My first shiny (Bar the raging gyarados) was technically a Poliwag in crystal, but i didn't catch it.

The first shiny i ever caught legit was a rather recent Numel during Horde EV training!

My first shiny is a Diglett from Diglett Cave in FR. I'm still inexperience that time so i wonder what's the heck with his noise? Why its blue? Too bad i can't transfer him to my OR now

Sad story time.

Aside from the event legendary dog shinies, countless red Gyarados and ones from a trade.... I have never had a shiny in around 10/11 years (my entire Pokemon career).... Yeah.

My first shiny was Terakion in Black I believe. Had to look up what the extra special effects were for lol

Not counting the red gyarados or my shiny oshawott that was through a trade, my first shiny I found yesterday was a shiny nincada that I found randomly in the wild.

I have never caught a shiny. However when playing through pokemon platinum I was going through iron island with Riley and came across a shiny graveler. Riley's lucario killed it. That was my first time through platinum. Then on my 3rd or 4th playthrough I can't remember which. I found it again in the same spot. I killed lucario to prevent the same result but it blew itself up. So yeah that's my first and second shiny encounter.

have you tried shiny chaining with dexnav? it works wonders. I use it all the time. Legit shiny farming is my fav

Eh. Too much work for something that would be sub par in battle. If I happen upon one then great but I'm not gonna spend hours searching for one.

I don't powersave either.

powersaves saves so much time. I made my dexnav levels all 999 so farming legit shinys is easy. I know psaves also can change your pokemon shiny with one click but I love having the OT on mine.

My first shiny was an oddish in fire red and I was pretty young and new to pokemon so I didn't know until it was a vileplume and I saw one in the anime and it was a great surprise!
