Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Shiny Pokemon Probabilities... Better in the Beginning?

I came across many a shiney in my time. But to this day one sticks out in my mind more speficially than the rest.

It was a lovley mid-March afternoon on Route 45. I had just gotten my Lapras, and I was eager to train it. The Geodudes/Gravelers in the aera were priticulary ripe, and I Surf'ed on them to the best of my advantage. I figured the extra defense would help soften the blow form Dragonite's Outrage. It was almost the perfect day, untill somehting happened: A Gravler apperared. This was no rare occurance, as Gravelers have been showing up all day. But this one was diffenernt, It sparkeled in the devine glow of pure gold. My mind was set, I had to have it, no matter the cost! I prepared my self mentally, everything checked out, Ultraballs: Check! A pokemon that wasent weak to Rock or ground: Check! Timer Ball (just in case): Checkeroo! The stage was set for an extravaganza that I could brag to all my friends with, for all time. I switchd out my Lapras for Umbreon, as I didn't want to K.O. the Gravler. Then, it selfdestructed.
All hope was lost. The battle was decided before it even started: Gravler had Selfdestruct in his move set, and now there was notheing I could do about it. With the chanses as they are, I will likely never see one agin.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go cry in the corner...
 
^And that's why I always carry at leased one Master Ball with me incase I run into a shiny with Selfdestruct/Explosion/Whirlwind/Roar.
 
Back in Saphire the Poochyena that attacked Birch was Shiny on my game.

It was the first shiny I had ever seen....AND I COULD NOT CATCH IT!!!!
 
I started with a Shiny Cyndaquil on my SS. I wasn't trying for it, was just trying to get a decent Nature. When I was flipping through the 3 choices, I saw that the Cyndaquil choice was a different color than the normal colors. So I choose Cyndaquil and sure enough it was shiny.
 
I could have swore that I battled a NPC in Leaf Green that had a shiny Pidgey once.

Cools stories, though. Seeing shiny Pokemon that you can't catch sucks. :/
 
ya- in plt I have encountered shinies, and it bites that it counts as "the chance".
 
So sad. Shame you didn't have the Poliwhirl with the Damp ability

When I was playing Pokemon Crystal, I was Soft Resetting for a shiny egg and out of 15 hatches, the results were, Shiny Magby [Didn't keep], Shiny Smoochum [Didn't keep], and the one I did keep was ... OMG shiny Igglybuff [did keep]. It has a 10% chance of the hatched Pokemon being shiny though.

Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal will give you a shiny if you get 10 in all IVs.
