Well mine is about the one that got away. I was in a section in Black 2 I was with the always useless Bianka were we needed to partner in a cave for double battles, I came across a Boldor pair and one was shiny- I had it's health down low and then she knocked it out! When I need her to be useful in battle she's not and when I need the opposite she , lesson of my story - if you are Asked forced to pair with someone who is NPC and you want to catch a Pokemon knock theirs out first. That is the lesson and moral of this. Gurrrr I'm still ticked off at a sprite in a game , but I did get a shiny in that game, Lilipups first evolution.

Really I've only come across 1 shiny that wasn't the event Gyrados. That was very recent in my copy of X, I was going through friend safaris to see what all my friends had and there was a shiny Corsola. My brother however has the patience to go shiny hunting so he has more shinies than I do.

So, while going through Reflection Cave in Y, I ran into a Carblink that I initially thought was shiny. One horde encounter later, I run into a shiny Mr. Mime.

I have a depressing one... In my childhood, I came across many shinies... I just had a lot of luck... But one time, at the beginning of the Sapphire, I found a Purple Wurmple.. I caught and notice my gameboy was about to die, and I couldn't find the charger... Right when ever I went to save the game, the gameboy died... I cried for an hour because I lost a shiny that I found at the beginning of the game XD

I was once going through Victory Road in Ruby. My Groudon was my only Pokemon left. A shiny Golbot appeared. Luckily, my Groudon had Rock Smash. Only 20 power and does .25 damage. A critical hit couldn't ruin it. I hit is once and it did very little damage. Lowered the defense but nothing to worry about. I hit it again. Critical Hit. Knocked it out. It was tragic. Mainly due to the fact my friend found a shiny Golbat a week later. I've only lost one other shiny after that. A psyduck that fled in the great Marsh.

I caught a shiny Ponyta once. I filmed it. It's at like 35 seconds. No big deal or anything.

I've caught a Shiny Tentacool in Emerald on my way to E4 (before Victory Road). Bumped into a Shiny Mr. Mime in Diamond on the Route toward Sunnyshore that the guy blocks for like ever. Then hatched a Shiny Scyther in Platinum. I remember that one was Sassy... :L

None in all my platime of HG, SS, Black, White, Black 2, or Y. (I've played multiple files on all these except Y) Guess I'm about due for one~

I don't grind for shinies, I've RNG'd for them in Gen 4. I can't even get a female Charmander in 100 eggs. My luck is not the best. xD


EDIT: Oshit, "I'm" still doing it. At least "my" voice finally dropped.

You know it's fake because I never go to parties.

In my Sapphire version I caught a shiny Poochena. I named him Clemson. He's been one of my pokemon in almost every version. I kept transfering him. He's evolved now but he's the one of two shinies I have caught.

Well for me my first ever caught shiny (Other then the event gyarados, no love for him.) Was actually tonight. I was hoping to get one after getting Pokemon X since I never was able to play 3,4,or 5th gen and 2nd gen was gold and the internal battery died on me after I had it for a month. (Was really sad and unhappy about that.) So anyways getting back into pokemon, playing X I saw some of my friends catching shiny pokemon left and right. I tried for hours and never got anything. Giving up I just played the game and been adding friends to my safari. After adding a local friend which I found out had bought the game, I went to check their safari. The first encounter I made with a Swadloon it sparkled, I was like o.o wtf? *checks online, Look back, checks again online to confirm, catches.* So yea pretty happy biggrin lol

FYI I named it Dr. Swa

Lucky. I've yet to catch a shiny on any version but Sapphire and Soul Silver. All the rest I've traded for. Mostly from japan really.

I only have two shinys. I have one in Emerald which is a shiny Marill which is green in color. And i have the shiny Diaga for my Black 2 game. I caught the Marill in Emerald. I think it was Route 104 or something and I didnt see a shiny before so I caught it to get a different color pokemon. My other one is actually an event pokemon so I got it.
