    I'm gonna talk about my first shiny on my current PoGo account. I started playing one day before the Chansey Community Day which I didn't even know was happening and my first shiny was also my first hatch—it was a Happiny from the Chansey Community Day! I still have her and I love her very much.

    My first Shiny was way back in Pokemon Silver. It was when it was new. I remember getting a Shiny Zubat from Union cave but I also remember a Shiny Hoppip. I know I shiny hunted quite a few Pokemon back in the day.

    Litwick in Pokémon Go (Now Chandlure)

    Applin in Violet (Now Hydrapple)

    My newest is a full odds Bonsly I found randomly.

    Please don't rub it in my face. Chandelure is my 3rd favorite Pokémon and I've always wanted a shiny of it in PoGo. Alas, I started playing the game again in February 2024, so I missed out on the Litwick Community Day. But every single event that featured Litwick, Halloween events, GO Fest 2024, GO Tour Unova, and even just seasons where it regularly spawns, I miserably failed to get a shiny Litwick. And seeing shiny Chandelure in gyms brings out my burning jealousy.

    berry the shiny raticate is lost to time as my old switch broke. Even though he was trash, I loved him.

    My first Shiny was a full-odds Hoppip in Scarlet! As for other games:
    Sword: (Shiny Charm) Pelipper
    Legends: Arceus: (full odds) Roselia
    GO: Caterpie (or Bidoof, I don't remember which came first)
    Quest: Jigglypuff

    I've only failed a couple of Shinies. First, a Tentacool that was too far away from me in Scarlet. I was using the Synchro Machine, so I had no chance of getting it. And just yesterday, I failed a Shiny Bidoof in Legends: Arceus. It was from a Mass Outbreak (or so I thought), so I returned to my save before starting the outbreak when it ran away. I got the first one, but the second one didn't appear. Turned out it just naturally spawned next to the outbreak.

    Don't make the same mistake I did. Even if you think it's from an outbreak, it doesn't hurt to save the moment you hear the sparkle. For all you know, it could be, say, a Starly that's just off-camera, and about to flee.
