I'm bored as fuck and it doesn't seem like I'll be seeing a shiny any time soon, so I'll share with you the story of the one and only time I ever encountered a shiny in the wild.
>Playing SoulSilver in the post game
>Been buffing up all my Pokemon
>Lowest leveled Pokemon in my party was a level 70 Mew I was training at the time
>Decide to do the Groudon sidequest
>Surprised to see it's fucking level 50, but too lazy to turn back, so I take him time after time, reseting when he dies
>All of the sudden *sparkle* SHINY GREEN GROUDON
>Completely caught off gaurd, the one time I see a shiny it's at the most inconvientent possible time
>I use my Mew's weakest attack, Groudon's instantly on his last legs
>tfw no status effect inducing attacks for any of my Pokemon sans one and no masterballs available
>A shitload of ultraballs later, I decide it's all or nothing
>Now desperate, I send out my Gengar, named Chesire
>With no other options, I use toxic.
>His health goes down, with only a speck left, but he survives
>It's now or never... I throw an ultraball and hope that the game will let me win this, just this once
>*shake*
>*shake*
>*shake*
>*click*
And it was all over.
