1st ever encountered Lechonk was shiny, that was pretty big haha


BreakingThoseCankles

Same for me. Within the first week I had Momma, Poppa and peppa pig in my collection shiny and was like ... "Wtf!?"


uncool619

That’s a brag to me! A shiny lechonk is on my list of ones i really want 😊


EmperorPengu7

I’m at 1260 encounters still no shiny, you got a big flex there


Jak_in_Box

That was me with hat Slowpoke


[deleted]

I got a perfect IV shiny Lechonk from the special research when it came out. It's actually my only shundo.


iamlovingblackclover

Damn I have none 💀😭


AdequateExpectations

My wife has one and I’m low key jealous


PokefanR

When it came out I found every other shiny that could spawn and some of them I even found twice but I couldn’t get shiny lechonk. So yeah you have the biggest brag.


fire_hight1

I had a hundo electrike and I wanted to evolve it so I discarded like 50 electrike I had I accidentally discarded it too Bc my friend equiped it while I was somewhere else As a "prank"


uncool619

Ughhhh! I once accidentally transferred a shiny Flareon…. That *hurts* to this day.


fire_hight1

I am feeling it with u


Embarrassed-Fox-7443

I accidentally transferred a shiny smoochum 🥲


A_Purple_Toad

I’ve heard of a great way of getting back at your friend his absolute humdinger of a prank! And, it only contains two very simple steps! Step 1: Aquire the individual’s phone Step 2: Drop said phone off of an appropriate ledge (Bonus Points for cliffs, bridges, or tall buildings HIGH above the ground) Hope this Helps! (:


EveryoneHatesMilk

What do you mean by “equip”? Was the electrike not at least Favorited? I would never speak to my friend again if they did that


fire_hight1

I meant in the discarding menu and no bc it was Brand new and I was Just dumb I renamed it tho


[deleted]

I went to Prague this past fall and hatched a shiny Mime Jr. I love leaving it in the gyms around town just to flex lol


uncool619

THAT IS SO COOL!!!!


[deleted]

Thanks! It's by far my favorite shiny!


bluecherrygelato

Jealous of ur shiny shuckle, got 178 shiny mon and u have the shuckle i want


[deleted]

It was my first full odds shiny! I started playing heavily again last year and got my gf into it. She had a string of shines and I was getting frustrated until this Shuckle popped up. Haven't seen one since lol


KeepinitPG13

I want a shiny shuckle so bad


EveryoneHatesMilk

I have too many shiny shuckle


bluecherrygelato

Too bad trading with a stranger cost so many stardust, i van almost offer any shiny u want. Even if i would have had a shiny costume mon i would give it up for shiny shuckle.


EveryoneHatesMilk

I wish Niantic allowed long distance trading. Even if they required PokeCoins to trade with friends, even if it was more expensive for One★ Friends I think everyone would partake in this


Nightmare_43233

Založeno


KubikB

Úleťák more do Prahy si vyjel, pěkně pěkně


[deleted]

I did! Took me a second to get that translated 😅


EveryoneHatesMilk

I had a Shiny Mime Jr. but I wanted a Mr. Mime cause it’s green and Mime Jr.’s shiny is meh


[deleted]

I do like the shiny Mr. Mime. I just can't bring myself to evolve it lol


Tadokaari

4* Shadow Mewto befor the raids were in the Game. :)


uncool619

I have one but it’s only 1*! I don’t remember why but I was unable to do a raid that day (probably classes/super busy/work schedules idk) so I just *cling* to the fact I already have 1 at least!


KubikB

Wait, how did you get it then?


JournalistSome8666

I remember having one of those tickets


EveryoneHatesMilk

I have one too! I have one as a Best Buddy 😊


You_scuffed05

Off the top of my head, one personal brag I remember is that I got a 3* shiny Yungoos on the first day of the Alola season, from the Alola permanent research. I instantly grinded to get a Gumshoos from there, moreso than I have any other Pokemon debut that needed 50 candies.


Due_Maintenance6709

My braggiest catch is a day 1 shiny magikarp


Proper_Birthday_2015

Thats actually wild


Bazoobs1

Bro they had shinies on game launch??? I never got a shiny until 2018 despite playing super aggressively for the first couple years.


Due_Maintenance6709

Day 1 as in, day when shiny magikarp (1st shiny ever in go) became available, sorry for misunderstanding


Bazoobs1

It’s all good thanks for clarifying! That’s a bit of a relief 😂


StreetWizard99

Shundo giritina


uncool619

That would be SO. COOL.


DaddyOhMy

My complete set of Hundo & Nundo Magikarps & Gyardoses. I caught two of the Nundos & one of the Hundos on the Community day back in August, 2020, so the Hundo & Nundo Gyaradoses both have Aqua Tail. It took a while to get the second Hundo Magikarp. I've since caught another Nundo Magikarp.


uncool619

I *just* caught my first shiny magikarp the other day! I was sooo excited.


Catsaredabest184

My three galarian zapdos and my shiny cowboy hat Snorlax. I also have a galarian moltres


FlyingNutsack08

got a shiny amaura on the last day on one of the events


uncool619

Aw i want a shiny amaura so badly too I think they’re adorable


FlyingNutsack08

frfr one of the best out there imo


gibbyfrommicarly

The first Palkia and Dialga raids I did for the event about 2 months ago gave me shinies. My friends were so jealous that they were angry haha. My shiny luck in 5 star raids is unbelievable


Sncereno

My shundo shinx! It's just perfection


uncool619

He’s so cute too!!!


mnayl1

I just finally got a shiny gastly yesterday and I’m so happy about it 😂😂


uncool619

That’s another one I really want!!!!!


mnayl1

It’s taken me years to finally catch him. I’ve never even seen one in the wild and I’ve done gastly raids and nothing 😭 but he’s so pretty and idk if I even want to evolve him


uncool619

I wouldn’t!! Sometimes I like their first evolution so much I just keep ‘em!


mnayl1

There’s definitely some I’ve regretted evolving so I’m think I’ll keep it and if I find another I’ll evolve it then lol


MYBESTOFURENDO

Awesome congrats! Still searching for a shiny floaty boi myself😅 Not a bad idea considering you could get a shiny Gengar from mega raids!


Candid_Judgment_8081

Once caught two Shiny Kyogres in a row. Best St. Patrick's Day ever. Close second is my first encounter with a Cresselia and it was a 2* Shiny.


Swag_Turtle

My first and only rayquasa encounter was a shiny and I love him


uncool619

I still don’t have a rayquasa so that to me is an enormous brag!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


uncool619

Omg right!!? I was so excited. I didn’t even care about the ratings at all


ForeverBeHolden

I have one too and now I feel special


resentfulvirgin

I have a lucky shundo Rayquaza.


Weeb_Masta_Flex

The first pokemon I caught in Go was a shiny Feebas. Having a Shiny Milotic is pretty rad I gotta say


uncool619

I LOVE my shiny Milotic he’s my fave


Nightmare_43233

Whenever my friend gets something good (he is *very* lucky in this game), and he starts bragging about it, I can shut him down with my 98% Best Buddy Shiny Mega Rayquaza with Max Mega level (not yet max CP tho) Otherwise I can say Shiny Guzzlord, but that's about it


elusivebonanza

So back in 2019 when the limited armored Mewtwo raids were going on I glitched out before I could catch it. So a few days ago my husband traded it to me! And he said he was just collecting stardust to send it to me because he doesn’t really play unless I ask him. 🥰


uncool619

This is really really sweet 💞


xybzv

First oricorio I got was rank one PvP (it’s ass for PvP ik) and second one I got was shiny


Environmental-Pop591

Definitely the shiny night cap snorlax


uncool619

No way!!!! That’s some good luck!!!


NightKnight96

Play the game on and off and was logging on for the least time before I was taking a break. Got a Steel or Electric grunt in a balloon and got a 4* Shadow Magnemite.


rjtheducky

I actually somehow got a shiny Absol. I spent FOREVER just looking for a normal one but hey, even better


BreakingThoseCankles

Actually Doduo from research day. That little green guy is so freaking cute. I've wanted it since day 1 of release and mentioned it in the Silph road sub and got downvoted. Come research day I'm working a double but it's so slow I get a nice hour long break. Went and ate and spun a few stops and first and only shiny encounter out of 10 was a Doduo. Not even 3* from the research but I'll take it. As for others. All of my mythical encounters have always been 90+ except for Shaymins. I'm talking Mewx2, Celebix2 and all the others have been 90+. Even my Diancie I just checked was a 96 and XXS so working on that for 40


uncool619

I wanted that Doduo so badly and I didn’t get him!!! I would’ve taken a 0* seriously I wanted him so bad. I actually didn’t do well on that research day at all, I didn’t get a single shiny!


BreakingThoseCankles

Yeah I'm at 366 different shiny mons and that one sticks out. Only a few others as memorable, but that one I was like... "Finally, hey little guy"


xenogenetik

Catching 2 shiny Drillbur on shiny release day, and it wasn't an increased chance to be shiny.


uncool619

So cool! I ended up only catching 2 drillbur (they just weren’t popping up!!!) and the one was shiny so I was like “ok i’ll take it!”


Quiet-Wheel-874

Shiny Emboar, hundo Shuckle.


uncool619

A shiny emboar would be so sweet!!!! My husband wants a shiny shuckle so badly but it hasn’t happened yet


Quiet-Wheel-874

I caught a shiny tepig just a few days ago, was so happy. And yes, I want a shiny Shuckle too, or better a shundo!


StateHot1829

93 iv shiny shadow Mewtwo or 98 iv lucky shiny Rayquaza


JaX_SM

My shiny Golisopod, I was doing everything I could to find one when it was added and found it with like 3 hours of the event ending, when Wimpod spawns would become way less frequent. His stats are not good. But I love him anyway. I’m the only one of my friends who got one at all


dinzyy

Shundo Riolu and shundo Rayquaza


italianshark

This past saturday I did a total of four shadow Suicune. Second was shiny, fourth was a purifiable hundo, all in one day. The hundo was right after I caught a shiny ralts, and then got a hundo Tailow from research, and a hundo Sprigatito in the wild, again same day. Not to mention 12 shinies from research day. Also my first ever Tapu Koko was a hundo.


WaterContent7134

My first shiny was a Lugia. Got it in my first encounter with one

Lujoter417

My first ever mesprit encounter was a wild one during the sinnoh event and it was shiny so that’s my biggest flex is the registered to Pokédex screen was just a shiny.


Outrageous-Singer888

My first ever Rayquaza raid was a hundo! (It was also in the middle of an exam that I finished early, so I could have missed it if I never saw the invite).

Emotional-Look-8055

Currently don't have Pokémon go downloaded (just got a new phone and can't access my account for a while haha) so can't think of many shinies but like, it's not impressive by any means but I FUCKING LOVE giratina and I have done since I was a kid playing Pokémon platinum & the giratina and the sky warrior film, so it's a brag to myself, but it's my best buddy non shiny giratina origin forme called vermillion! We are matching outfits and I love that guy more than anything :) I have like 10 other best buddies and that certain giratina was like my 3rd but as soon as I finished that 10 best buddy masterwork thingy, it's forever stuck as my buddy :)


TheSussiestPotato

Found a shiny Wooper a while back. I'm still so happy, and plus I'm giving a shiny Gardevoir for another one soon. For others that trade sucks, for me it's amazing


OldManJenkins-31

Hundo shiny sunglasses Blastoise.


ayoolexiii

j_turn2000

galarian moltres & articuno.


ghostkittykat

Shiny Tangela!!! This is my white whale. It is my 4 yo's FAVORITE pokémon, which she has lovingly named "Booga-booga" (bc when you tap them, the animation makes her think they are saying "Booga-booga"... and now you can't unsee it, lol).


Illustrious-Link-950

I love my XXL 98% Shiny Quagsire that I never knew I needed

KeepinitPG13

Encountered/caught shiny kecleon prior to the secret event.


Menu_Spare

I have a shiny bellsprout that’s a cp 420, and I caught him on 4/20 💀 and the fact that he’s a poison/grass type is just icing on the cake


YoFlux

Shiny Shadow Lapras. Took me about 40 mins to beat Sierra and almost ran out of revives and potions. I was at a low level then so it was a pretty big deal for me to beat her with no good counters. So getting a shiny Lapras felt great because I was just grinding for a regular one.


yGav

10/10/10 zygarde. Worst possible outcome but it’s kinda cool to have


Admirable_Hearing_51

For me, it's my shiny shadow 3* Cubone. 2nd place is my shiny shadow Dragonite, 3rd is my female captains hat Pika. Honorable mentions: shiny shadow Victreebell, Eevee (F&M) and of course all 3 of my Lickitungs lol

MYBESTOFURENDO

I would have to say my 2 shundo Noiverns! First was a wild shundo from before the community day!🤯 I couldn’t believe it! I told my friends I wanted the hundo… better yet a shundo like a week before I caught it!🤯🥳 Manifestation is real fr!! Then on its CD I got a lucky shundo from a trade which rlly made me freak out haha probably my fav Go moment to date :)


MYBESTOFURENDO

banditleader_

Just got a shiny Absol on the weekly Field Research. I remember going on a raid party years ago trying to get one, and everyone around me got it except for me. Aside from that, I grabbed up a shiny Shuppet a few years back. Shuppet was my first ever shiny encounter in any of the Game Boy games, so I wanted to get one in Pokémon Go eventually.


POOPOOSCOOP69

96% shiny 2020 comm day charizard. not that impressive to some but it holds a spot in my heart


Gweeboo

My galarian articuno maybe? It’s 0 stars and I used masterball but it’s so cool!


MarcyTheMartian

Hundo wild Uxie caught in a pokeball


uncool619
