Only shiny I've ever seen, outside of the Red Gyarados, was a shiny Spinarak. Unfortunately, it was before you get your first pokéballs.

>mfw HG did this.

I caught a shiny Audino during my White 2 run. I was grinding in the area, leveling my pokémon by battling other Audino, and suddenly, BAM! Shiny. I caught it and named him Terry. I wish I could do something with him, but I didn't need an Audino on my team so he just sits in my PC.

I found a shiny Rattata yesterday in B2. I was afraid cause my team was too strong and had no status moves, luckily only took a few Poke Balls to catch the little guy.

He's Lonely with Guts, so not bad for battle in general.

I've seen a few shinies. The absolute best was in Pearl. It was the first click of the pokeradar. I saw the shiny animation on one of the bushes and immediately prayed to Arceus that no random encounter happened. What I saw literally almost shit myself. It was a shiny Chansey. A. Fucking. Shiny.

The day White 2 came out. Castelia Sewers with rival. 2 Rattata appear, one is greenish. I'M STOKED

My Flaaffy and his Pignite. My attacks would kill the Rattata, so the best option would be to paralyze Pignite. lol.

Thunder Wave on him, and he arm thrusts the non-shiny Rattata. Phew. I throw a Great Ball at the shiny one, no dice, but Pignite is fully paralyzed. I throw another Great Ball, not even close to catching it, he arm thrusts it to death.

And that's the story of why I don't have a shiny Rattata.

Well it could even be a somewhat high chance anyway. Something like 1/1000 if it's with one shiny parent and something like 1/200 if it has both shiny parents. I don't see that being broken, given how long it takes to hatch eggs.
