Whoa. Whoa. Perfect thread. I just caught a SHINY DIGLETT in my friend's game. YAY YAY YAY! It's Docile, and of course, Sand Veil. But it's shiny, so it doesen't matter. :D :D :D
And I had only ONE poke ball left, so I was praying I would be able to catch it. I weakened it with two Bites from my Meowth, hoped I wouldn't get a lame crit, and then I threw my last Poke Ball.
*shake*, *shake*, *shake*. Dun dada dun dada dun dada dada dun... I just caught myself.. a SHINY DIGLETT!
My first ever shiny was a Weedle in FireRed that I can't remember what I did with.
The second one was a shiny Gyarados in Emerald.
The third one was a shiny Meowth I saw in Emerald's Trainer Tower. Not mine though
The fourth one was a shiny Stunky in my destroyed Diamond ROM. R.I.P.
The fifth one was the Diglett.
I'm quite lucky. None of these were chained at all. Whenever I try to chain it just doesen't work out, so i'll have to rely on getting random shinies. Which is what happened today. <3 <3 <3
