I play since RS and the only shiny i've ever encountered was in Emerald 386. Since it's a hackrom, I don't know if it really counts.

In the Safari Zone.

I've seen 4, though my luck had one be a zubat, one be a geodude, and one be a biberal.

At least shiny venomoth is cool.

I've met plenty in many games, maybe you're just unlucky or haven't spent enough time in the grass or used too much repels?

Aside from chaining, only wild shinies I found were a Vanillish in a horde and a Quilladin in a friend safari. Both within a day of eachother.

I've been playing since Gen 1 and have only seen three shinies in the wild, a Zigzagoon in Ruby (though I was unable to catch it because I hadn't beaten May for the first time), a Vanillite in Y (from a Horde Battle in Frost Cavern), and a Surskit in Omega Ruby (through Dexnav trying to find a good Pokemon to catch).

I've had three in the wild, fearow in diamond, geodude in sapphire, and tangela in soul silver. Honestly I don't really care for shinies, the colors on a lot of them seem weird and washed out to me. Some do look good though, corsola and wooper come to mind.

Friend Safari, DexNav and Hordes are known ways to obtain shinies fairly quickly, well quicker than just walking around that is.

I'm >>27556980 and had a similar experience. In soul silver I was training some pokemon by mt.silver and encountered a shiny tangela. I actually was lucky enough to have a pokemon with false swipe but I only had like six regular pokeballs and my master ball. It bugs me that I had to use my master ball but whatever.

Gen II
>Hoothoot in Gold
Couldn't catch it because I didn't have the Pokédex or Balls yet.
>Unown-I in Crystal
Caught it, but it was fucking useless.

Gen III and onward
>Poliwhirl in LeafGreen
What I consider my first "true" Shiny. I evolved him into a Politoed because I liked the color scheme better, and Politoed's been my favorite Pokémon ever since. He has a Brave nature and Damp ability.
>Magikarp in emulated LeafGreen
Caught it. Fucking useless and doesn't even really count since it wasn't on cart.
>Tentacool in Y
Caught it. It's a nice trophy, I guess?
>Venipede hatched in X
Hatched an Egg while while fucking around with breeding. Also a trophy that just sits in the PC.

Shinies kind of lost their touch on me after catching Poliwhirl. Every new Shiny just feels like a downgrade to my bro, Politoed. Maybe it'll spark again when I actually get another interesting Shiny.

I've played at least one game from every generation, some 2, and all of them for quite a bit of time on multiple playthroughs. Never once seen a shiny.

My brother found a shiny budew within minutes of his first pokemon game.

I must be pretty lucky considering I've seen 20 since they debuted in GSC. 3 have been dissapointing. One I killed, one was on a deleted file, and I regret evolving another.

More so I spend a disgusting amount of time breeding, horde training, and hunting. Just from hordes I've gotten 7 shinies, and the others are breed, SR'd, and random encounters. I actually have a handful of competitive shinies too which are my pride an joys.

I've had a few others since then, but I like it when I have more of a reason to admire a pokemon I wouldn't normally use in the main game.

By the time I'm down breeding a competitive shiny I have to Wondertrade boxes of 5-6IV Pokémon. Hopefully the people that get them are happy.

Shiny Heracross in Silver weren't dark blue or dark purple right? Also, could you run from them?

Other than that, a Foongus in Black 2 (one of the ones that looked like a pokeball), and a Gulpin and Mareep in hordes while EV training in X. Also hatched a shiny Yanma without trying in an attempt to get a near perfect Yanma.
