In all my years playing pokemon I never found a wild random shiny before clearing the game!
And today while running around and searching for Audino to train this dude randomly popped out and I was like fuck stupid wild encounter and then I was the sparkles and I was speackless.

Congrats dude.

Finding a wild shiny with normal odds is the only legit way imo, I never used chains or breeding to get them. I've found 2 so far in the past 15 years.

Played emerald. Got a shiny torchic. Didnt know much about shinies. Thought i must have gotten a directors edition emerald lol. Got all the way to catching rayquaza. Kept soft reseting because i either killed it, it struggled to death, it beat my team, or ran out of all pokeballs to use. Suddenly one sparkles. Throws a normal pokeball first turn. Caught it. Gameboy dies before i can save. ;-;

Here here, when I heard the new mechanics make it easier to get a shiny I was disgusted; it really makes it less of an accomplishment.

Playing fire red on gameboy because I want to transfer some mons. I spent at least 2 hours fishing in the safari zone for a dragonair, eventually settle for a dratini at least. 5 dratinis in, I get a shiny one. This was my worst nightmare- a shiny in the safari zone. Don't waste time with bait or rocks and just go to pokeballs. 5 pokeballs in, it starts to shake more and more but it breaks out. Flees the next turn. Later in the game though, I find a shiny psyduck so I'm not as upset

So sorry, anon. That autumnal gold color ain't half bad.

Found a shiny Linoone in AS one day when I randomly decided to not use Fly and actually walk to my destination. Only the second shiny I've ever found as I don't care to chain them. I prefer them being a complete surprise than something I'm intentionally looking for.

My first (and only thus far) shiny was a Shuppet in XY.

And now I have the sickest shiny in the entire game: a shiny Mega Banette.

Damn I'm lucky.

I found my first shiny playing Y. I was in Route 10 trying to catch a female Eevee. Shortly after I began, I found a shiny Snubbull in the grass. What's funny is that after I caught the Snubbull, I spent one hour more trying to find a female Eevee. For one moment, a regular pokémon was harder to find than a shiny.

I think it started when I was a babby watching Johto after school 'cause I tried too hard to be like Jessie. Then it just became too much of a running joke within my inner circle to go back on. The mirror cave in XY might have fueld it a little. Mostly it's a huge joke, I don't actually care that much.

I remember booting up my Diamond version for some reason either towards the end of Gen 4 or the beginning of Gen 5. I was outside Victory Road and stepped inside. First encounter after having not played it for so long and it was a fucking shiny Machoke, I was off the walls with excitement.

I have a ton, the last one was a Ralts I got while I was blindly breeding for a female adamant with synchronize in White 2
It was male, with trace and a neutral nature with shit IVs. Fuck you, you worthless Ditto
I tried to give it away here, but no one responded, so it's sitting untouched on my box

I found a shiny Aipom that used Fury Swipes on my Talonflame, burned itself, then proceeded to break out of 3 ultra balls and die to the burn damage. That was the first shiny I've seen that hasn't been from an event since a shiny Tentacool way back in Sapphire

I spent a year hatching eggs to 3k until I got a shiny female froakie that was competitively viable so I could name her after Mikasa from SNK.

Try and be more autistic than me, I dare you.

I also found a shiny on an emulator, but I've found enough outside that it's fine.

I think my best story is of my shiny Heracross. When I was a kid, all my friends and I played Gen III and we talked about it all the time on the playground at recess. I played Emerald, and I got lucky and found a purple Heracross in the post-game Safari Zone. I caught it (I don't fucking know how) and thought I'd tell my friends about it at recess the next day.
I told all my friends, but one didn't believe me.
This kid went back home, and the next day he told me there was no such thing as a purple Heracross. And he knows this because his older brother told him so.
>This, coming from the kid who told me you could unlock Raichu and Wario in Melee

okay, where to begin...

my first shiny was a Smoochum back in Silver version, and, as it was strange, my friends duplicated it, repeatedly, so they could all have one.

White Version was my next, I was breeding a quagsire to put in my team, and it was the third egg.

X gave me three shinies, a Quilladin and a Throh from the Friend Safari, and when I was breeding a Timid Panpour, it just sort of happened, I remember it being a few eggs in though, so I imagine I was trying for a girl, Shiny's a male.

My GF traded me a Shiny Smeargle named Salvador, I traded that Quilladin for a Shiny Audino.

then, my latest was back in Platinum, my GF asked me to find her a Male Duskull, so I figured I should look for where I'd be most likely to find one, it was on the route connecting to the lost tower at night.

In spite of this, I was looking for a while before one popped up, and when it did, well, it was shiny, and female.

Ironically a regular male one came up like right after that.

Shiny Goldeen, Slakoth, Weedle (and Gyarados but who the fuck cares) in Soul Silver. I evolved them all to their final forms. Also, a few weeks before I caught a shiny Slowpoke in Silver. Not emulator.
