How many shiny Pokémon do you have?

[Dr. Villager]

Ok,I don't know How to do a poll yet,but I wanted ask all of you, how many shiny Pokémon have you captured legitimately?Me,0. I only have hacked shiny Pokémon.But how much do you have?Legitimately.

 

[Umbrepom]

I have caught one.
A Shiny Snubbull in X, and I love it.

 

[Jenneta]

I have caught 3 legit ones. One if Platinum that was a shiny Fearow, a shiny Sandslash in Pokemon X, and a shiny Petili (sp?) in Pokemon Y. Any of my other shinies I have Action Replayed shiny (either by using a code to mark them shiny, or a code to have any wild pokemon in the wild be shiny). o3o. (Yeah yeah, go ahead, hate me, but to each their own, eh?) xD.

 

[Shiny Magnezone]

As of January 24th of 2014, I have 9 of them throughout the games. 3 of them are stuck in the 4th Generation, and my other 6 have been obtained in the current generation.

Found in the wild:
Magnezone (was a Magnemite in Ruby), Weezing (caught in Diamond), Exeggutor (was an Exeggcute in FireRed, and a Safari Zone shiny as well), Bisharp (was a Pawniard in Y), and Beartic (found a Horde Encounter as a Cubchoo in X)

Hatched shinies:
Phione, Whimsicott, Beheeyem, and Arcanine (all of them were hatched as their lower forms in X)

 

[Paleo]

Not counting the 'standard' shinies and event shinies, I have eight shinies spread across three games. These are a shiny Dustox in Sapphire, a shiny Gastrodon in Diamond and shiny Chandelure, Nidoqueen, Nidoking, Spoink, Manectric and Blastoise.

This has proved to be a productive generation
I caught all of these in their unevolved stage, except for Nidorino, Wartortle and Lampent.

Edit: Just found a shiny Luvdisc :3
I wasn't even chain fishing, just casually took out my Old Rod to find a Heart Scale or two and there it was: yellow Luvdisc. It didn't have a Heart Scale, but I'm fine with this, too

 

[Silverwynde]

Let's see:
shiny Tangela, found on Treasure Beach in LeafGreen
shiny Roselia, bred for on Emerald
shiny Palkia, soft reset for on Pearl
shiny male Combee, soft reset for while looking for a female on Pearl
shiny Giratina, soft reset for on Pearl
shiny Spiritomb, soft reset for on Pearl
shiny Voltorb x 2, chained on my husband's copy of Diamond
shiny Skitty x 2, from two different chains on Pearl
shiny Elekid--now an Electivire--chained on Pearl
shiny Lugia, soft reset for on SoulSilver
shiny Golett, Masuda Method on Black
shiny Geodude, random encounter on Pearl while looking for a No Guard Machop.

That's all I can think of off the the top of my head. Pearl apparently loved me and just gave me shines left and right. Gen IV was quite kind.

...as for the GTS rescues, let's not go there... >_<

 

[Peaceful Giraffe]

Shiny Snubbull in Y, shiny Floette in Y, and a shiny Rattatta in SoulSilver.

 

[蜃気楼]

I have a shiny Farfetched in heart gold. The surprise when I got it, was like a kamikaze attack. It got me by surprise.

 

[Muur]

If Gyrados doesn't count

Exegcute in LG
Dugtrio in Diamond

those games - as well as those two - are long lost now though

If not catching counts, Dratini from W2 and the shiny you can get from an egg in Crystal. I got Cleffa.

 

[Plush]

The shiny Gyarados in lake of rage...

Never even seen a shiny in the wild except that stationary thing

 

[Almonds]

Excluding the standard shinies and event shinies, I have a few.

Shiny Blitzle, Whimsicott, and Mawile from the GTS back in Black2. I gave the Mawile to my friend who plans on using Mega Mawile.

Shiny Cranidos that I hatched. It took me 1000+ eggs to get this guy.

 

[snarferman]

Shiny Probopass, Kingdra, Poliwrath, Exploud, and Umbreon

The Umbreon only took me 7 eggs to hatch. :3

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I have a shiny Onix in Silver and a shiny Jumpluff in Y. That's it. ;_;

 

[Alolan Slowpoke]

Seventeen legitimate ones, and a fake one I got from a friend.

 

[Storm Silverwing]

That very much depends on how one defines "legitimate". I shamelessly save-scum so that most of my legendaries are shiny, does that count? If so, I have around twelve. For shinies that I wasn't intending to find, I currently only have one.

 

[Jyo]

2 so far, had 4 - but I Wonder Traded two away (Poliwhirl & Gulpin)

In White 2 - shiny Mienshao, level 100, found her as a Mienfoo in Black 2. Found her while training my team for the Elite 4, running into the grass on Route 23... first wild encounter of the day! I got a shiny surprise from my (back then) #1 favorite Pokemon, around February 10, 2013 - right now I'm waiting for PokemonBank to be released in USA so I can transfer her over to my Y team. edit: My shiny Mienshao is now at her new home in my Pokemon Y, via PokeTransfer and PokemonBank.

In Y - shiny Luxio, level 30, found her in Friend Safari, going to use her in my Cat Team, found her on January 16th 2014.

[Metabee]

I have five. Wild shiny Mightyena and wild shiny Dustox from Emerald, wild shiny Raticate from LeafGreen, hatched a shiny Drilbur in X and also caught a shiny Nosepass.

 

[Drakon]

Red Gyarados in HG and a shiny Pidgey in Silver. I am not going to even attempt shinys in any later generatikns. EV training is hard enough!

 

[Silverwynde]

I have a new one to add: Druddigon in X. Found it at a Friend Safari. I'm still kinda stunned. (Had it been a Golurk, I might have fainted on the spot.)
