    I have like 70 shinies, but most are traded from my friends because they didn't want them. My best one that I caught was a shiny attack form Deoxys in fire red, which I then traded to Emerald.
    Also, once I ran into a shiny Zubat, while surfing, but I killed it because I absolutely hate Zubat and Golbat.

    This might be a little off topic, but what's the best way to catch shinies? I don't have any, and I was wondering why so many people have them if they are so rare...T_T

    I know I'm not the best shiny hunter here but I'll tell you what I know:

    - For 1 thing, avoid breeding. I have never had any luck finding shinies in eggs. :(
    - Try not to hunt for shinies of rare pokemon, you'll only be disappointed as you'll probably find a shiny of the area's more common pokemon. (Incidentally, do NOT hunt in places where Zigzagoon is found, or you'll come out screaming.)
    - If searching in the wild, always bring an Illuminator which can also weaken pokemon found in your designated area without killing them.
    - When hunting legendaries, just SR until your buttons break. 'Nuf said
    - Most of all, pray for luck and perservere

    Thanks loads! But, this might sound a bit noobish, but which Pokemon know Illuminate? And what's an SR?

    I don't know what illuminate means but i do know how to SR. SR means soft reset, you see what you do is go up to a legendary pokemon (or any other pokemon that has an icon) and battle it. If it's not shiny just off the game and on it and battle it again. You keep doing this until the pokemon that you are "hunting" is shiny.

    I have my awesome Shiny Marill that I taught Rock Smash to because I got it mixed up with my other one.

    >_>

    I normally EV Train my Shiny's, so I ****ed that one up a little bit.

    The only shiny I have is Glitters, my shiny Dustox. I was playing ruby again went in the grass just outside of Petalburg woods and BAM! A purple Wurmple. I was soooo excited my heart was racing I caught it and saved as quickly as possible. That save is very lucky to me as I also got a female Torchic!
