Shiny Rayquaza has the best color scheme of all Pokemon.
Pokemon X & Y

There are some awesome shinies, Rapidash, Charizard and Metagross(whis I have all mwhahaha) are all pretty awesome but yeah there are some awful ones like my yellow Krokoodile.
-
Red quill sandslash is pretty cool too, and I have one of those, (at level 100!) but puke green sandshrew is awful.
-
For years, I thought Lucario was naturally gold because I didn't realize the first one I hatched (and the only one I had) was a shiny.

What about the other Lucario, did you think they were all shiny? and what about the dex having the normal version? Oo
-
What other Lucario? I never really checked my Dex, I guess
-
-
I love green, so I've always wanted a shiny Hitmonlee. Unfortunately, I have yet to obtain one…
-
the only shiny i ever caught was both from generation 3 i believe. Shiny wingull and shiny lairion which i turned into a shiny agron. I also had a shiny deoxys but i didn't catch it. it was given to me
-
If we're talking about shiny pokemon that we've caught, then mine include a shiny Starly (which I've evolved to a Staraptor since then) and a shiny Banette, both of which showed up completely at random. As for why I couldn't have that happen to me while chaining Tyrogue, I can only assume the answer is "Because fuck you, that's why"…
-
I am often using repels so I've only ever found one shiny pokemon.
That was on SoulSilver, just playing through the game, chilling by the Power Plant and OHMYGODITSA GREEN FEAROW haha.
That was fun.
-
The last two days were lucky for me got a shiny Tangrowth and a shiny Dragonair on GTS.
Gave Kanto starters so I made a pretty sweet deal.
The only shiny I got randomly was a shiny Squirtle which I hatched from an egg.But usually I don't really care for shinies. They are good.for trading purposes though.
-
Oh, we're talking about shinies? Well one time in FireRed, I found a shiny Dratini (my first one that wasn't red Gyarados)…..and it fled.
Now Ruby? I've been WAY more lucky, finding a shiny Hariyama, Duskull, and Wingull! 'Course, it's also the same game where I got Pokerus, so I consider my luckiest game to this day.
-
I've never seen a shiny.
-
I never got a shiny from the wild always GTS or elsewhere. although there were 2 shinies I got by pure luck over GTS first one I put a pokemon up for trade for a lvl 100 flareon and I unexpectedly got a shiny lvl 100 flareon the other was when I had diamond I, like before, put a pokemon up for a lvl 100 Dialga and unexpectedly got a shiny lvl 100 dialga sadly I lost that diamond version and the dialga with it…
-
Saturday i caught my first shiny in YEARS!! … a Wigglytuff. I guess there's worse.
BTW i pre-ordered Pokemon Y today! Now i just have to wait ... god that last 1 1/2 month will be hard. I'm 27 and i'm looking forward to Pokemon like a child. :D
-
Ohh shinies!
I caught my first shiny in Gold… it was a Krabby. Then I caught a shiny Pachirisu in Diamond and hatched a shiny Cyndaquil in White. I was actually trying to get a shiny Zorua but then decided to make my next team which has a Quilava in it. The 2nd Cyndaquil egg I hatched was a shiny. I didn't know if I should be happy or mad because I hatched at least 6k Zorua eggs but got a shiny Cyndaquil on my 2nd try haha. I was happy pretty about it though in the end. It's also a female!In Ruby the first Pokemon I found was a shiny Zigzagoon which means I didn't have any Pokeballs, so I just stared at it for at least 10 minutes. That game hates me.
-
I got a shiny Sharpedo on Ruby.

Yay another person who preordered Y! :D

Aaron and the Champion.
Aaron is the guy who teamed up with you and had Lucario? I guess by the time I ended up hatching my egg, I forgot what it looked like. And I must've just not paid attention to Cynthia's. xD
I ran into a shiny traveler one time, but it was a double battle and it exploded while I was getting rid of the other Graveler. I know I've gotten a couple more legit ones, but I can't remember.
-
I remember catching a shiny Swablu in Sapphire, but I have no idea where it ever went > A <
Friend managed to get me a shiny Celebi (don't ask idk how).
I'm not a fan of pink or green but pink!Celebis are just… ah <3 -
I've gotten quite a few shinies through trades and such… but actual ones I've seen and caught in the wild?
Sapphire- Oddish... which I nearly killed before realizing it was shiny.
Silver- Misdreavious... on my final assent to just FINISH the game and face Red. Pretty cool that it happened at the last possible second basically. (why couldn't it have been larvitar instead?) It was interesting mostly in that I'd NEVER given it thought before.
White 2- Solosis and Deerling... on the SAME NIGHT. Within like 20 minutes of each other. Both of them things I wanted to use anyway and absolutely would have put onto my team as a found shiny... and BOTH of them had the crappy ability that I didn't want. Sigh.Basically, four shinies in the course of hundreds of hours, several years, and skipping some games entirely. The solosis and deerling thing was the craziest night ever. I REALLY wish either of them had had the ability I wanted, I would have used them like crazy. (Solosis espeically since its one ability is just a far inferior version of its other ability.)
I got a shiny sandshrew (now lv. 100 Sandlash) from Cyber-Robin on here a couple years back... and some other shinies through trades and speciatly giveaways, but those don't feel special in any way. (Sorry shiny Gamestop Suicune... when you're a common giveaway its just not special. Sorry shiny pichu and gyrados... you're story events. Don't care.)
-
I remember the first non-scripted shiny I encountered being an Audino in White 2. I didn't catch it though (I think I ran out of pokeballs while trying to catch it) D:
-
Been about a year since we had this same discussion in the BW2 thread. Nothing has changed for me since then. Still just a shiny Magikarp in Emerald.

Wow that sucks. Although I guess it wouldn't have been that bad until we got the gen 2 remakes so that everybody would have a shiny gyarados again
-
My shiny Tentacruel has sruvived immigration to six games.
-
I played every generation beside Black/White 1 and 2 but never ever encountered one shiny once. :getlost: I thought I had one (can't remember which one) with a slightly different color scheme like some shinies are … but my eyes were misleading. One day...
-
@Cyan:

My sharpedo didn't get that lucky and now with the gameboy chargers dead i can't even play my ruby.
-
I'm part of the no-shinies-ever club.
We sell t-shirts. Sadly, they only come in one color :ninja:
-
The shinies I've caught consist of a Swinub in Crystal, a Bronzor in Diamond, a Plusie in White, and a Whirlipede in White 2.
-
The only shiny I ever encountered 'sides the Haxorus in W2 and Gyrados in S and SS was a Hariyama in the victory road of Emerald but it used whirlwind on the first turn and I lost it.
-
I've been playing since gen 2 and have still never encountered a shiny (except for red gyarados)
-
… the only shiny I've ever found and caught was... a Grimer. A green grimer that looked like snot or cowpoo. Why ;_;
-
speaking about shiny, is it true that its weaker than normal pokemon? or it just in older gameboy games?
-
Caught a shiny Zubat in the original Pokémon Gold.
And 1 shiny nidoran (Female) in Fire Red - Which is just plain ugly IMO. -
My only shiny was a Durant. Too bad.
-
Y'all ain't got nothing on my shiny Nidoking.
-
My shiny Beldum came from an egg a friend gave me.
As for the rest, I figured thier stories didn't matter anymore.
I got a shiny.
From an egg! -
Got a shiny Cottonee today via GTS. I evolved it.
You almost get everything for the Kanto starters but Charmander I guess :( -
Never found a shiny in the wild ever. And I've been playing since 1st gen. I have a few from events though.
-
I got like 20+ some given, some events some caught by other methods and one hatched.
I never found a random encounter one, or actually I did a Phanpy back in Gold bujt didn't know what it was had a phanpy already and killed it.
Got a Beldum I soft reseted in Ruby to get it, got a Sandile from an egg this region, I have Starly, Shinx and some more from doing the radar thing in Diamond but yeah a random encounter never happened to me besides the Phanpy and I figth a lot of wild pokemon when I'm training EVs.
Got a black hacked Charizard a friend made and gave me, bascily I gave him a Charizard and he changed it to Shiny in Pokegen or wtv the program is called.
-
I guess im pretty lucky then since I got a few shinies randomly except that one time where I saw a shiny Wurmple but I wasn't given a pokeball yet T_T
LeafGreen: Nidorina- Safarizone
Emerald: Wynaut- The egg that was given to you by an old lady
Phanpy- Safari Zone again haha
Carvanha- I was trying to catch a Feebas for hours but I got this one instead
Platinum: Machoke- just met one in a cave
Pearl: Wooper- Safari zone AGAIN hahah
Black: Bibarel- under the village bridge
White 2: Emolga- Shaking grass. I was expecting an audino but to my suprise I got a shiny.I also got more from pokeradar but Masuda Method seem to hate me. I can't hatch a Shiny Mawhile :(
-
My story with shinies.
The first DS game I had was that "40 games in one" the one you can download a game and use cheat codes.
I was playing pokemon platinium, without realising it had cheat codes that could make every wild pokemon that I would eventually found, a shiny, so one day I found a shiny magnemite on route 222.
I was super happy.
But, later on I discovered the cheat code..all the magic was gone.
-
speaking about shiny, is it true that its weaker than normal pokemon? or it just in older gameboy games?
Actually, in original silver/gold, shininess was based on IV's, and so a shiny was always stronger than a normal monster because it had perfect base stats… and also far more likely to breed shiny children as a result because IVs can be bred.
They've since changed the formula to pure random encounter 1 in 6,000 chance status, so a shiny will have the same random stat values as any other random wild monster. They're not inherently weaker in any way... though obviously a specially bred monster can be built higher than a wild monster.
-
I have a few pokemon from foreign language games that I got in GTS trades, but I've never been able to breed a shiny using the Masuda Method. I also have never been able to use the Pokeradar to successfully chain a shiny. Why must you break my Tyrogue streaks, unwanted wild pokemon?!

There's a tumblr called 'Fantastic Fakemon' and they've been posting 'Fake' MegaEvolutions…
I know they're fake and they're deemed fake but they look hella good.
So I'm posting them under this, but just verifying for you guys - THEY. ARE. FAKE. Buttheycouldendupbeingclosetothelegitarticleswhoknows?

I don't like alot of those. Especially Mega Volcarona(which is one of my favorite Pokemon), and lol Arcanine.
But the idea for Mega Coffin-dude(can't spell his name for nothing), is something I can get behind. -
I like that Mega Houndoom, alot, especially with the Cerberus sort of motifs on those shoulder pad skull helmet things xD Some of the others aren't bad either, I liked Zangoose and Seviper, but mainly because I already like those two -w-
-
Lol at that Arcanine.
And i like that Masquerain.
