Had to use a hack for the rom version of Pokemon Black to see exactly a shiny pokemon is. Throughout all Pokemon games i've played, (not on rom) i've never gotten anything close to a shiny.
I own three, but have seen four:
1. Red Gyarados. Duh.
2. Tentacool. Long story behind this one. Sapphire.
3. Hypno. Training a Chikorita I got from GTS in SS, I found it as a Drowzee. Only one I'm training.
As for the one I couldn't catch...
4. Kangas-freaking-khan. Weird, I found it after pulling a ton of coins at the GameCorner in FireRed, by getting a lot of triple 7s. :/ It fled. :[
My Shiny is a shiny shellos (Try saying that 5 times fast) i ran into one first and i was going to my computer and killed it Then a few days later and the place before Sunyshore city found 1 caught it and that was in pearl and thats all lol
First legit shiny I encountered was an Onix in Victory Road. I had no pokeballs.
Since then I never used repels and one fateful day I came across a blue Ponyta. Which I evolved into a grey Rapidash and raised it to level 100 and we lived happily ever after. Both on LG.
1) Rattata in Leafgreen. I freaked out.
2) Shiny Golbat in Platinum. Pink Crobat FTW
3) Geodude in Heartgold. My games love generating common shinies, don't they?
4) Stantler in Heartgold while EV training
5) Timburr in Black before the second gym. Pretty lucky find, I say
6) Shiny Patrat in Black.
7) 3 shiny Electrikes. 2 through chaining and one somebody traded through GTS. And Manectric kicks ass as a shiny.
8) Shiny Trubbish in Black.
9) Shiny Aron. IN THE FRIGGIN' BATTLE CASTLE.
Aside from the last one, I'd say that I'm pretty lucky with my finds
My first shiny was a... wait for it... LUGIA!!!
I kept saving and powering off because i figured out that if i put my ampharos out first it would thunder it down to 1hp. I kept forgetting to switch out my ampharos and then suddenly A WILD (SHINY) LUGIA APPEARED!!!!!
I used a master ball on it just in case.
As soon as I left I was doing something in the National Park and found a shiny weedle!
I can show you pictures if you'd like
Sorry i would have to take them first though
