TIRRRRNTK *growl*... or something like that

anyway as all of us know gyarados was the first one for most of us, but except for gyara what was your first shiny in the 2nd gen games?

mine was a pidgey that looked weird and i killed it.. later to find out that it was very rare to find those..

My first shiny was a Natu in the Safari Zone in Gen 3 when I was 9. I was looking up cheat codes if there were something useful to beat the E4 until I came across about the shiny Natu. It said that a shiny Natu would appear in a certain location in the Safari Zone if you were popping a wheelie with the Acro bike. I didn't know that's not that a shiny pokemon appearing is by chance, but I was young back then. I did it and after a few tries the shiny Natu appeared.

Rattata. It was the only non-Gyarados shiny I caught in gen 2 and remained the only one I found and successfully caught until gen 5 so it was pretty special for me.

[Serend]

A shiny ditto in Emerald. I was really excited, but at the same time disappointed that it didn't transform into other shiny 'mons.

[Kurai Ryuu]

Mine was a rattata in firered. I actually caught him...he's probably still there if I found the game...should look into that

[Remilia Scarlet]

A shiny charmeleon in a friend safari in Y.

I was only allowed to have my own pokemon game at 16 (Pokemon Y in 2013, blame it on strict parents while growing up), before that i was playing on emulator with older games
So i was just looking for a female braixen for whatever reason and instead i get a sparkly golden boi.

His name is Yaguul and he is my best friend whomstd've i love and cherish, i'll take him to every gen

It was a Zubat in the Dark Cave. I had no idea that shinies were a thing and panicked because I thought my game was glitching. Killed it right fast.

I didn't learn about shinies until I ran into the Gyarados later in the game. Even then, I had no idea how rare shinies really were. Also encountered a shiny Delibird in Ice Cave but it fled the battle. I had 999+ hours invested in Silver since it was my first pokemon game ever.

[FairyPeach]

Mine was a Caterpie I came across in the National Park in Silver, which eventually evolved into a pink Butterfree. At the time I had no idea random shinies were a thing, and I think a trainer in-game specifically mentioned a pink Butterfree in relation to the red Gyarados, so I assumed it existed in every game as a reference to the one from the anime.

[Nerymon]

Shiny Noctowl or Shiny Ponyta (Pokemon Gold).
....not sure which one was the first - but I think it was Noctowl

[Runaryu]

A pretty lil greeny golbat in Cave of Origin. And, what a surprise, I killed it :'D I really don't remember the first shiny I was able to obtain. A magikarp, I think. That's the oldest shiny I still have.
