Was playing Platinum, doing some training around Turnback Cave while watching Captain America. Caught it as a Staravia, trained it for maybe two levels. Discovered what Action Replay was, somehow turned it into a female and it was no longer shiny.

Was replaying X, wondertraded it afterwards because it was around the time I, for some reason, just randomly traded good Pokémon for no reason.
>Skarmory
Caught it in Omega Ruby, used it in my final team. Stored it in Bank for a while, and at some point, I lost all of my Bank Pokémon, including special event legendaries, Pokémon I got as gifts from friends, and all my Pokémon from Gen 5 and 6.
Any other shiny has been special event/gift Pokémon.
