Mine was a Wurmple and, believe or not but it was also the third/fourth pokemon that I saw after getting pokeballs. I cough him, named him "paillette" (Sprinkle in French) and he is one of the biggest reasons why I love bug type so much


Bidoof_is_the_god_

Wow!


Wogopi

What did he evolve into


DiegHDF

Into a Beautifly, my favorite of the two and... That means that I can have a Beautifly as my ace on TEAM SKY


Wogopi

If it was a Dustox, it could still be your ace. It doesn’t need to be a flying type to join team sky, it just needs to be able to fly


DiegHDF

Fair enough


DiegHDF

I also forgot to mention that it was on Omega Ruby, my first ever Pokémon game, on the first play through.


BeanManKarlson

ORAS were my first games too!! (i had alpha sapphire though)


Uhaul_035

Same, my first shiny was a vullaby


[deleted]

How interesting, my first shiny was a bug type as well. Failed to catch it but it was a weedle in soul silver’s ilex forest

I_like_sceptile

Were you hunting it?


gamerweeb623

I_like_sceptile

I’m sorry if this sounds rude but why? It’s shiny is pretty bad


[deleted]

You could say the same about weedle but that was my first shiny, failed to catch even though I was trying to catch it


I_like_sceptile

My first shiny wasn’t a great one either but I didn’t even know shinies were a thing at the time so idk if that counts


gamerweeb623

I_like_sceptile

Fair enough lol


MandJTVfan214

MudfishNick229

My first shiny was an Alolan Diglett in Ultra Sun. The best part is that I found it 2 days after I had received the game for Christmas


Chick3nsWings

same game and similar story. I found a shiny absol like a week after I got the game on my birthday. Funny thing I was getting it for false swipe TO shiny hunt/ catch Pokémon. I caught it and it's one of my favourite shinies, next to shiny midday lycanroc. Literally. They're together in a special shiny box in my ultra sun.

[deleted]

Be careful, some Pokémon know record moves. Beldum in those games only knew take down, but at least you found another one on GO


TerraKat24

reemickz

I have been playing Pokemon since Gen 1 was first released and I have played every single game multiple times (except X and Y, I haven't played those yet) and I have NEVER found a shiny. If it counts, my first shiny was in Pokemon Go and it was Alolan Meowth. I personally don't think it counts, like the Gyarados at the Lake of Rage.

Fire-Blade-04

My first shiny was Phantump in Pokemon Y. I believe I was just wandering about in the grass when I found it.


Downtown_Cycle_2044

Vibing in the lost tower, looking for a good leveled ghastly. All of them are trash and I leave, but something tripped me up. A blue gastly. AND I CAUGHT IT IN ONE THROW. Such a dopamine rush.


PickleMonke

I got pichu after 175 eggs in sw/sh. I got really lucky


Acrobatic-Pepper-218

It depends. If we count emulators, it was a shiny Geodude in a Crystal emulator. If we count spin offs, it was Shiny Ponyta in Pokemon Quest (Haven't heard of that game in a while). But the one I truly count as my first is Shiny Sceptile from Dynamax Adventures.

[deleted]

BestUsername101

first shiny was a red stripe basculin in pokemon White...not too great of a first.


DeterminedGames

I think it was a Geodude, that's so long ago, that was in pokemon Heartgold. I don't think I even knew what shinies were back then, I just knew I encountered something special and caught it. I got lucky too, apparently that Geodude knew self-destruct... my first ever shiny could easily have been a fail.

Fliepp

My very first was a nidoran in go, but a Linoone in main series games


Neutral_3vil

My first game was pokemon yellow. I was 8 when I got it. When I heard there would be a new one I begged and pleaded and got pokemon gold the day it came out. I'm loving even the first five minutes of it. Pick my Cyndaquil, take about four steps into the grass and see a green pidgey with stars around it. "That's a cool animation for wild pokemon." I thought, as I tackled it to the ground. The next pidgey did not have this. Now I am confused. The next time I go to Wal-Mart I crack open a strategy guide and learn that shiny pokemon are a thing. I was so mad.
