during R/S.

>caught
no
>Breed
yes

and it has such a shitty IV

If you care that much why don't you just get a shiny?

Must be a fucking retard to keep going back to it t b h

Got a shiny Zorua and Magby last gen.
Ran into a shiny Fearow this gen.

I only play pokemon to beat the game, not to beat children at a child's tournament.

>If you care that much why don't you just get a job?
>If you care that much why don't you just lose your virginity?

Yes, for the first time a few days ago. It was a shiny Diglett, which looks like shit, but it's the first shiny I've ever caught (barring Gyardos) and I've been playing Pokemon since gen 1. I've never grinded for one though, like the shiny Ponyta autist.

Shiny electrike in emerald way back when it was new, shinx in pearl, and barbos in alpha sapphire

Well yeah, those are valid questions.

>deleted

I'm glad I stopped religiously browsing this shithole years ago.

A shiny ghastly.

Several.
To date I've caught a Minun, Zigzagoon, Geodude, Kadabra, Ursaring, Clefairy, Audino and Oddish.

And yet I can't provide valid answers for either one. Imagine that.

Gyrados.

What does that have to do with shinies?

I have caught several chain fished shinies in Y and AS, such as Feebas and Sharpedo. I have never met a random encounter or egg shiny.

Still come back though don't you you fucking loser.

You sound like you have some personal problems i'm not qualified to deal with.

I didn't find one until X/Y raised the shiny chances.
Based pink bat bro.

Shiny Patrat in Pokemon White. I like how it looks but shiny Watchog is really ugly imo

Well technically that would on whether or not you have a hole where your penis would normally be.

>shiny Feebas

You're shitting me

I've been there, shiny trapinch.
Vibrava looks rad too but damn flygon looks dorky.

Feebas is really easy to find in XY, it's always in the same spot.

Yes

A couple, a gold magikarp and one of those meditation monkeys. I haven't seen any since platinum though

I really only ever played Blue, Yellow and X

my first shiny was Hoppip and I kept him in my party all the way to the end.

ratata in gold.

No, why would I be? It's one of the easiest Pokemon to chain fish a specific shiny for.

i caught a shiny zubat in crystal
i loved him

>have a close friend during high school
>our tastes are kinda similar for games, anime, etc.
>during Gen III I get a bunch of shinies but it's mostly common things like zigzagoon, wurmple, zubat, etc.
>at some point she manages to hatch a shiny chansey, which is one of her favorite pokemon
>be a little shit and ask her to trade the chansey for a shiny wurmple
>reluctantly agrees
>time passes by, she ends up getting cancer
>doctors can't do much about it, she eventually dies
>long after her death realize how awful of a friend I was, yet she kept tolerating my shit
>that shiny Chansey is one of the few things I have to remember her
>and still feel like a piece of shit for taking it from her

I have hatched a shiny bold Eevee, now a killer Vaporeon.

It's natural to realize with time how awful you were as a child.

Don't let it consume you.

The regrets born from the ignorance of your youth will drive you mad later in life.

Audino and Wishiwashi
I want to die, my shiny luck is garbage.
but also,

I've played every generation on release except 3, that's 18~ years of playing pokemon and I have never encountered a shiny.

I don't think shinies existed back when I was young enough to play pokemon

Just run around in friend safari for an hour.
Your chances of getting something in an hour is like 30% or some shit, it's pretty crazy.

>SMW
>a game that's relevant to another board
>Pokemon
>a multi-media franchise that has a board dedicated to its discussion
Even you have to know that's a retarded comparison

Wishiwashi is a good shiny

They've existed for about 16 years, so if you were "too old" for pokemon 16 years ago, you're too old for Sup Forums.

be glad you realize it now and how you became a better person
sorry for your loss

Psyduck and Makuhita in ORAS.
no shiny charm or dex-nav
literally was running around those areas trying to get synchronize abras or xatus.

I mean it is, but I'd rather have a shiny of something I'm actually gonna use
I got wishi when trying to find a corsola to complete the aloladex, so it just sits as a level 14 trophy in a box

didnt technically find a shiny, but when i booted up my rom of ruby and checked my boxes (which were mostly empty up to this point) after a month of not playing it, three of them were just full of lvl 1 shinies, ranging from gen 2 starters to even mew or kyogre. it was really weird since i didnt even cheat on this rom

Caught a Natu in Safari Zone on Sapphire. Poor thing is rotting on a Gale of Darkness file because the link cable I had won't connect to the GBA SP anymore for some reason.

It's pretty good aside from the speed, at least in singleplayer game.

I caught a Shiny Gyarados.

Yep. It was in Heart Gold. A Tauros.

i got a relicanth in y from chain fishing and a finneon in oras at random

Caught a Donphan in Silver but that's gone now apparently because the battery dies after a while. Also saw a Spearow but didn't have any Pokeballs left which makes me mad to this day.

Played Pokemon White2 on emulator so I guess it doesn't count but I caught a Kingler and Seismitoad.

>first shiny was a petilil from pokemon white
>gave it to female friend in hopes that would make her like/sleep with me
I was a sad little high school cuck back then

Yeah, my first was in XY was Shuckle in the friend safari.
>Be me
>Shiny hunting
>Finally got Shuckle
>Awesome
>Sometime later I was trading with some rando online
>Show a shiny hippopotas
>For some reason I traded the Shuckle
>Trade happened
>itwasntashiny.png
How was I supposed to know that a stupid hippo had two color pallets for a gender
>Try to trade back, didn't work
....hate that person. I did get a Sudowoodo in sumo though.

I got a Cubone and a Grubbin in my Moon playthrough right now

Caught a shiny Paras in Leafgreen and fought a Trainer NPC with a shiny Crobat in the Battle Frontier in Emerald, I was so fucking pissed that I couldn't catch it.

Ja. Caught shiny Slowpoke in Leafgreen, ended up evolving him all the way to a Slowking. Also got a shiny Gloom on Emerald, forgot how I evolved it.

...

Only one and it was the fucking ice cream.

Many times. My most recent was trying to get a Sableye to fill the dex in SM and finding a Shiny Carbink instead. I think I might've found one already back in XY or ORAS, actually, but I'm not certain.

Zubat in Crystal.
Bronzong in Pearl.
Machoke in Soul Silver.
And that's it, I'm not gnna hatch a gorillion eggs or chain hundred of SOS battles to get a snowflake shitmon.

I only ever caught a single shiny randomly, but I did chain quite a few in Alpha Sapphire.
Took me a few hours each, but I guess most were worth it.

I actually hate modern shinies because they're almost meaningless. That said
>Tentacruel in Silver
>Nidoran(f) Bellsprout and Machop in Leafgreen
>Roggenrola and Timburr in White
Don't have any of them because my sister lost my copy of White

Aron in Sapphire, Mewtwo in soulsilver (1st try, 30spd 31spA, rng of a lifetime) and Gyarados in gold

Caught a Shiny Geodude in Pearl & was really confused why it was yellow. Luckily none of my friends tried to fuck with me & congratulated me for my bullshit luck.

Caught a shiny Skarmory today in Moon... which is alright, but I'm tempted to go full autist & try to grind out a shiny Dratini. Green Dragonite is the shit.

no. im not autistic.

...

Red Gyrados doesn't count

Eh, that's not bad, you at least have one unless you fuck up.
That one guy who had a shiny zangoose in a seviper swarm in XY on the other hand, may god have mercy on his soul.

have you ever been there? that place is cancer.

I think what he's also showing is that they're both male, so they're both useless.
