4th Gen Have you found any Shinies?

Yes, I was grinding in Victory Road during a Nuzlocke, and out pops a golden Graveler. I caught it, but I didn't transfer my Pokemon from that file, and I deleted the file...

Aside from the Red Gyarados, I have two shinies in my SoulSilver. A Graveler and a Farfetch'd. Don't like either that much, the former due to the Geodude line being my least fave Rock-types while Farfetch'd shiny color is not "cool" enough. Also, both the ones I have are male.

I found three in HGSS:

A shiny Kyogre. This was while I was trying to get a good one with a Timid nature, and I seriously orgasmed. Lonely nature, but I didn't care - perhaps my coolest find ever.
A Luvdisc, while I was looking for Heart Scales. Ah, maybe it'd make a nice gift :P
A Rattata in Soul Silver, nothing too exciting but I named it "Top %" for laughs.

I have caught Red Gyarados, but unfortunately, it doesn't exactly feel as if I actually deserve it, since it was based on an event and whatnot. If it weren't for that, it definitely wouldn't have been an issue. For random encounter, I believe I've managed myself to bump into Onyx, at one point, but not sure if I had captured it or not, as I haven't checked my PC box to see if there's any Pokémon I would wish to transfer before restarting. It's not much of a huge deal, however, as I already had one of them in Pokémon Platinum. Would be nice if there were two, but as people say, something's better than nothing.

Besides the Red Gyarados, the only Shiny I found is a Shiny Hoppip. This is also the very first Shiny I found in the wild. I was originally looking for a Chansey with a Lucky Egg, but I found this green blob instead. I really love my Shiny Hoppip. x) I was thinking about evolving it into a Jumpluff since I like Shiny Jumpluff, but I'm not too sure. xP

Well at least the person who mentioned it before actually got the Shiny Graveler. I was playing through the game when it decided to self destruct. ;__; Don't think I've run into any other shinies but I also remember getting a free shiny Horsea from someone.

Oh that was me. I was kinda surprised the thing didn't explode on me, but hey at least I managed to catch what is one of the hardest-to-catch wild encounter shinies out there. And the second time I ever did so in general, because I managed to catch a shiny Graveler in Diamond as well.

Relatable. That's my Pokémon X first shiny experience right there, not to say my first ever shiny encounter... I just hate Graveler after that. But one day...


I'm currently playing HG and haven't come across one yet.


On a side note, Red beat me with his Out-of-the-Pokémon-World Pikachu with simple quick attacks...


Sigh...

My first (and only) shiny was a Shinx in Pokemon Diamond, after finding out it was extremely rare I trained it up to a Level 60+ Luxray! It's a shame that I can't find that save anymore. ):

I never found a shiny in Heart Gold. I don't think I even encountered many wild Pokemon... I could train my team just fine against trainers and their rematches. It's understandable how I never found one in this version. I've found shinies in Crystal, Emerald, FireRed, Pearl, Black, and Y.
