How many Shiny Pokemon do you have?

shiny Zigzagoon

I'm walking back to Fortree and then "hey are Zigzagoon normally so dark" and then *sparkle* and then *catch* and then :3.

That makes eight shinies I've ever seen (Rattata, Spinarak, Oddish, Exeggcute, Zubat, Geodude, Spearow, Zigzagoon) and two that I still have today (Spearow as part of my main FR team and Zigzagoon).

I deleted the first three, accidentally ran from the fourth, had to run from the fifth because it was a new Diamond game that I was unable to save on, the sixth blew itself up and so I only have the seventh and eighth left.

I found a shiny Buizel some time ago. Was EV training my Suicune against some Shellos. I was multitasking, so when I heard a sparkle from my DS, I freaked.

My first shiny Pokemon I've actually been able to catch/keep :3

I caught a shiny Geodude on my Pearl some time ago before I erased that file. :(
The other day I was searching for a Lapras while doing something else, and when I looked back at the screen a Floatzel appeared. I was like "damn, not another – wait, is that thing /shiny/?" I missed the sparkle, so when I caught it I had to double check and see if it really was shiny. It was pretty funny.

Yesterday morning, I caught a shiny Staravia from a chain of 8 while effort-training shiny Froslass.

She's my 21st shiny. :)

((I must be missing three -- my previous post says 18 caught.))

Wow, turns out fate has a way of balancing things out:

Today, I got my first-ever random encounter shiny on the way to school (Graveler)

In school, I chained Beldum. On the way home, after having refreshed for a while, I found a shiny...and killed it with a freaking critical hit. ...yet I never get critical hits when I need them.

Oh, well. The Graveler is my fifth shiny in two days (the other four being Skittys [one now a Delcatty]). So I'm not too irritated.

I even have the chain going still. Bit ironic, though.

Don't feel too bad, Beldum has the same catch rate as freakin' Mewtwo so by getting that critical hit you saved yourself a lot of time and Pokedollars.

Finally got my first one, Pikachu-colored Pichu!

 

[Alakazam]

OVER NINE THOUSANDDDDDD

Aheh, not really. I may use my AR to get whatever shiny I want but i have amassed legit shinies over the years. Last I counted my collection stood at five.

 

[Karkat Vantas]

I just caught the Red Gyarados in Gold.

My first shiny.

I've never even encountered one before...

 

[Chopsuey]

Four, counting Red Gyarados.

Rattata, caught in Silver.

Tentacruel, to lazy to look at stats, caught on my first play-through of FireRed.

Zubat, Adamant nature, caught four days ago when re-playing FireRed.

Then I saw a Shiny Croagunk in the Great Marsh, hit it with four muds and wasted twelve Safari Balls on it. Missed it.

EDIT: Make it five, I forgot about my Pikachu Colored Pichu.

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

Not counting my two shiny Pichu, none atm.

I had a shiny Beedrill, but I can't seem to find it in my Leafgreen game...

 

[<Joseph: Night SHADE>]

Three. Tomorrow I will download three Shiny Pichu.

 

[X-Scissor]

I've had three. The Red Gyarados, the Pikachu-colored-Pichu, and a random Rhyhorn that I found in Platinum, which quickly evolved into Rhyperior.

 

[eevee_em]

I have 2, 3 if you count the event Pichu. The first is a Roselia(now a Roserade) I caught in the trophy garden, the second is a Staravia(now an EV trained Staraptor) I caught wile looking for a Radar-only Pokemon. I also saw a shiny Wooper in the Great Marsh, but of course it ran on the first turn.

I was lucky enough to see 5 in my old LeafGrean game, but I only caught 2 and wound up deleting the save file.

 

[Eonrider]

3, inlcuding the Pikachu-coloured-Pichu. The others, a Rattata (now Raticate), who was my first shiny. I found it on my FireRed as I was walking from Pallet to Viridian after smashing the E4. The other is an Unown-P I found while searching for all the Unown types in Pearl. *Ding sparkle sparkle*

 

[Mariodjw]

None, except the red gyarados.

 

[Purplemew12]

I have two shiny pokemon....Weepinbell and Zubat. And my shiny Zubat shall NEVER evolve...Because shiny crobat is pink, and the person it's named after is not a pink sort of person...anyway...SHINY ZUBAT LOOKS LIKE ASPARAGUS! ^^

 

[Flygon1]

Leesee here... Shiny Tyranitar, which is friggin' sweet, shiny Zubat in Pokemon Pinball R/S, the Red Gyarados in SoulSilver (Japanese) and Crystal (English), and two event Pichu. So that's 2 random, 2 in-game, and 2 event. Still chaining for Kirlia...

 

[Autumn]

shiny Zubat in Pokemon Pinball R/S

... is that even possible?

 

[Cap'n Sofa]

Cheap shinies: Pikachu-colored Pichu and red Gyarados.
Legit shinies: Charizard and Anorith.
