>>26596050I caught a shiny Raikou back in Colosseum many years ago. It was in the Deep Colosseum, and I was led to believe that if I didn't get the Raikou there, I would lose my chance forever. The Raikou wasn't shiny when I battled it before, so I just wanted it to have it, as is natural with any legendary. I eventually caught it, used it in battle, and low and behold, a shiny Raikou. I practically flipped shit when I saw this because the RNG and amount of luck from that was amazing. Keep in mind that this was before HG/SS was a thing, so it was pretty much impossible to get it shiny without the use of a Gameshark or Action Replay. I still have it today, imported in Gen 6.
