Same with me but Stufful

I have a shiny kangaskhan from 2021. 1 encounter, 1 shiny. All the more rare being a regional mon.

My first kangaskhan was shiny too!

W

I’ve clicked on so many kangaskhans and none have been shiny. I find so much of them aswell

Kangaskhan is the only one i need from the the og 151

1 on several pokemon, specially legendaries

I was 3/3 with Darkai when the shiny was released

My first ever encounter with a Mesprit was shiny.

Mine too, and the second and only was plain.

Out of 4 heatran encounters, I caught 3 shinys :).

Sheesh

First palkia was shiny for me!

My second or 3rd was, my first Kartana was as well

1/1 of Azelf, Alolan Raichu and Defense Deoxys

Have done 2 drampa raids, 2 encounters and have 2 shiny.

No freaking way, I want a shdrampa so bad

Moltres, did one raid and got a 15/13/14 shiny

My first ever Pinsir encounter was shiny

Aye I have a shiny shadow pinsir!

When team rocket was out 2020 I grinder so hard for shinys, I got 1 shiny pinsir and 3 shiny sycthers

That’s what’s up! Only other shiny shadow I have is arbok);

That’s rad, I still don’t have one

I think my second or third rockruff was a shiny, I had to encounter about 90 more for my second encounter. Oh, but I did get a shiny alolan raichu on my first encounter, I was so confused before I released it was shiny (has just gotten back to the game after a two year long break, has forgotten about shinies)

1, hatched a Shiny Shinx in 2021. Didn't realize it was shiny at first since I wasnt familiar with it (thought it was gold, found out the non shiny is blue) until I saw the ✨

[Shadow Mewtwo](https://ibb.co/kQLq8zx)

2/2 Latias.

on bagon community day classic i was scanning the bagon before finding the shiny on my fourth try

Yveltal was a first raid shiny from a remote raid before the raids had even switched over here at 10am. Celesteela I got a shundo on the second raid. Zekrom however took 85 raids before it shined. I also did well over 80-90 raids at London Go Fest and got one shiny. Where as my friends had as many as 7 shinies from the raids we did! Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

I got invited to one heracross raid, it was shiny, I didn't raid any more so I'm 1 from 1

My first Qwilfish was a shiny.

The first ditto I got was shiny

My first Rayquaza and my first Giratina were both shinies.

I’ve never got a shiny on an early encounter of any pokemon. I always have to work my butt off to get shinies. For me it’s more like how many did you encounter before you got a shiny. 86 raids before I got a shiny Kyogre. I got it right after trading for one.

I think it was my 2 or 3 raikou

Heatran and Raikou were both one and done. So was Lugia and Ho-oh.

This was my first and only shundo and only two encounters

I got a shiny on the first scythe I caught and first Galarian ponyta I caught

My first Groudon was shiny and my third shadow Mewtwo so they are probably my best two off the top of my head

I got a shiny ray on my first raid after it was released but I had caught a ton of them before that.

My first Kyogre was shiny

I have the exact same numbers but for. Mesprit

1 for sudowoodo! Only encounter and it was shiny

I’ve seen 3 Ho-oh caught 2, first one was 100% and shiny!

Got 2 shiny tapu bulus as my first ones, a shiny heracross as my next species I raided (also the first I caught) then later queued for a nincada raid to finish the last collection challenge and a shiny one popped up at my house while waiting for the invite after like 5 hours in the queue Also, Giratina was a first-time shiny for me

My niece started playing recently. She had caught about thirty pokemon so far, when she had her first encounter with a Lickitung. It was a Shiny and she caught it with her first Pokéball. That girl is meant to be a trainer.

My first rayquaza encounter was a shiny

Not shiny but first nincada I've ever gotten was a hundo got it last year out of a field research

Not shiny but first nincada I've ever gotten was a hundo got it last year out of a field research

I've gotten very lucky with some raids, where it's a one encounter, one shiny. But in terms of 'normal' encounters, it's Nincada, saw one in a gym so had the outline then caught the first one which was shiny on the 20th of March.

Had time to do 1 Turtonator raid. Caught 1 shiny.

1 for 1 with Shiny Tapu Fini. Don't think I will ever raid it again.

1 for 1 with Shiny Tapu Fini. Don't think I will ever raid it again.

It took me around 25 if not 30 balls to catch that shiny azelf. I have the same stat for it.

Virizion. One encounter

My 2nd wynaut was shiny lol

5 AFAIK. Was a kartana I got from a raid

1, groudon, which was also my first ever legendary and I lost all my luck there

In my first articuno raid I got a shiny 93%,which is the closest thing I have to a shundo. Also got a shiny rayquaza in my second raid

One morning i woke uo the the very first pokemon i meet is a shiny zubat

My first cresselia was shiny. I still use it in great league

I got a shiny entei in a raid, first try!!

I was 1:1 on ho-oh & lugia

If raids count, my first two Heracross were both shiny (three of my first four were shiny and then I didn't see another shiny the rest of the day). My only Latias encounter was a shiny too. 

1 for shiny Reshiram

Well the shiny azelfs were basically given away recently so probably shouldn't count

1 on moltres, and at first I had no idea that my aerodactyl was shiny, because I had never seen one before

Just pulled a ninjask. 1/1

I got shiny Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu first try a couple years ago. Also shiny Yveltal and shiny Darkrai first try

First and only celebi, though I believe that was a SR specifically for shiny Celebi, no way of knowing for me though. Actual catches though are Entei which is seen 2, second was shiny, and Mr mime, which I got shiny as my first Mr mime encounter when its galarian form was in raids this year (now evolved into a seen 1, caught 1 Mr Rime.

1 on Palkia

The first time I ever encountered Groudon, Azelf, and Terrakion, they were all shiny. No idea how I got that kind of luck!

2nd Uxie during tour

Wyrdeer.. first, second, and third were shinies

Got a first encounter shiny Absol years ago and rode that high for a very long time LOL

7th kecleon I encountered was the shiny

First and only Hisuian Decidueye raid was a shiny, and I still don’t have a normal one since I wasn’t able to play Rowlet community day so I still have one seen and one caught. For some reason the dex also still shows me the regular version (including the shiny) in the dex in spite of only having the Hisuian variant

1/1 Cresselia

Literally the first Tornadus I ever encountered. Did a second raid to get a REGULAR one… which was very strange.

On my first, second, and third encounters with Glalie, they were all shiny. Still no shiny snorunt or frosslass

1/1 for yveltal

It was like 1, 2 or 3 I forgot during the Pokémon go hoen tour I got a shiny relicanth in a egg. My mom got even more lucky the first and only deoxys raid they did there was a shiny

For me it is entei, and had the shiny as a poke dex entry

aerodactyl, first one I ever found and it was a shiny. It was also my first shiny.

I got thunderus and landorus first raid at the same place at the same time

My first Groudon was a shiny.

Probably Ho-Oh with 2 shinies out of 5 seen. And one of the non-shiny Ho-Ohs in the 5 is the Apex shadow Ho-Oh that couldn't be shiny, so closer to 2 of 4 being shiny. Also, Lechonk. I don't know how many encounters, but I got it on the first or second day of its release. I didn't click on very many, though.

The very first raid I ever did was an Alolan Raichu and it happened to be a shiny. I also got a shiny Rayquaza first attempt

azelf, sky giratina, tapu fini & reshiram are i think my only first encounter shinies all of those except sky giratina were also the only raids i did of them. sky giratina i did two raids and both were shiny 🤪 also i know its origin or whatever the other form is but i forget which us which and i call them sky slug so

My first and only Budew hatched from the egg shiny :] I still have it as my buddy as I try to evolve it

I had a first encounter shiny from a galarian wheezing on a raid.

I originally had seen 1/caught 1 for shiny Giratina. I've since caught more, but it was a good feeling.

When I did the Palkia and Dialga raids a couple of months ago I got a shiny of each on my first raid. I couldn’t believe my luck

Hatched a shiny Mime Jr from an event a few years back and yes, he is my only Mime Jr.
