are we talking core games or in PoGo? In core games, ignoring Silver/Gold guaranteed red gyarados, then it was a Shiny Tangula
In PoGo, it was a Medatite or whatever that thing is called

Damn I didn’t ever think about it. My firs shiny was a *hatched* Pikachu from a 2km egg in 2019, feels so ilegal I just had forgotten about it

Shiny Ralts. It was a male so I saved it just in case I ever got another shiny Ralts so I could guarantee to have both shiny evolutions. I got a shiny Gardevoir from the mega raids recently so, naturally, I evolved it into Gallade. They’re a cute couple now and they both have Synchronize.

A shiny Ho-Oh about a month after I started is the oldest I have still. Annoyingly I know I caught one or two before that and transferred them because, being my first Pokémon exposure, I didn’t realize the different colors were a thing.

5 Balloon Pikachu. Never noticed.
Then a Yanma, which I thought was maybe a different color because of its gender like Nidorans.
It was the 5 grey Eevees on community day that I actually noticed were special, and then learned what shinies are LMAO.

Shiny Buldasaur in 2019

magikarp from 2019 when i came back to playing after a 3 year break (i only played again for maybe 2 months of 2019 lol)
Then I started seriously playing again in summer 2022 during the bday event with shiny charizard. I had no idea about the events since I’d just got back into playing so I thought I’d just gotten super lucky.
^ I also wanted to share that catch about a month later on reddit, and I was saying it had “randomly spawned” for me (again, I was not familiar with events 😭) and then all the comments were people accusing me of cheating because they thought I was playing dumb catching a shiny charizard past the events date 💔
