Pokémon Share Your Shiny Pokémon Stories and Screenshots

Here’s my current shiny collection!

The Yvetals, Metagross, and Raquaza are from events. Sadly I’m 95% positive the shiny Dragalge was hacked. I got in a wondertrade and it has perfect IVs and a link to a weird website as its name. Chances are this was just an advertisement. The rest were all found myself!

The Ratata was the first shiny I encountered in the wild. I found it in Castelia Sewers at full odds when I was 10. The shiny I’m the most fond of is Clawitzer. I found it while chain fishing. In complete excitement my 13 year old self named it “shiny!!!!!!!!!!!.”

Y'ALL. I??? I really didn't think I'd be posting here again so soon, but... here is Cantarella, the 1/2048 odds shiny Roselia I caught in Legends: Arceus!!! Another random encounter, and Roserade is one of my absolute dream shinies, no less. I cannot even believe my luck.

Caught my first shiny on Pokemon Go today.
It took me less than 2 minutes to find it; is it easier to find them on this game?

Oh yeah, reminds me that I've acquired two shiny Pokemon since starting Pokemon Go years ago. A shiny Charmeleon and a shiny Natu.

Spoiler: shiny Charmeleon

Spoiler: shiny Natu

(I posted about this in the "What are you happy about today" thread, but @Venti convinced me to post about it here too)

Today I finally caught a shiny authentic Sinistea in a love ball in Pokemon Shield!
It must be one of, if not my rarest shiny. I phased 14 times before it finally showed up.
I named it "Shelley" after the English fine china company, I'm still debating if I want to evolve it or not.
(The other shinies I found while looking for it are two Shiinotics, four Morgrems, Nidoran male, Nidoran female, two Galarian Ponyta, Oranguru, a Hattrem, and of course two inauthentic Sinisteas, one of which has a sleepy mark!

Here’s my first shiny I caught today on Pokemon Go

 

[skarmoury]

Just wanted to showcase two shinies I caught while farming for Mass Outbreaks! First up is Pog the shiny, we met one faithful day and just started at each other. At first I was like, “God he’s so ugly,” but he’s managed to carry my entire team in battles so I’m keeping him on my team LOL. He’s started to grow on me since! Pog is short for Pogchamp because he keeps carry my other Pokemon. I had no idea Gastrodons were good. God love him.

Next is this Hisuian Zoroark! I was VERY surprised to see him, he looks so cool ahhh. I haven’t actually named him yet since I recently got him!

It’s a little funny story with the Zoroark, when the shiny spawned I wasn’t paying attention at all because one of the other Zoroak I had defeated just dropped a berry that couldn’t fit my bag. So for a hot moment I was staring at the floor, and then when I realized someone was chasing me, that’s when I decided to look up. My brain went, “Huh what is that purple Pokemon,” and then I quickly realized it was a shiny Zoroark LOL. I was too excited that I forgot to capture it on video, so I tried to draw it instead.

 

[Midoriya]

One of the eggs from my friends hatched... into a shiny Alolan Grimer! I honestly really wasn't expecting it. It's my third shiny in Pokemon Go aside from Charmeleon and Natu. I think I'm going to name it Trashboat.

 

[Midoriya]

I went shiny hunting in Pokemon: Legends Arceus today! I got some neat catches.

Shiny Yanma!

Shiny Chansey!

And my personal favorite...

Shiny Hisuian Braviary! I nicknamed him Tokoyami, after Fumikage Tokoyami from My Hero Academia. Also added him to my team. Really glad I was able to get him.

 

[Midoriya]

I got even more shiny catches while shiny hunting for Riolu/Lucario yesterday. I managed to make a Riolu mass outbreak spawn, but sadly there were no shinies in it.

Shiny female Heracross.

Shiny female Skorupi.

and my personal favorite...

Shiny Kleavor.

 

[Kamex]

I caught a shiny Piplup! I found it in the mass outbreak spawns and I'm so happy I was able to catch it since I love the turquoise color. I was just very lucky. I'll name him Iggly since he's one of my favorite villagers from Animal Crossing.

 

[michito]

I have been shiny hunting since DP, so I have lots! I don't feel like naming all of them, so here are some milestones:

My 1st shiny was a Barboach in Pearl, which I found before even knowing what shiny pokemon were! I was trying to get a Milotic, but I didn't know what its pre-evo was outside being a fish, so I started to catch and train every fish pokemon I knew. When I wanted a Barboach, the first one I fished was shiny!
My random shinies are Barboach (DP), Staravia (lost, DP), Misdreavus (lost, HG), Pidgey (HG) and Absol (Y, found him on valentine's day!)
My "lost" shinies are Staravia on Pearl & Misdreavus on Heart Gold. First one was lost because my game froze on the nicknaming screen after I caught it. Misdreavus got lost because I found it on the safari zone and ran away before I could catch it.
My shortest chain was Buneary on Y! Got her after just 13 eggs, and of the gender I wanted! Lopunny is my favorite pokemon & I love its shiny, I think we were destined to be together.
My longest chain was Trapinch on White 2, took +2500 eggs! And I don't even like shiny Flygon that much lmao I'm not sure why I started to hunt it, but I guess I was already too deep to stop
My unluckiest shiny are Cleffa on Moon and Pachirisu on Pearl I still havent found them! For Cleffa I'm using the "[pokemon] called for help!" method and I found a shiny Chansey before a Cleffa or Clefairy! For Pachirisu I'm using the Pokeradar method, which I'm pretty bad at. I have been hunting it on and off for around 12 years now, but I refuse to hunt it on any other game lmao.

(I don't have shiny charm on any game, but a foreign ditto for the masuda method. I'm glad the shiny chances are way bigger on newer games lol)

I rarely post shinies but this one is very special to me! I recently bred a shiny Magnemite by accident (I was trying to get a competitive Analytic). I evolved it to Magneton. I like shiny Magnemite and Magneton but...

...I like Magnezone even more!

I transferred my Magnezone over to my Sword file and I wasn't disappointed. Some of my best shinies are shinies I never expected.

 

[Tulaash]

This is my beautiful baby, my 100% legitimate Shiny Charizard. See if you can notice what's up with him, and why he's special!

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

I got this shiny yesterday

 

[Disneyfangirl23]

The Pokemon Go symbol maybe?

 

[Tulaash]

The Pokemon Go symbol maybe?

It's the fact that he's level 2! No, I don't know how that happened, but that's what level he came out to be when I transferred him from Pokémon Go!
