  • I was able to find a shiny Oddish (safari zone) and a shiny Zubat (some cave somewhere) which I luckily didn't forget about and traded them to my copy of Pokemon Black. However since I'm not really into either of them I guess the PC will be their home for all eternity.

    Yep, many times!

    In RSE I've found a shiny Swablu, Spinda, Golbat, Oddish, Abra, and Poochyena.

    And in FRLG I've found a shiny Venonat, Diglett, and two shiny Rattatas.

    My first non-gen 2 shiny was from Sapphire! I didn't play it when it originally came out, though - instead I was playing through it for the first time in 2013, and I came across a Zigzagoon that I was pretty sure did not look brown. I caught it just to be safe, and lo and behold, it was shiny! That Zigzagoon started me on my current shiny streak. :)

    I never encountered a shiny until FireRed in 2005.

    It was a Tauros. And it ran away.

    I haven't encountered a single shiny in the wild since.

  • It was a long time before I started encountering legitimate shinies. My first shiny encounter in 3rd Gen was a Metapod in Viridian Forest.
    I used Pikachu, Thunder Shock. It did just over half HP damage. My starter had fainted from poisoning, so Pikachu was my only choice.
    Long story short, I ran out of Pokéballs, because a METAPOD of all things decided to resist capture. :(

  • Indeed I have, several as a matter of fact.
    Shiny Abra
    Shiny Hoppip
    Shiny Porygon
    Shiny Dratini
    Shiny Charmander
    Shiny Magikarp
    Shiny Chansey
    Shiny Aerodactyl

    Thats 8 shinies. All of these were on my FireRed. There was that point in my life where I was addicted to hunting for shinies, I spent hours a day just Soft Reseting. The only one of those that I found on accident was hoppip. I ended up losing that FireRed while moving :'(
