My first shiny. I was on a cruise ship in Egypt. Sapphire, Victory Road. I was wandering around there aimlessly.
Boom, shiny Crobat. I thought it was a virus. I turned my GBSP off and didnt touch it for the next few days. |
I was fishing for Wailmer on Sapphire, but instead of a Wailmer I got a Magikarp. A Magikarp that was golden. I caught it, of course, and transferred it to Diamond, where it evolved, and then it was traded to Platinum, and then HG/SS came out and it was worthless. T_T
I also found a shiny on Five Island on FireRed. 'Twas a shiny Pidgeotto! I lost it a while ago, I have no idea where it went... The Pidgeotto, not the FireRed. :I
I've only encountered two non-event shinies. First was an Abra in Crystal, I knew it'd teleport so I actually contemplated using my Master Ball (which I never use anymore, only collect), but instead I took the risk of using a Quick Ball and got it! Wish it was a current gen game so it'd actually feel worthwhile raising.
Second was a shiny Mr. Mime in the Safari Zone of HeartGold. I knew every turn was precious, so I skipped the food and bait and focused on simply throwing Safari Balls. Threw one, it got out after one shake... and ran. ****ing Hell. Right after that, I encountered a regular Mr. Mime and caught it with just one ball. So tragic. ![]()
