[81 / 18 / ?]
Just caught my first legitimate, completely random, non-chained, shiny Pokemon. The joy across my face as it appeared could never be replicated. I just found randomly in Victory Road on my Pokemon X, a shiny Druddigon. What was your first shiny? (legit or not) How'd you find it? In what game? What is your favorite shiny?

I think my favorite might be Metagross. Though it may be biased, considering Metagross is my favorite Pokemon, but the shiny form is so cool too.

Encountered my first ever legit shiny just last month, actually. Found it in a hoard while EV training in X. My favorite shiny has always been Umbreon, and I've been trying to get my hands on one for years. I won a shiny eevee in a giveaway not too long ago that I'm 99% sure was pokegen'd but it's still nice to have one on my team.

Both caught in the same area>Gen 5 -Black Haxorus and the Dratini/Gible (played both games). No wild shinies>Gen 6 -Shiny Basculin while fishing for a Dragonair.

>What was your first shiny? (legit or not) Dratini>How'd you find it? In what game? It was the Extreme Speed Dratini given to you in Dragon's Den. I didn't realize it was shiny until it evolved all the way to Dragonite, because the color difference was so difficult to see on Dratini and Dragonair with my shitty gameboy's screen. I figured the sparkles that appeared on the status screen and when it was in battle were to show it knew Extreme Speed or something.>What is your favorite shiny? Metagross or Roserade, probably.

Quoted By:
When I got Pokémon Y, I hadn't played any Pokémon game for a decade so I didn't have any idea what a shiny was. I no longer remember what the mon was, but it was some low lvl one I encountered early on in the game. I just looked at it and thought "wow, that's a weird color it has" and just killed it. Never seen a shiny since.

>What was your first shiny? (legit or not) Shuppet on Sapphire. Cartirdge was stolen, so I hunted it again via Masuda method in White 2, and got two shiny Shuppets on the same box, one with the same nature and sex as the stolen one.
>How'd you find it? In what game? Was aiming to get a Chimecho for full Dex completion. It was only available at a low encounter rate on Mt. Pyre's summit.

First shiny was in Diamond, was a Bronzor, found it in Wayward Cave. I was practically shitting my pants with excitement but I was stuck in the awful predicament of the only pokemon on me being a lvl. 100 Torterra and a lvl. 70-something Luxray. I didn't stop crying and raging for about an hour or two after that (to be fair, I was about 12 at the time), and yeah it was legit lol.
