    So there I am, fishing inside Mt Coronet, looking for a Feebas. I'm getting frustrated, as I've spent hours and hours with no luck. I'm just half heartedly tossing my line in the water, when suddenly I saw a flash. Wait, a flash? There, floating before me, was a Barboach. But not just any Barboach. A shiny Barboach. A "1-in-8,192 chance" shiny freakin' Barboach.

    Five years!

    It has been over 5 years since I saw a shiny pokemon. (March 23, 2003, Route 223 in Hoenn, where I caught my shiny Wailmer.) Literally, my hands were shaking with excitement. I can't let it get away! "Bronzong, use Block!" I yelled, as my pokemon used a move to keep its enemy from running away. "Ok, pokeball, go!" I tossed the pokeball, and it rocked...

    Once...

    Twice...

    Three times.....

    Pop! Out came the Barboach. I don't have any pokemon that can put it to sleep, so I tried the pokeball again...

    Once... please...

    Twice... c'mon...

    Three times... click!

    I CAUGHT A SHINY BARBOACH!!!

    I think I have like 2 shinies on my Sapphire but I'm not sure. If I do, I'm trading them over to my D/P game.

    • I'm still new to shinies and only really heard about them until I caught my own a few days ago.

    I was searching for a Feebas in Mt. Coronet (north) cuz I was trying to complete my Sinnoh Dex cuz I haven't seen a Milotic yet (after I realized that Cynthia has one and quickly lost interest) but as I was searching on the water, low and behold an oddly colored Magikarp presents itself to me. I was like Wtf... then I realized it was a shiny and caught it. :D And I evolved it to a red shiny Gyarados.

    So yeah. One shiny. Well, technically two, but whatever.

    Recently I added 11 shinies to my collection, but I've been trying to get more, and in the process have EV trained 3 more Pokemon...

    I'm now looking for:
    Ralts
    Wobbuffet
    Caterpie

    and I'm SRing for Squirtle in Fire Red.
    I might do a honey tree SR but it's rather... risky, the Pokemon will go away after a while.

    • At long last, I have a shiny Ho-Oh! ^^ Traded 5 cloned shinies and 1 uncloned for it. :P Aside from having a little green bar of experience, it looks great, everything seems to be legit. =] Now, onto that Seviper chain...

    Just caught Shiny Shinx a couple of hours ago. Hunting him all day.
    In other news, I'm trying to have my brother breed me a Shiny Bagon and a Shiny Charmander.

    I got a new SR Shiny :D
    C + P'ed from Serebii -

    Seriously, am I lucky?

    The 7th of this month, June, I SRed a Shiny Drifloon after less than 3 hours.
    And then on the 11th of the very same month, I get a Shiny Cherubi after about 1.5 hours SRing..

    And TODAY.. on the 23rd of yet again the same month, I get THIS.

    A Shiny, Mild Spiritomb. My Modest Syncher(that Lv. 1 Natu that I kind of forgot to KO there..), failed, although I can't say i'm surprised. The poor little thing was probably wetting itself in fear against that Spiritomb xP
    This girl took longer than the other two SR Shinies i've gotten, but still very quick compared to the times i've seen other people get their Shinies in. I can't say with complete accuracy, but this Shiny came within 8 - 15 hours.

    So, what's next?! :D
    Actually, i'm going to have a break from SRing now. And I mean it this time..

    Oh, who the heck am I kidding...
