>>37824043I actually had quite a few encounters back when I was younger. To bad I lost every single one of them over the years. Oh well.
First was a shiny Buneary in Eterna forest on my first Pearl playthrough
A shiny Patrat on Route 1 on Black.
Shiny Makuhita in Granite Cave in Sapphire.
A shiny Geodude in the Oreburgh mine during another Pearl playthrough. I actually didn't delete my previous safe properly so I couldn't save after catching it. I'm still mad about that.
Another shiny Makuhita during Alpha Sapphire also in Granite Cave which my Ralts killed with a Crit. I'm also still mad about that.
And finally the most crazy thing in regards to shinies that ever happened to me. During my first Black playthrough I wanted to add Tynamo to my team and since I was especially autistic during that time I wanted it specifically to be male. Since it only had a 1% encounter rate or something like that it took forever to find one. I found like 3 or 4 female ones which I refused to catch and then suddenly a shiny Klink appears. Really did not expect that, but then only 11 wild encounters after that a shiny Ferroseed appears. I remember that it was 11 because you could check how many wild encounters you faced on the back of your trainer card. I don't know what the odds for that are but RNGesus definitely blessed me that day.
Not that it matters much since over the years I lost every single one of them. They were all either accidentally deleted when I wanted to replay a game or are stuck in some friend's game after I traded it to replay a game. Haven't encountered a random shiny ever since I started to care for them and to make sure not to delete them. Such is life I guess.
