Failing Shiny.

    2 of my Pokemon in my main party (Dragonite and Charizard) are shiny. I got given both as Charmander and Dratini and have trained both up myself. I'm worried that I'm going to be accused of hacking because I have these 2 Pokemon, but they were simply gifts from a kind person on this forum, and both are completely legit. I have no idea how to hack and I have no intention ever of doing it, but should I replace these 2 Pokemon so save the risk of being accused? The thing is these 2 Pokemon are my most powerful ones. Thoughts please guys.

    In Sapphire, I released a shiny Oddish as I thought it was a freak, nothing usable and I already have a Vileplume and Bellosom. What an idiot I was.

    Jordan.

    when i encountered a shiny gloom i thought it was also some kind of a freak Pokemon too that was my first shiny and i made it faint then i remembered it was a shiny how dumb of me:P

    First shiny I found and caught, besides the Red Gyarados, was in Ruby-- my beloved Duskull (now a Dusclops in Pearl).
    I have a shiny Pidgeot and Fearow in FireRed.
    In Emerald, I found a shiny Mightyena, which I transferred to my Pearl.
    I caught a golden Nosepass in Pearl (now Probopass).

    In FireRed, I lost a shiny Gastly. I messed up trying to catch it... :(
    In Pearl, I found a shiny Geodude, but it used Self-Destruct... Wah!!!!

    I also saw a green Espeon in the Pokémon Tower in FireRed too. It might be normal, since my brother and his friend saw it too.

    Failing shiny huh... The only shiny I lost was a female Grimer in Crystal... She ran away from me when I got her down to yellow. WTF. As for just my sweet continuing stupidity, I FREAKING KO'D ANOTHER SHINY IN PEARL GAH. That's two failed shinies for me. D;

    I have caught a shiny Weedle, billions of Gyarados, hatched Elekid, Igglybuff, and glitched up an Eevee and Mew in Crystal. For 3rd gen, I got Poochyena, Pidgey, and Lugia. In 4th, Corsola, Absol x3, Voltorb, and Ponyta x7 (one I accidentally didn't see it shine and attacked it. :x)

    well I never ran into a shiny with out any Pokeballs but I have run into a shiny Geodude and it used Explosion on me in FR. so I think that counts as a failing shiny. But thank god that was my brothers game

I didn't have any pokeballs yet. Just today, not even a half hour ago, I saw a Shiny Geodude in Leaf Green, had no balls then either. /sigh. lol Oh well, hows it for you all?

    None.
    I'm wondering how some people manage to catch so many Shinies, while they are that rare... I haven't even seen shiny Pokemon that are not in the plot. T_T

    Me either, I never had any Shiny Pokemon Before...
    And I don't have G/S/C also...but I don't actually like Shiny Pokemon
    I like Normal Pokemon better, It's not like a Shiny Pokemon can do anything...:\

    went out looking for a burmy, and instead i found a weird looking misdreavus.

    at the moment, its level 39 and looking to make it part of my team :)

    might evolve it soon

    as for older games, i caught a gold-leafed oddish in gold, saw (but ran out of balls catching) a pink male nidoran, and also a gold swablu on ruby

    in G/S/C shiny Pkmn had higher stats then the normal. And yes they do stuff they battle as normal Pkmn and get defeated like normal Pkmn

    ^ With a lot of patience and a lot of luck, you could get shiny starters/legendaries.

    Other than red Gyrados, I found a shiny Shuppet, but it killed itself before I could catch it. Stupid Curse!

    I got a shiny Zubat on Gold but my save file erased itself the day after I caught it. I was the proud owner of a shiny Zubat for less than a day...

    But now I have a shiny Geodude on Pearl! I absolutely love it. I'm so grateful.

    When i found out about the all 3 starters cheat for G/S/C
    I decided to do a new game on my silver version
    & i found a shiny pidgey
    but of corse i wasn't at the part of the game where you could use pokeball's yet
    And i had to let it go :[

    Another time was i found a shiny Oddish in the Illex Forset
    Near the shine as i remember
    I didn't know what shiny's where at the time
    So i thought my game screwed so i turned off my gameboy & lost it
