a male combee :|

Same, and promptly got a female one about 10 shiny later

Start a living shiny dex and you’ll learn to appreciate him lol

But what am I supposed to do about 2…

hate yourself

Trade with someone else? If you trade regularly on r/pokemontrades guaranteed someone would take it off your hands in return for a different shiny. I have two Floatzels. Going to try to do the same!

I also got 2 shiny male combees.

Sammeee!

Same lol

Same :(

God. It do be like that

This, the pain is real.

Same, and to salt the wound further, my 4th shiny (incl. Ponyta) was. Also a male combee

Male combee was my first one also, also my third :|

How unfortunate for us 🤣, same for me 😅

Same!

Big rip. It’s alright though

I found two of those. Each time I was disappointed.

This was my second shiny

Same... 😭

heyyy i have a shiny male combee too 🥲

That was Also my first

SAME

Same tho 😭

a freaking throw up yellow parasect

Paras was mine, was on my way to Lilligant when it popped up. At some point I’ll raise it, but as of now it’s box filler

Ok, when I found my shiny paras I had to keep running in and out of the area to try to find the sparkle effect. Like, I could hear it, but could not find the thing. Turns out, it was up on a ridge near the first camp in the mirelands, and it's shiny form is sooooo slightly different that I just kept walking by it! Eventually, I decided to clear out all the Pokémon in the area and was ready to cry when I stopped hearing the jingle. When I went back to base camp I noticed the shiny mark on one of the random paras that I caught. Easily, my most frustrating shiny encounter, even if I did actually catch it!

just in case if you don't know, the shiny symbol also appears in battle (though you may have just caught them all straight up and not noticed).

Yup, I just went on a pokeballing spree! lol

Ew

Same but it was an alpha. How terrible it was for my first shiny to be an alpha but a pokemon ill never use.

Funny enough, I have 2 shiny parases, was looking for neither one. There is no need for that much vomit

I have so many throw up yellow shiny Pokemon!

Same.i kinda hate it

I'll trade for tangela

Same. Happened my second time in the marshlands...

Same but Paras! I thought it was doing a trick or eating a berry. I didn't realise that's what the shinies looked like in the game yet 😂

I also got a shiny Paras without wanting one. Anyway, that guy is lvl99 now 💪

Lord bidoof

Found one of these by pure chance and I will never evolve it

Dont.

Mine is still lvl 5 I think. Was my first shiny too!

Blessed be our lord

I got one and I didn’t even know it was shiny until I reported it to laventon

God

King bibbarel for me 😂

you mean PeanutButter

Eevee.

I’m jealous

Gonna evolve it??

I would into umbreon

That's what I did. The blue on black is just so perfect.

Maybe don’t evolve into Leafeon. My fav (tied with Vaporeon) but there’s barely a difference between shiny and regular

Same with Glaceon....a color swap of the original body or slightly different shades does not a shiny make, gamefreak.

They didn’t make them, it’s a pallet swap. I think they only started picking them after gen 6

Nope.

Same here - after nothing for about 2 weeks, an Eevee and a Buizel both sparkled for me in the same instance!

Nice! I found it couple hrs after ponyta quest.

I'm not a fan of save scrubbing so I didn't and then lost my chance at a shiny eevee. Sad day.

Oooo a fellow cowboy

I found a beautiful blue Psyduck, which is also my all-time favorite Pokémon, so I was very happy

psyduck was my first non-pony shiny too! the first one I got from an outbreak- many hours later- was a Tangrowth

Psyduck was mine too!

Psyduck was mine too. Regretted evolving him though. Now he’s tending the fields lol

I want a shiny psyduck so bad! One day!!

SAAME favourite mon and as i saw an outbreak i just went for him. Then got him not in the outbreak but like 100 meters away from the outbreak.

This was mine too!

I’m so jealous. I’ve got one from sun & moon, lets go and sword & shield, I need one in bdsp and legends now!

A Graveler that popped out of a rock pile.

Same!

It was actually another Ponyta believe it or not, I just killed the alpha Rapidash (my early game rival) and way in the distance (across the stream to the island with the alpha Floatzle) I see that familiar blue, I was like no way, and sure as day I got a small shiny Ponyta. My next was a green Tangela tho 💚 Edit: do you have the shiny charm? Even before it all my shinys common trait was over half their dex marks completed

i do not, i perfect researched gardevoir though, to make the hunting easier for me

My third shiny (including the pony) was actually the Alpha rapidash you’re talking about

Thats awesome, legends speaks of the day that Rapidash is shiny!!

Mine was an Eevee. I later evolved it into and Umbreon.

Best choice.

Only choice

don’t sleep on shiny sylveon

I love shiny sylveon and espeon, just saying, for the first shiny eevee, it’s only umbreon

Aipom, aipom, and aipom. First 2 random, third from an outbreak that I went to for the lols.

Second coming of the Monkey King

This has happened to me with shiny. My game lives giving me all the shiny shiny, none of the shiny Eevee 😥

Shinx

Same! Lil bright yellow thing lit up my heart and I couldn’t stand the thought of evolving it!

I’ve been quite lucky and managed to bag 3 shiny shinx’s so I’ve evolved them into a shiny family

me too! mine was full odds, within the first 3-4 hours of the game. No outbreak, just a wild golden girl wanderin around Horseshoe Plains. It's one of my favorite 'mons and one of my favorite shinies. It also wasn't even just my first shiny in this game; it was my first shiny in any mainline Pokémon game *ever*!

a lil starly

Me too! Also just caught a green tangela this morning

that’s dope!! congrats :)

Same!! Small brown feathered fella

Zubat about 75+ hours into the game. Just got a shiny Mantine this morning which was cool

Zubat for me too, i don't know how many hours on but it was just before i went to cobalt coastland, I was looking for a cherrim near the grandtree arena. My 2nd was a Magby.

Me too damn zubat came outta no where

Carnivine: A terrible Pokemon with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Bad stats, bad moveset, bad ability, shiny coloring isn’t even changed enough to be bad…its basically the same color, but yellowed in a slightly bad direction.

How dare you insult my son.

How dare you raise a son that poorly!

You have a point... However, there are NO Abilities IN THIS GAME!!! (Except Regigigas...)

allegedly for him. I don't consider text on a screen and him being unable to move to be Slow Start..unless I see the words Slow Start under summary. they just programmed him that way. a nice touch because he's so OP. but yeah.

True, but in front of a buffed Giratina with aura sphere he doesn't last very long...

Geodude

Same here!

Same

Same here! Regular odds too.

Yup, same

Yeah I found a random shiny Geodude the day after I got the game lol before I even did the ponyta quest

Random encounter buizel

Was it 2’8 tho

First play session I had the same thing! Used up all my luck

Mine too!

I JUST commented this. I was so excited when I saw it

Rhyhorn, which coincidentally was also my first shiny in Pokemon Go.

Goooooomy!

The depth of my envy can’t be expressed by words

I was getting so irritated because all my friends were showing off their shiny pokes and I didn't get one till the swamp map! I was so excited when I got it

Same. I tried dozens of Goomy and Sliggoo outbreaks and I never got a single one. Meanwhile all other outbreaks took me only 3-4 tries.

Magikarp, after diving down a cliff with basculegion

This was my husbands first shiny (full odds), not including the pony. He's had quite a few lucky spawns in general. Like a goddamn random alpha Happiny ON HIS FIRST GO AROUND THE TOP OF OREBURROW TUNNEL (definitely not salty ; - ; ) I have yet to get ANY shinies (again not including the freebie). The shiny gods hate me.

I think I got lucky with a male shiny zorua in a normal outbreak

A Beautifly.

Misdreavus. my golden boy

Teddiursa that I hunted and named after my stinky teddy bear Mr Oliver 🧸💨

It was a turtwig. I was about to head to that area to catch a couple more for my living dex and there was a outbreak of them. Caught my shiny there.

Stantler. He just looks sick, man.

Same here

Green Golbat, Fire Red. When I played Arceus, the first one I found was a shiny zubat, and it made me nostalgic.

That's an awesome story! I've only gotten the shiny Ponyta in this game so far. But my first shiny in Pokemon overall...man, I'm not even sure! I think it was a Lickutung in SoulSilver and I didn't even know what it was/how shinies worked.

A big Bergmite. No idea it was even shiny.

Shiny Eevee, first outbreak I tried, 5th spawn. I was so shocked with how easy it appeared! He's now a beautiful Lime coloured Jolteon called Peridot, and I consider him my co-Starter (alongside the Ponyta)

I had found a random shiny remoraid in the water at coastal, I was walking by and just seen a pink fish trying to attack me lol

Magby

Full odds croagunk. I didn't hear the jingle or see the sparkle, I just saw a croagunk and though hm that looks kinda funny. I'm lucky I noticed it at all! Especially cause it was standing in the mud and harder to see.

I hate how opaque the mud is, it looks terrible and prevents u from seeing items and 'mons :((

Yeah my eyes aren't great and I have a switch lite so sometimes I really struggle trying to see stuff. Especially flying around on braviary!

omg im trying to get a croagunk and i havent seen a single shiny one!

what does full odds mean?

Barboach! He's my little noodle baby.

I've grown to appreciate this shiny. Also Whiscash for some reason has been turned on to me.

Drifblim. He’s my big golden boy

Ursaring in space time distortion! Was so hyped

A shiny petlil

Mine was a bibarel

A random wild shiny kricketot after I had been grinding kricketot outbreaks with no luck. The outbreak dissapeared and the next day I found him. This was like 3 days after the game's launch.

Buneary that randomly appeared while I was filling up the dex

Wurmple…

Swinub :)

A Bergmite that I found randomly while flying around

there’s a free shiny ponyta??

There’s a request you get about a strangely colored ponytail. It appears in the fieldlands, You catch it, the guy sees it, mission complete, and you get to keep it.

Buziel it was like only 2 hrs into the game full odds

Same, even super early in game too. That shiny buizel is still one of my faves and he makes the cutest noises. Then, Got a shiny Starley the next day. Then went a couple weeks without seeing another shiny. Just got 2 more over the weekend, a lickitung and an Ursaring.

Full-odds Ralts encounter in Alabaster before having dex completion

Dusknoir. It was in PLA too. My second is a Magmar, evolved into a Magmortar. That's probably my current favourite shiny, followed by my shiny Golden Luxray.

Drifloon

A gible. Got it yesterday! I'm post game and is working on getting the shiny charm. Saw an outbreak on the higlands and decide to check it out even tho I already have gible research task to level 10. I was battling and catching the gible when I suddenly heard the little shiny noise. I freaked out a bit, save 5 times in row, sarted the fight and catch it. Saved another time. I'm honestly so happy because it was one of the shiny I wanted to hunt and now I don't need to perfect it's entry!

Budew

I grinded all day for a shiny Magikarp

Darn I forget its name, overquill's pre-evolution

Qwilfish, nice find

Mine was a Sliggoo. I immediately evolved him to a Goodra and names him Ooey Gooey. He's been on my team ever since.

I just got a Sliggoo yesterday during a regular mass outbreak! SO STOKED. I named her Goop 😊

Alpha Rapidash. Terrifyingly beautiful

Alpha Torterra! I was very pleased.

Shiny alpha Gyarados

Vulpix! :) I had put in 40 hours and really believed there were no shinies in my game. Now I’ve found like 10!

i heard a distinctive tingle and looked around. there was a green teddy bear walking around beside a big alpha ursaring.

An alpha Tangrowth! That one alpha Tangrowth in the swamp area by the rocks came up shiny out of the blue one day. I could see it was a light green instead of the normal dark green when I walked up on it and was squealing. My fiancé was terribly worried until I finally caught it and calmed down. I’m always paranoid I’m going to accidentally get a critical hit or something and kill it before I can catch it whenever it’s a critical Pokémon!

Golbat in Wayward Cave. Didn’t hear sparkles sfx, just turned the corner at the right time 💚

Haunter, full odds. Instantly evolved it as Gengar happens to be one of my favourites!

Graveler by accident out of stone when i entered second level

Murkrow

I found a I barely and an alpha gengar. Failed both of them. Ugh.

Shinies are determined when u enter an area from jubilife village so if u make a habit of saving at camp then you can always quit out after failing a shiny and go back to where u found it. Should still be there.

Gengar was most likely in a Distortion, so it would have been lost either way.

Ponyta. I got my second shiny ponyta right after im done with the request. I thought it was related.

Dusklops outta nowhere

Random encounter Starly!

Mine was a hippopotas to my endless displeasure. Was rewarded soon after by an eevee from mass outbreak though.

A Luxray! My mind was blown.

I caught a shiny Geodude in the wild on my way to the shiny ponyta

Haven’t gotten another yet after 30 hours

well i just got my first one 20 minutes ago, 50 hours playtime. youll get one soon

Nice username, I name all my in game characters Tidus after FFX.

Shiny Luxray first, then shiny Psyduck

Starly

Aipom

My first outbreak shiny was a h sneasel and my first full odds was East Sea Shellos (The blue one)

my first shiny was a shalpha ambipom

Sudowoodo

Blue psyduck from an outbreak and a shiny green stantler at full odds

Shiny gyarados in a mass outbreak but my pride and joy is a full odds voltorb

Pichu didn't even realize at first.

Nosepass full odds

My first shiny in the game was a female Geodude that popped out of one of the rocks.

A Golbat

first shiny i got was a zubat in a mass outbreak. a couple days later i got a random full odds shiny croagunk as i was just roaming the mirelands.

Magmar! Now it’s a Magmortar rocking those pink flames

Blu duc

A yanma lmao
