>Has anyone ever caught a shiny while nuzlocking and been able to use it?

>Has anyone ever received a shiny starter when starting your game?

I just caught this Slugma. Kind of shitty nature for a Slugma, but I'm excited that I get to use a shiny in a nuzlocke!

We have every thread every day. Anyway op, I've never nuzlocked a game, but my first shiny was a Magikarp in the Dragon's Den in SS. Kind of lame, but I didn't evolve it

No, the shittiest shiny is that one that you can't catch because you are so early in the game that you don't have access to pokeballs. I found a shiny poochyena in emerald (Or whatever game it is where a poochyena attacks Birch)

Snivy in BW. Couldn't even make it past the tutorial fights without dying.

>Caught a shiny and been able to use it
Unfortunately not. After catching a Tympole outside of Pinwheel Forest, I encountered this Pidove. Even if Pidove was the first Pokemon I encountered, I probably wouldn't have used it since I had already caught one.

I actually caught a shiny slugma not long ago as well! Thats pretty weird, but the shitty thing is that it was caught on a rom.

My most recent was a Shiny Dieno in Black, now my green Hydreigon is a bro.

Apart from that my first one was in Diamond, a buziel, and I thought my game had glitched, freaked out thinking I'd broke my game, and turned it off.

>mfw I found out their were shinies later on.

And in SS when I went up to the tower, the Ho-oh was shiny. I was pretty amazed.

Encountered a shiny Lairon in the Safari Zone in HG. Aggron is just about my favorite fucking pokemon ever.
Motherfucker got away.
Since then, though, I got a shiny Durant in W1, then quickly got a shiny Corsola, Geodude, and Nidoran M, all in HG and all over a relatively short span of time. Obviously, I also got a red Gyarados.
Just last night, I got a shiny Joltik in B2. Fuck yes motherfucker.

My first Shiny was a Magnemite in Emerald. I took it to the league as a Magneton and rocked their shit. Miraculously, against all odds, I wound up finding ANOTHER electric-type shiny in the postgame: an Electrike.

My first shiny was a Seedot in Ruby. I assumed it was going to grow up into something really cute, but then it turned into a Nuzleaf. Then a Shiftry.

I ended up erasing that file after transferring my Swampert and Milotic to Pearl. I just didn't like Shiftry at all.

Of course, now I really regret it. I probably could've traded it for a shiny I do like.
