my first ever shiny was a shiny shuppet in sapphire when I was like 10 (it was the first game I ever bought). it was the first shuppet I had ever seen and I didn't know what a shiny was but I wanted it for my pokedex so I caught it and named it Serina. I still have it :) it's evolved into a banette now and lv 100. Aside from this I have like 60 legit wild caught shinies which has pissed my brother off to no end (spanning all gens since GSC) I don't hunt or search for them though I just randomly find them while screwing around in the grass with my itemfinder. I do have a funny story about my second shiny which was a golbat I named Jacki (same save file in sapphire as my shuppet, I was weirdly attached to Hex girl jacki idk why). anyways my bro comes into my room and is screaming about go to the shoal cave because he caught a shiny golbat and that if I hurry up and go search there I might find one. I was really skeptical because I didn't think it would work and as I'm older I knew there had to be some math involved in finding shinies. He keeps yelling so I give in and go search the shoal cave in the ice part like he said and 10 mins in bam shiny goldbat. He was equal parts smug and pissed because it worked but now he only had 1 shiny and I had 2 lol
