    I don't get what the big deal about Shinys are, but the only thing I've seen is my friend's Shiny Rhyperior and a Bidoof during my first trip to Sandgem.

    I have 3 shinies. Sneasel, Golbat, Graveler. I've actually found 2 shiny Gravelers but the first one used selfdestruct. You have no idea how pissed I was.

    I have a few. I caught myself a shiny Dustox from Emerald, a Metagross(originally Beldum) in Pearl, a Machop in Diamond, and, um, I think that's it. I might have a few more, but I can't remember. XD

    Well, I have a few, but my favorite would have to be my Zubat that I caught. I got lucky with the Adamant nature.

    Oh, so they're more common than one thinks? Even though the odds are something like 1/8000 or whatever it is each time you battle, it's still possible to get them.

    I wouldn't mind myself a shiny Meowth, but really they don't look that different. :(

    Did you cheat? I have none. By brother seen a Shiny Zubat (in gold though) and failed to catch it... Other than Red Gyrados in Gold, nothing.

    He most likey caught a majority of them by use of the Poké Radar, like me.

    Speaking of the Poké Radar, i've spent awhile catching Skarmory to hopefully get some with flawless IVs. I KOed 2 in the chain, and caught about 38, in the same chain ... If you catch my meaning ;P

    What's Pokéradar? I cant beleive how someone can have 38 and others here say they have more than one, and I have none!

    It's called chaining. Using the Pokeradar, it's actually possible to hunt for shinies. There are a bunch of guides and FAQs on the net (including the one here), just read one of those.
