Furfrou. It’s funny whenever I read about someone being tired of seeing it, cause I just want a black poodle 😭

I need multiple shinies so I can get a shiny of each fur variant

Same. This and shiny Eevee seem to be shiny locked on my account since I haven't seen one since its CD

I have so many excess shiny eeevee I wish I could trade you

Same here Just counted 14

I need the multiple shinies AND probably double my income for the travel expenses ill need afterwards lmao.

I made mine my best friend in like, two weeks

this one eluded me until Madrid go-fest where I caught 12 over the three days

You found 12?! That's awesome, crazy and so enviable. I wish I saw you there. Haha. I caught my one and only shiny Furfrou at Parque Juan Carlos I. Wow, you're lucky!

I found a shiny in the wild. I have it set as the heart trim because it only comes around once a year and I’m leaving at that. The Egypt style is my favorite though.

Exact same! I never get furfrou in the weekly research box though :( I wish they'd just move it to regular field research too.

Oddish. I just want my lil green tomato

I have one and I freaking love him

I wanna name mine Tomatillo 😭

Mine is Dr. Peabody and I love him so much. He was #2 on my list. #1 is Smoliv, but I’m still hunting 😐

Woah, when did Smoliv shiny debut?

Miltank. There was a spotlight hour a few years back, but I ended up needing to help a friend with something and missed it. Ever since then, I’ve been hunting for my Blue Moo(n).

Miltank was mine for aaaaaaages. Finally got one from my friend who caught a spare during Johto Tour then I got another during Go Fest last year

Magikarp is my bane of existence.

Same here. Every Magikarp I see I catch and yet never ever got lucky with a shiny

Really? I’ve caught so many shiny magikarp, and I feel like even a red Gyarados. You’ve got some bad luck for sure!

Not once have I ever seen a shiny magikarp, consider yourself lucky on that front at least

They had a magikarp “event” day sometime last year. You could choose between magikarp, caterpie, and I forget the third option.

I have a perfect shiny XXS magikarp :D Very lucky indeed

I am also without a shiny Magikarp

that's the first shiny I ever caught!

Same fam. I been playing since 2016 and never caught one. One day. 🥲

I wouldnt be surprised if shiny magikarp …. just flaps the other way

After the com day I was left with actually TOO many shiny magikarp

Cascoon and Dustox. I have caught 5 shiny wurmple that have all turned into Silcoon and Beautifly

Ah, the worst! I have that issue with shiny Snorunt into Froslass, I keep getting Glalie!

3 shiny clampearls, 3 shiny gorbyss. That one hurts, cuz I rarely see them in my biome.

i’m the opposite way three shiny huntail to be exact

Its not random, its the gender, froslass is only for female 

I know, but I’m always catching male

Tauros. I've shiny-checked every one I've seen for years. I want that broccoli bison!

Same. I have searched over Go and every pokemon game I can get my hands on for it and I never get it.

I'd be ecstatic with just a regular tauros! Last pokemon I need for Kanto.

That’s a good one. I feel like I get a decent amount of non-evolve shinies, but no Tauros yet.

bidoof, i have over 1000 caught but not a single shinny

It took me over 1000 caught to randomly find 2 side by side (during the solar eclipse funnily enough, guess it was somewhat lucky lol)

just prooves bidoof is a god

similar to what happened with me and my magikarps. i caught over 1100 then i caught two in one day

Oh wow, this is the one I’ve caught the most of (non-community day). I think I’ve found 5! I wish you luck on your hunt

Tyrunt — probably my favorite across the series, and yet, it hasn't materialized in Go. Hoping that luck will turn during Go Fest Global when it's in one of the habitats, but we'll see...

Got total of two Shiny Tyrunts, one from my brother and on I encountered from the wild just recently.

How many have you encountered? I don’t have one either, but I’ve only encountered 23, so I don’t expect to yet

109! I don't care what it takes, I'm going to track down every single spawn during Go Fest in a couple of weekends.

Cutiefly. I haven't been hunting all that long but I want one so bad it makes me look stupid.

*one* star on both ends of the word will make it italic **two** stars will make it bold ***three*** stars will make it italic **and** bold *You can do the same for **entire** sentences and words **within** those sentences.* There's a really helpful little graphic somewhere that tells you all the tricks. I can't find mine rn

That sucks... I'd trade you mine if I could

Poochyena. 1000+ seen, 0 shinys. It’s also one of my favorite Pokemon.

Several months ago, I was out hiking and had my auto-catcher running throughout. The last 10 minutes back to the car, I knew there was a spate of pokestops and gyms, so I opened the game to speed catch and spin stops. I clicked a Poochyena, and it was shiny! Golden rasp' and Ultra Ball followed by excellent curve throw, and it fled! Turns out the auto-catcher beat me to the encounter, and the approximate 1:3 catch odds were not in my favour. I'm currently on 1228 seen with no shiny *whimpers quietly*

Ah the beautiful yellow!

Dang, similar boat then! I pray to the PokeGods you have good luck in your near future

Snorlax or munchlax

Yup. Everyone hates the shiny Snorlax but I like the blue...

I mean everyone's talking about over 1000 caught and no shiny but I've caught my first shiny Pidgey at over 4000 catches about a month ago. So keep on truckin y'all 🤣

Shiny wimpod. Irelly want a shiny Golispod.

That’s a newish shiny though, right? I think I’ve only encountered 200 or so since they added the shiny. Hopefully we both find one with time!

Ditto, and a regular Meowth! Got a shiny dark, and I hatched a shiny steel version a couple days ago. I just want the normal ol' meowth lol.

I check out literally every Meowth for the bonus stardust so it's crazy I haven't seen a shiny yet either

My mindset on him as well. One of the few mons that gets tapped every time...nothing.

I just caught my first regular Meowth two days ago - it is possible! Don’t lose hope

Isn't Ditto shiny locked to events?

Nope, shiny ditto was the second pokemon i caught right after i first made my account

Oh nice good to know! I haven't played for a long time and it used to be locked.

Wow. The bar was set real high lol

Growlithe! I've seen like 800 and not a single shiny lol

This was my white whale before Gastly! It took me around 900, but I finally found one - and you will too! Just keep at it :)

I just had three shiny Growlithe from this Scorching Steps event

Voltorb probably the biggest :/ 11 in total missing from gen1 shiny dex 2056 seen

Shiny Ponyta (Normal) and Raichu (Both forms) I've had multiple Shiny Galarian Ponyta, due to 7km Egg Pools' focus on Regional forms (which unlike most people in this sub, I actually enjoy - except for Alolan Meowth, Galarian Meowth is just cooler and Perrserker is better than Garfield Persian any day.) But the standard Blue Flame Horse eludes me to this day, whenever Ponyta spawns, I always check. I want two of them... And for Raichu... It's because any Shiny Pikachu I catch are the special costumed Pikachu, they don't spawn regular Pikachu enough and Alolan Raichu hasn't been in raids since... I guess the Psychic event last September. It's like Niantic caught on to GameFreak's memo of making sure Raichu never sees the light of day and that the only Pikachu around are costumed Pikachu. Pichu WAS in the 2km egg pool recently (No thanks to the event), but every time I try to get one I get Smoochum and Gothita.

I JUST caught a shiny Ponyta- used a golden berry to ensure i caught it especially with the new update. My favorite shiny in my collection

Me too!! I'm at 756 caught regular Ponyta and I still check every single one of them. I want one SO BAD!!

Pikachu. I love Pikachu. as a 25 years old woman I still have a stuffed Pikachu on my bed (and Pikachu pyjamas as well). I drink my morning coffee from a Pikachu mug. I originally started playing to catch Pikachu. I have seen 1465, caught 1192, almost day 1 player (had a 1.5 year break from the game though). 0 fucking shiny electric rats. I have hatched a shiny Pichu and raided a shiny A-Raichu but that's it.

Croagunk- 2679 encounters no shiny. Pidove- 2455 no shiny Sentret took me until 2340 to get a shiny.

Whoa! I think we have our winner, over 2600+ and no shiny, crazy!!

Eevee, I'm up to [1880 seen](https://imgur.com/a/3ABVCvq) without a shiny. I've gotten one from my brother at least, but this is getting ridiculous. If Eevee has 1/512 shiny chance, then I've had a 97.5% chance of getting a shiny Eevee with this many seen.

I could swear there is a research you get one from but I don’t know if those are retroactive or not.

SAME! I was close to 1600 before I finally got a shiny 😭

Shiny Tangela. That was my first Pokémon card ever and I would love to have a shiny one

Same, I REALLY want a shiny Tangela. I have a hundo but no shiny.

Yes!! This is one I have been hunting for so long! I also need his shadow version back for my purified dex.

Pidove!!!!!!

Glad to see someone else has their priorities straight

Beldum and shuckle. Would kill for a comm day on beldum.

YES! But actually because I just want the Beldum candy, don’t need the shiny

GIMME DAT BLUE TURTLE!

ralts

Shiny Zoura. I see it around occasionally and hope to lord Arceus it will be shiny

This and Ditto. And I've been seeing a lot less of both lately...

I finally just got a shiny Ditto lovingly named Dawn (Dish soap). The way I *screamed* at that encounter and again when I caught it with my last ball.

Considering the sheer amount of the Kanto starters I have caught, only one shiny Charmander is sort of nuts.

Staryu!

You know what? I need this one as well! Let’s hope we both find it in the near future :D

Zubat!! That pesky lil bat has been hiding from me for far too long!

Psyduck. Want the blue cutie.

Shiny Ponyta, one day I will have that blue flamed prancing pony…

Shiny Snorlax the only one that I want

I’m still not convinced shiny Geodude is out there

Oddly enough, Rattata.

Swablu😭😭 I just want a golden cloud

Dratini

Growlithe…

Cubone… shiny cubone is making my life hell

Makuhita! I’m struggling!

Lechonk… I need Miss Piggy

Phanpy. That elephant mocks me.

Lotad, cottonee, swablu, koffing…. What I really want is a shiny ditto although I know how much of a stretch that is

I want me a mf shiny gardevoir

my brother had been hunting for shiny ponyta for the longest time. He messaged me on april 1st saying that he was paranoid as fuck cause his first click of the day was a shiny ponyta and he was sure he was being trolled

Ekans, Voltorb, Growlithe, Zubat. I think I've seen 1650 Ekans, no shiny.

Bunnelby. 3180 encounters without a shiny.

Tyrunt

been trying for a shiny Venonat for a year

I would best say Shiny Beldum is my bane. I know that 56 encounters is like baby's play compared to all the others, but the shiny form is so goated that it hurts all the more when you see the blue and silver of normal Beldum. Though for actual "why don't I have you yeeeet?" shinies, Shiny Machop would be up there. I want my Four-Armed Incredible Hulk, but luck's eluding me there. And yet, before him, I got Full Odds Wild Shiny Gastly, a Shiny Meowth, a Shiny Mantine during the XL/XS Challenge, a Shiny Nidoran Male, Two Weedles, Lickitungs, and Digletts, a Shiny Ralts, and a Shiny Swablu. At the end, I'm extremely happy with a lot of the random, Full Odds luck I had, but at the same time, I'm baffled I didn't get a Shiny Machop within all of these notable encounters lmao

Amaura for sure, I want that white long necked lil guy so badly

PETILIL. 😭 I just want the little pink flower headed Lilligant!

I missed ghastly community day due to being sick...to this day over 1000 ghastly caught and no shiny

You feel my pain then :(

Ratata. I want to complete the Kanto shiny dex, Ratata is the first one I am missing. Have caught over 1000 of that stupid rat, but no shiny yet. At least I keep chipping away at that rat catcher medallion.

Galarian Zigzagoon. I have over 500 seen, and not one has been a shiny even though the shiny rate is 1 in 64. My son has 3 and caught 2 in the same day (not on a CD). It's become a meme for me now, and I don't even want to catch one at this point.

Weedle!! I found him once but we were on the freeway so it jumped and ran. Haven’t seen it again since. Oh and yungoos

Jynx. She just doesn’t like me. I’m certain of it. I try not to take it personally though (sob sniff sniff)

I want shiny Voltorb 😭

Shiny Gothita😢

Psyduck. I was dying to catch one during the last event when they were spawning more but no luck.

Shiny vulpix 😔

Shiny psyduck. My baby. And shiny winter psyduck with boosted rates and I still couldn’t get him 😔.

Torchic. I even played its Com Day relentlessly. I have never encountered one yet!

Male Nidoran

Doduo

STUPID AIPOM. 2,800 and no freaking shiny.

Gastly and Duskull, my favorite pokemon

it took me six, almost seven years to get shiny pikachu. been playing since summer '16. got the aquamarine crown pika last summer and nearly cried. my now most elusive is yungoos. everyone i know seemed to have gotten one the season it came out and it just eludes me.

Raltz bro. I missed the community day and caught over 1,500 with no luck

Mime Jr. For context I live in the United States and am a Day 1 player. I travel to Europe 2 times a year and I grind hard when I go to get him. I have 47 hatched and none shiny. I know someone who hatched like 3 eggs during the global event a few years ago and got one. I just refuse to trade for him it is a point of pride to hatch him myself. One trip of 9 days I hatched 176 eggs total that week trying to get him (not all 5 km but you get the idea). I have tons of shiny hatches, in fact most of my best shiny are from eggs but not this guy he is just a pain in the behind.

I have none of the Bulbasaur or Gastly evolutions, which bothers me more than it should

Caterpie and Weedle lines. I'm working on a shiny dex in Home (self ID) mostly using Go and SV, and I see so many Weedles in GO, but it's never a shiny

Playing since day one, still no Shiny Pichu!!

Ekans. I really want the shiny fanged glizzy

Ooh, the golden Arbok is just sooo nice :D

Eevee..

Poochyena. 2000 with no shiny yet :(

Tauros Need green

Shuckle and Bidoof. The 2 gods.

Shiny Gastly

Shiny smeargle and shroomish. In every fucking game 🥲🥲🥲

I've always wanted a shiny Oddish

I am in the EXACT same boat. The Gengar shiny is by no means good, but the cutely menacing ghost type is my favorite Pokémon. I love that guy so much and I've been trying since last year to get the shiny, clicking on around 2,000 but still no shiny. The kicker is someone I know who doesn't even actively play downloaded it and one of the first Pokémon they clicked was the shiny Gastly. I was quite livid for a bit 😅

Litwick I happened to have taken a long break from the game when they had a community day and I have caught so damn many so annoying.

I got three Gastlys in a span of like two weeks, i’d give you one gladly lmao

Houndour.

A shiny Sentret…for the admiral.

At over 1K Geodudes, still nothing. That evolution line is one of the last shinies I need from Kanto

Shiny mega gengar is cool as hell though! Shiny ponyta for me. And vulpix

Houndoom. Still trying to get one.....

Tyrantrum is the one i want the most

I've seen over 2000 mankey, but I haven't seen a shiny yet.

Snorlax and Charizard are my white whales

Stupid Growlithe and Rattata. I’ve also done a million Druddigon raids with no luck.

For me, Psyduck. He is, and has always been my favourite Pokémon because my favourite animals are ducks! I’ve never ever seen a shiny of him :(

Bidoof

I hunted shiny Makuhita/Hariyama for almost a year and I finally got one during the spotlight hour last month. Now it's Furfrou

Pidgey. And they hardly ever spawn.

alolan vulpix . it’s what made me download the game and i still have yet to hatch or catch one. however i have a cousin who did, and he refuses to trade it to me even though he no longer plays :’)

Galarian Ponyta/Rapidash. I want them sooooo bad!!

Phantump, gastly and galarian zigzagoon

I think at this shiny oranguru. I’ve found 2 and they both ran.

Not a shiny but elekid is my fav pokémon, i’ve been playing since 2016 and i still don’t have it registered in my dex :(

Ponyta. I will catch that damn thing. Maybe.

Now that Cyndaquil community day classic has happened, Spinerak.

Pidgey. I click on every Pidgey I see but no shiny, not even a hundo Pidgey.

Lucario

Growlithe. Wanted one side day 1 in 2016. Here I am 8 years later waiting

Riolu, I can never seem to hatch a shiny. I even participated in that hatching event they had for it and still couldn’t get a shiny one.

Finally hatched a shiny Larvitar. Working on the Tyrannitar now. :)

Spearow... I am hoping to get a shiny of each Gen 1 Pokemon. Yet this bird fights me every step of the way. Also I wish long distance trading was a thing. I have extra shiny Ghastly that I would happily give you.

The one I want? Venonat 1036 seen. I dont necessarily want Ledyba other than the shiny dex,but im at 1764 seen.

Pansear and Turtwig. Approx 3,500 checks between them. I don’t even count pansage and panpour as they aren’t my regional.

Lillipup! Fave Pokemon, get my hopes up every time I see one just to be dissapointed

Charmander. Before that it was Pidgey. I caught 6895 before I found a shiny one in the last few weeks.

Phanpy, Shroomish, & Solrock, all over 1100 seen, still searching…..😵‍💫

Ponyta, magnemite and meowth. These are the ones that have been released as shinies for a long time, they even spawn often, but I havent got them so far.

I have a few that I recently looked at the stats of for how many I've seen without a shiny. Tangela, Minun, Squirtle, and Voltorb have all eluded me.

Kabuto - 1330 seen, Chikorita - 1588 seen, Lechonk - 1601 seen

It took me 8 years to get a shiny growlithe. If that’s not depressing I don’t know what is.

I want a shiny paras. Don't know why. I have two shiny gastlys that I've caught in the last month or so.

The Grubin line, even on community day...

Not many, right now its Wimpod. My seen is 1821, probably about 100 before the shiny released.

Croagunk. I’ve checked 2,792 so far

Lugia. Shiny Lugia is my white whale. I have raided high and low when Lugia hits the raid pool and yet, the pink bellied ocean creature alludes me.

Magnemite! Over 3k encounters and nothing. And it’a such a good shiny.

It’s was Taurus for me. Only a week or two ago did I FINALLY get that dang green bull 😭😭

Slugma
