'Tis a Shiny!

[FourCartridge]

I personally never really saw a shiny in any of my Pokemon games. You guys are lucky...

I USED to have a shiny absol but it caused a glitch :( and absols my favorite pokemon too! DD'''':

Shinies... Do not cause glitches? :? Unless it was a hacked shiny, I guess.

i had epic FAIL. my first shiny encounter was last week, and it was on black. and about that last post it was not an encounter it was a trade. the person who traded moved. :3 i was grind training my pokemon, and all of a sudden, there was a double battle. and the pokemon on the left was a shiny boufallent (which I probably spelled wrong) and a vullaby. i attacked both of them, and of course they were both KOed in 1 hit. now i realized i shoulda used a quick ball. by the way can someone tell me what the black/white BBCcodes are?

^ You cant use a Pokéball when both of the foes in a double battle are still alive.

I've only caught/seen one shiny- a Psyduck on Platinum. It looked awesome! Sadly, I've since evolved it, and the shiny form of Golduck is stupid. Seriously, why do they make shinies that are barely different like that?!

@AbsentNumeral: AMEN

The only legit shinies that I have are a Golbat and a Kricketot, both of which were found randomly by my brother.

I remember someone on the old forums made a post asking if he should use his Master Ball on the shiny Abra he just ran into.

Good times.

I've got my fair share of shinies. I'll list them by game:
FireRed: Rattata. I'd just beaten the E4 again and felt like walking to Viridian instead of flying somewhere else. BOOM. Shiny Rattata on Route 1. Now a Raticate.
Pearl: Unown P. I was in the Solaceon Ruins trying to catch all of the Unown when I ran into it.
Diamond: Machop. I was training my team for Roark and got lucky. Now a Machamp.
Black: Audino X2. First was found on the route accessed from the north exit of Black City and the second was found on Route 1.

I also have the Lake of Rage Gyarados, as well as a shiny Raichu and two each of shiny Raikou, Entei and Suikune from events. I've got a few shinies on emulators, two. From memory, they are Onix, Oddish and Pidove. One of my friends also found a shiny Koffing in the Rocket Base in Soul Silver, on one of the tiles that you find an exploding Pokémon on.

This thread is fun...

The only shiny i've ever seen/caught is my smeargle, who i named goblitog.
His sketched leaf blade has saved my butt countless times.

Also, shiny psyduck is awesome.
I has got catch one....

Only got one that isn't an event pokemon. A shiny Exeggcute.

Basically I was going around in Soul Silver collecting all of the Pokemon in the wild that I had yet to get after I beat the game and I found it by head butting a tree looking for a Pineco.

 

[Daigonite]

Through chaining I got a shiny Absol, Murkrow, Buizel and iirc a Swellow too. Random shinies I ran into were Kricketot ._. and Golbat :D

Only once,on my sister's HG.
And it got lost.
RIP, Shiny Hoppip. ;-;

How ironic! I new gamed a couple of days ago, and I was going to try and get a female snivy and name it "Clover". So I start the game, send out Snivy, and BAM!.
I don't care if the other trainers make fun of my guy Snivy being called clover, there just jeleous cuz' I gots a legit shiny as a starter!
