Post your first shiny encounter - that you weren't specifically looking for. Completely unexpected shinies, nothing chained or bred for. Mine was a psyduck in the Omega Ruby safari zone.

My first shiny wasn't until Pearl. I found a really, really early pachirisu and thought it was just the female Sprite so I didn't save after catching it. Next day my friend at school was talking about shinies and I realized what I did

My brother wasn't sure what a Luvdisc was so I quickly flew to Ever Grande City to fish and show him, found this.

Last I checked I don't think I still have it though. I have the Ruby cartridge, but I think I actually just started a new game without thinking about it? Was probably only 10 at the time, don't think I knew its significance.

Thanks! I'm always stocked on Premium Balls since I catch regular pokémon in regular poké balls and shiny ones in premium, and all it took was a confuse ray and 4 balls. I just beat the league too so it was an amazing and memorable double victory

Also shiny Shelmet color scheme looks amazing, same goes for its evolution

>Gen 2
The Red Gyarados and nothing else.

>Gen 3
Caught a shiny Psyduck just outside Lilycove in Sapphire. Was disappointed to learn shiny Golduck is barely different from the normal one.

>Gen 4
Was training on Iron Island when I encountered a shiny Graveller. I managed to catch it, and sure enough when I checked it knew Self-Destruct by didn't use it.

>Gen 5
Was breeding Ralts for competitive Gardevoir purposes in White 2 when I hatched a shiny one. Female, with perfect IVs in Special Attack and Speed. Had Synchronize, but once Gen 6 came around I was able to trade it up and get an Ability Capsule. Sometimes I still Battle Spot with it.

>Gen 6
Was randomly fishing and running around trying to fill out the Pokedex in X when I caught a shiny Barbaracle.

I'm considering trying the lottery.

It was in route 216, in Platinum.

I was actually hoping to find a shiny Sneasel, but I happened upon this little guy. It was male and I didn't really want it, though it felt special, so I gave it to a friend who really liked Glalie.

She was pretty stoked about it, even nicknamed it for her and all. We went to high school together.

I never found that shiny Sneasel.

Trapinch in my mono-dragon run in XY.
It was my first shiny ever and Flygon is the most beautiful shiny ever made so it was great.
Unfortunately it had bad IVs and a Calm nature so it had to be relegated to a U-Turn lead.

Quoted By:

My first shiny was a Weepinbell back in Silver, back before I knew what shinies are. I must have blinked when I encountered it, because I didn't see the shiny animation. I thought I might be crazy, and that my friends wouldn't believe me, but I was pretty sure that the Weepinbell was a slightly different color. I caught it anyway and left it in the box. I checked it every now and then, but never caught a normal Weepinbell to compare it to. I told a friend about it, but I don't think he believed me.

I'm kind of impressed at my childhood autism to even tell the difference. It's really subtle.

I was playing Emerald and grinding on Victory road in the post game. It was fun times and nothing serious since I had maxed out IVs by this point and was just mindlessly leveling. All of a sudden I look up from my leveling coma and there is a Red Makuhita staring me down. I snagged his ass fast and he even had solid stats and Thick Fat which the Hariyama I had been using didnt have.

Ran into a Pikachu in Platinum. Caught it just because "Hey new dex entry."
Two steps later I ran into another Pikachu and realized the one I had just caught was a shiny.

From then on I vowed to always look at the screen when encountering wild pokemon and/or always have the sound on, just in case I almost miss another shiny like that.

You didn't necessarily need to OHKO. The shitty AI could have missed, used a non-damaging move or targeted the non-shiny Zubat, giving you more time.

The odds were stacked against you either way, though.
