Pic related, that's the graveler
>>26382162
Same story here, but the shiny was a Magcargo and the Graveler kill her with Self Destruct the turn I killed faggot's Claydol
I cry everynight
Never had a shiny fail. Hopefully it stays that way.
>>26382172
OP here bad luck man, This is the 2nd shiny I have failed and I failed a shiny Lunatone in white 2
>>26382162
That cunt Lucario killed a shiny Onix during my time there. I feel for ya, OP
>>26382289
I also failed a fucking Tauros (that shit is 1%) and Natu in Safari Zones (FireRed and Emerald)
Bad ones because Double Edge Tauros and Meme Xatu (Skill Swap, Seismic Toss and Night Shade => Fuck You Mega Mom) are dank as fuck ;_;

So glad you pointed that out, thought I might've gotten us confused.

Diamond was 10 years ago, anon. People who played it when they were 10 are 20 now.
All of my compation , i have known the exact same situation back in platinum , happily in that version the first pokémon i've encounter after i've obtain my first pokéballs was a shiny starly .How to begin a party better than this ^^
>>26382162
Why don't you use a Masterball for this?
>>26382477
What's it like being so old, grandpa?
>>26382162
I've had a haunting shiny fail but it was due to my retardation/lack of Pokemon knowledge at the time

Never been so devastated, but lesson learnt.
>>26382556
well, thats what false swipe is about. My standart partner pokemon absol can learn it as well as thunderwave. perfect for cathching pokemon
>>26382162
Shiny in the Safari Zone is true suffering.
>>26382505
You don't get the masterball till later on. Even if I did have the masterball I wouldn't have caught it due to it exploding on the same turn onix fainted

Sorta new to the Pokemon board. Also Facebook filename because I sent it to my cousin through my phone and saved the image on my PC
>>26382947
lucario is the npc's pokemon ya fat cuck
>>26382947
I know shinies are worthless in gen 6 that's why I'm playing diamond. I'm not gonna transfer them to gen 6 because fuck that.
>>26382947
That's Riley's Lucario.
>>Playing the worst games in the series
oh nevermind, it's bait
>>26382947
Why does rarity in gen6 matter to previous gens?
>>26382162
holy shit, graveler was my first shiny ever.
and i found the same way. its not so bad...
patpat
>>26382162
>iron island
Fuck iron island an fuck Riley! I lost TWO shinies within an hour there! A steelix that lucario killed since I couldn't kill it in time and it got a crit, and a shiny graveler that happened exactly like yours
>>26382162
After
>Roselia used petal dance / Roselia became confused! / Roselia hurt itself in it's confusion. / Wild Roselia fainted.
Would have been my first shiny.

You reek of /b/
Go back
Someone post that random shiny seviper in that zangoose horde pic.
>>26382556
I had a shiny Joltik, along with a shiny Tentacool, and a shiny Venipede. All were completely random, and I never hunted for them. Unfortunately, my Pokemon X glitched out and got corrupted, so I lost all 3. I still have a shiny Gulpin, Wingull, and Mareep, though, so I still have TONS of shiny luck.
I killed my first siny because I skipped GSC as a kid and didn't know what shinys were.
It was a shiny Zangoose.
>>26383163
No he is a Pokemon fan, he reek of /vp/.
Diamond was about 9 years ago anon. Assuming the OP is 18 now he could had play Diamond when he was 9.
>>26383163
/b/est board
>>26382162
Don't worry about it, Graveller is a trash-tier shiny.
>>26382412
Wow, summer's here already, huh?
