    My first shiny was a shinx in Scarlet on like, the first route. Then, later on in my journey, I accidentally killed a shiny Hawlucha…😢

    As for pokemon go, my first shiny was a Gible that I noticed when pulling out my phone to check after getting a table at a resteraunt.

    I think my first shiny non static was pineco in go but my first shiny from mainline was kricketune from legends arceus

    (My favorite shiny experience was catching a shiny alolan graveler and then 10 min later catching a shiny abomasnow in violet)

    Technically, my first shiny was from one of the shiny events in Sword/Shield. As for the first outside of events, either a Paras in Legends: Arceus or a Weedle in Go.

    As for notable shiny experiences, I have four:

    First, in my first playthrough of Scarlet, when it first released, I caught a regular Azurill and decided to have an Azumarill on my team. However, I was getting impatient with evolving it (as you do with friendship evolutions… even though it was still early in the game) when I found a shiny Marill. Let's just say that the shiny stayed on the team.

    Second, also in Scarlet, I encountered a shiny Rellor. It was the first time I saw it and its shiny, so it was a nice and certainly hilarious surprise.

    Third, once again in Scarlet, this time in the Indigo Disk, while I was grinding BP in the Coastal Biome during Christmas Eve, I found a shiny Galarian Slowpoke. One caught Pokemon and discussion with friends on what to name it later, and Jesus was sent to my boxes.

    Finally, this time when I returned to my copy of Ultra Sun, I was absolutely shocked when I encountered a shiny Crustle after playing the Ultra Warp Ride for a little (I didn't know that shiny chances were increased to, at minimum, 1/100 for non-legendary and non-Ultra Beast Pokemon).

    it was a shiny Trumbeak in pokemon sun, I liked randomly doing encounters on route 8 to see what I got, and somehow I knew what shinies were, I closed my eyes to see what a randomly found and my brother blurted out that it was shiny, I took that Toucannon all the way to the elite 4 that I couldn't beat because I was 7 and didn't understand anything, and because of my small and dumb at the time brain I TRADED IT AWAY because I "wanted someone else to be happy" LIKE WHAT?!?!? the one who got it probably released it right after as they probably thought it was hacked or something, I am still mad I did that and I want to get a shiny toucannon in the terarium so I could have my funny looking nice shiny looking bi flag looking toucannon back

    My second shiny was much cooler than my first. My first was some early flier in Johto. Then I went back to gen 1 to catch a shiny Zapdos.
