What was your first shiny?

[Lythania]

Oh wow, interesting question, um.. Oh man it's been a while. Back when I was a young scrub and had no idea what a shiny was, I accidentally nuked a shiny in the Bug Catching Contest in Pokemon Silver. I can't remember exactly what pokemon it was. Think it might've been a Caterpie. I only figured out what a shiny was sometime afterwards, I was so upset when I realized. XD (You knew better than I did @Aqwell hahahah.)

As for the first one I ever actually obtained.. I'm not sure, it might've been the Red Gyarados from Silver, but that one wouldn't really count since it was part of an event.

I don't think I've ever legitimately gotten one on my own via wild pokemon or breeding but I hope to change that soon. I have my shiny charm and oval charm, and unlike my previous tentative attempts at breeding, I'm getting serious about it now. #ShinyCharmFTW! Currently working towards a Moon Ball Gastly, with a competitive moveset for Gengar. :D

Congratulations on your shiny Rapidash, @devilmoth! Shiny Rapidash looks awesome. :D


Edit: *Weeps* Well, I was grinding levels for my Gastly in Sky Pillar.. And I totally tripped over a Shiny Sableye, totally in the wild. (Well sort of. I randomly decided to sneak up on a DexNav pokemon.) Problem is, I couldn't catch it when it was at full health (even though I tried), and a simple Peck made it drop dead. I really did try to hit it with my weakest attack. ; ; RIP Sableye, rofl. Talk about timing!
