A couple days back I recieved a Mimikyu through WT and for one second I thought it was shiny, so I searched some images and I said "Nah it couldn't be" so I WT the Mimikyu back. Today I was checking the Pokedex for some references and I found out that Mimikyu had the shiny color on the dex, no other Pokemon have it, so I'm a god damn fucking idiot. I bet the guy who gave it to me also didn't realize that it was shiny.

So /vp/, any unlucky shiny stories you have?

The guy who gave it to you probably injected it, honestly. Just ask someone to hack you a new one if you're down about it.

I got one on WT that looks shiny but it doesn't have that shiny icon on the summary page.

I don't get it. Am I color blind?

You mean party screen icons? Shiny versions of those don't exist.

Maybe, but I still feel like an idiot, and I did think of injecting one myself, maybe even WT some just for the hell of it.

Once, when I was a kid playing Leaf Green, I ran into a shiny Magmar. Excluding the Gyarados in Silver, I had never seen a shiny Pokemon, but I knew of them. But alas, I wasn't paying attention, and ran away from it like I did the rest of the wild Pokemon. It was only after I selected the run option that I realized it was pink. To this day it's my biggest failure.

I accidentally raised a perfect IV shiny swinub within 2 hours of breeding.

Its nature was quiet.

In my 15 years of playing pokemon, I've ran into 2 shinies; an elektrike I accidently killed in rs and a psyduck in the dp safari zone, which ran away immediatley.

Hey man at least you've seen them. I've yet to ever see a single shiny and and I've been playing Pokemon since that shit hit the states. I even ran through Plat, SS, W, B2, and Y before SM releasing, spent hundreds of hours to fill the Pokedex for the first time in a long time, not one fuckin' shiny.

In the future do what >>30405034 said. Regular Pokeballs are dirt-cheap, I left the first island with at least 200.

At the very beginning of a FR playthrough, I ran into a shiny Pidgey on the way to get Oak's package. Did I have any Pokeballs then? Nah.

When i was a kid i found 2 shinies on pokemon Silver, a Bellsprout and a Girafarig
Then i got bored because i couldn't get past the part where you fetch the missing generator part from Misty's gym (i didn't know English at the time so i had no idea what to do) so i restarted the game

I spent like 3 or so hours looking for my shiny Bellsprout just outside Dark cave thinking it was an scripted event like Red Gyarados then i just gave up
