    I have a shiny Gyrados (Horrible spelling. o.o) and then a shiny Arcues,Kirlia,Shaymin,Rayquaza,Charizard,Darkrai,and Salamence. Other than the Roid-high Magikarp Gyrados, all are examples of my love and undying passion for using Pokegen to give me event legends and such. xD

    • There was once that I caught a shiny Pidgey in HG and a shiny Audino in Black and White... It's like you cannot miss out any shiny Pokemon!

    • To be honest: Besides of the Shiny Gyarados, I never caught a Shiny Pokémon in Gen. 4. <__< (I just caught a Shiny Zigzagoon in Ruby, but this doesn't count..I think.)

    Some Shinys look awesome, some aren't very good. But I want some, I just can't find them. >__<

    My friend found a shiny voltorb. He tried to weaken it before catching. First turn, BOOM - Self Destruct.

    • Hum.
    Ran into a shiny starly in my Diamond, but a) any attack would kill it in one hit, b) I hadn't even gotten the pokedex yet at that point (Diamond is a PokeRus game)
    Pearl got me a (completely unused) shiny geodude
    After a long while, Platinum gave me a (also unused) shiny budew
    SS is a Pokerus game...
    HG... before we finally went to Mr. Pokemon, shiny sentret, shiny rattata (we took photos, so we know that our starter was on levels 29 and 38 respectively. We IceFangKO'd them in respect); later, whilst looking for a growlithe, shiny pidgey (who is awesome); later still a shiny pinsir in the Bug Catching contest. He nearly gave us a heart attack, I swear, but we got him (and is awesome too, but in a different way).

    And then there's my Nuzlocke Diamond (my only GenIV one), in which, somehow, in under a period of fourty eight hours, we ran into two wurmple and a bidoof (and now I have three dustox in that game. And a shiny bibarel.)
    (shinies are everywhere for me recently- that's five for me in the last week [only listed gen IV shinies, though])

    Never chained one, never got a Reset'ed, never hatched one.

    • Ffff! So I was doing a solo playthrough of Platinum for Bidoof and I was just getting the TM for Rock Tomb in Ravaged Path and all of a sudden a shiny Zubat comes up!

    I didn't even react at first because I normally do train shiny Pokemon on playthroughs but then I realized this wasn't my Pokemon (and my Pokemon wasn't shiny) so I quickly closed the DS. I didn't even know it was a Zubat until I opened it up to record. xD;

    It's Hasty nature, which is actually pretty good since it raises Speed. I don't know if I will keep it as a Golbat or evolve it to Crobat, since I already have a Crobat shiny. odfjkoskdfosk EXCITED <3

    • I have never gotten a shiny on my real Pokémon games but when I played HG Japanese rom on my computer I found a Shiny Hoothoot. It's a shame that I can't get it from there to anywhere else...

    And as a sidenote, I've had three Shiny Raticate in my life, first one as Rattata on my computer in Pokémon Gold (don't remember where I got it), second one as Raticate in Silver on computer from Route 38 (west from Ecruteak) and third one as Rattata in Gold on my phone from Union Cave.

    • The first shiny I ever got OUT OF ALL THE GAMES was a Geodude on HG, within the first hour of restarting the game. (Not including Rumble, the Red Gyarados or the day care egg in Crystal) I named her Pyrite. <3

    • I'm hoping to encounter at least ONE in my Daimond but so far have made no progress. I've had much luck before in my ruby with shinies so I hope to get some in Gen IV.
