Sadly Onix was coupled with self destruct Graveler so I didn't even get to check if you can try to catch it if you kill second pokemon. But this made me wonder: do ROMs/emulators somehow increse your chances (for example due to clocking or some other unintentional thing), or it's just ilusion due to much higher pokemon/hour ratio when you use turbo on emulators? I had similar case on my emerald ROM where I found pokerus Ralts and soon after shiny Wurmple. Meanwhile, on my legit cart on NDS I got only shiny Unown after like 200 hours.
