Found another one in a chain of 28 right after, so I'm not too upset about it. I was heartbroken for like ten minutes or so, though.

That was a strange run. Ended with me fucking myself over by performing the cloning glitch wrong. Years later, I started a new game and found another shiny Poochyena. My Torchic scored a critical hit on it.

yeah that exact fucker in the thumbnail blew up all over me. Other than that I haven't failed a shiny. I did fail some rng abuse shinies in sapphire (kyogre multiple times, abra multiple times, safari zone pokes etc) but obviously reclaimed them immediately.

I couldn't catch my first shiny ever, a Rattata, because it was part of the catching Pokemon tutorial in Crystal. I have ~40 shinies now and haven't missed one based on my own stupidity so whatever, go fuck yourself Rattata.

You can even tell what a wild pokemon's moveset it just by looking at its level and the 4 highest moves in the level up movepool. So all the retards who freak out about whether or not something has explode/roar/etc.

No, but I bred a shiny Eevee once, and when I was taking a picture of it i dropped my phone on my DS. Both screens went black, but I could still press buttons, and could hear things happen. So i managed to save, reset, and still had the eevee
