resiram with a quick ball

got a shiny tentacool with one pokeball first try full health

I was 11 or some shit playing ruby and I'm at Groudon first move toss a pokeball at his balls, caught it 100% hp told everyone at school even the lunch ladies were on my dick.

This isn't my personal one but it's from a popular Let's Player i watch, it was an amazing catch and an amazing freak out www.youtube.com/watch?v=erFQF3hZ_RU.

For people wondering since it was a nest ball with a high level pokemon it has a lesser chance then catching it with a regular pokeball

I have 3 awesome instances
after more like months maybe years of not catching Rayquaza on Ruby, I decide to level up my Regice to 62 and teach it Ice Beam. so preparing myself with a ton of ultraballs I challenge Rayquaza, I hit the ice beam, gets it down to a trickle, FROZEN! I quick switch out to Manectric to which I also Paralyze it! Threw an ultraball, first attempt, GOT IT! I used my masterball on Groudon don't judge me.
These next 2 are combined, I used to have a shiny Torkoal and shiny Claydol, traded them both when I got them to Black, got a tornadus and Zorua for them (got my copy after the event stuff), worth it, cuz now I have Landorous and a Zorua! Besides they were kind of useless to battle with...

Now before i call bullshit, the frozen had to run out before you paralyzed it

I'm serious, somehow I was able to paralyze it while it was frozen, double whammy I guess.

that's physically impossible in pokemon games

well whatever, needless to say I got EXTREMELY lucky that round! Still have that Rayquaza, he's lvl 80, kicks a lot of ass!

or maybe I paralyzed it first then used Ice Beam... I don't remember exactly...

Shiny pokemon are only ceremonial in my opinion, if I caught one I would just store it in the boxes for it to waste it's life in.

lulz
it wasn't like I was collecting them either, I just happened to find them by chance both in Ruby. So I gave them to players who were collecting, I feel like a GGG.

my shiny Claydol

Nearly caught a lvl 70 Lugia at full health with a hacked-in Sports Ball

REGULAR

POKE

BALL.

YOU AIN'T SHIT.

It has the same catch rate as a Poke Ball. Or a Great Ball, I forgot. But still. LVL 70. LUGIA

Yes.

Dammit.

The catch didn't succeed though

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.

3 shakes on a full health lvl 70 Lugia with what essentially was a Poke Ball. More impressive than a Groudon at lvl 45 in yellow health

It was barely yellow, I was running out of pokemon. AND I ACTUALLY HAVE A GROUDON IN A POKE BALL TO SHOW FOR IT.

I later caught it at full health with a Cherish Ball. So fuck you

Playing through firered I just got the six pokeballs walk past 2 patches of grass and a shiny pidgy appears.
MFW I see the stars appear above the pokeball

Shiny Tauros on a heartgold nuzlocke run

I once ran into a shiny Bug-type in that same Ruby game, although it was in the point that you had no access to pokeballs at all beforehand.

I.E. it was right after you saved the professor.

Ouch that sucks... When I first had the original gold as a kid I encountered a shiny Rattatta early on, didn't understand what it was and slaughtered it like any other wild rat... I was so pissed when I found out I wasted a 1/8000 chance

The only other shiny pokemon I've ever seen I caught, it was a shiny Ponyta.

Basically the fire was blue, thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Did you evolve it? Shiny Rapidash has silver fire, not sure if better than blue or not but still awesome

Yep. It was in diamond, and I never really incorporate Fire types into my teams because I don't really like them and they're easily worked around.

Never used that Tauros... Was afraid of him fainting in the nuzlocke and I don't often use non evolving Pokemon, especially those that are normal type
