    How did you encounter celebi(cheats?) and how could two different gym leaders in the same game have shiny pokemon and how could a gymleader have more than one shiny??

    Let's see... I sold the masterball in order to get me some money. I threw all the rarecandies I've caught to make some space in my backpack. never do that.

    There is a glitch called the Celebi Glitch.It is only in certain cartridges, and when you are on Route 121 or Route 123 (i'm not sure which one), you may encounter a Celebi.It is rarer to encounter one than a shiny pokemon though.Also, the only gym leader that has a shiny is Flannery.Wally is not a gym leader, he is just a second rival which you can battle as much as you want.

    Baddest luck...
    - I had a shiny Lairon use roar on me
    - I knocked out a shiny Golbat

    ...and for something lucky but stupid...

    - I caught a Shiny Heracross on Colosseum, that's the lucky part, the stupid part is I used a net ball- ever seen a pokemon come out of a net ball on that game? It has netting -hence name of ball- around/over it that distracts from the 'Oh Shiny!' reaction... I'm never useing net balls again...

    Not exactly on R/S, but on other versions though:
    -I found a shiny seaking in the safari(FR) and it fled. =(
    -Accidentally used a masterball on a exegcute(Red) but there was no space on the box, and I haven't caught mewtwo yet. And I saved.
    -(Not really sad) Had a shiny torchic on Emerald two days ago, but it's IV was really low(and it's nature was Sassy), so I traded it to Sapphire and restarted. I'm still trying to find a shiny torchic until now.

    On monday I was playing emerald and training up a zigzagoon team...don't ask
    I was bored on my emerald version and a shiny pokemon appeared...my mind
    just blanked out , it's that thing that evolves into hariyama I was in the
    cave in dewford and with my weakest lv.12 zigzagoon I used tackle 'cuz I was
    soo sure that it would survive the hit and I'd be able to capture it, but the
    freakin' attack became a crititcal hit and I knocked it out...I was soo
    increadibly annoyed.

    ...I still can't remember that thing's name...soo lame.

    anyway it would have been my 51st shiny pokemon, i'm on the hunt for more.

    ^_^ I can only remember one really stupid thing I did and it was in my Sapphire game. (Trust me, someone as clumzy as I am has done many stupid things.. hee hee) Well here is what happened:

    I was looking around for Relicanth for about an hour... getting annoyed by the stupid Clamperls and Chinchou that kept popping up from everywhere. Just when I was about to give up I saw a level 35 Relicanth! I was so very happy.. ^o^ I battled it and withdrew my Aggron becuase it was too powerful... but I did to lots of damage to the Relicanth. I switched and took out Torque (my Sharpedo)... that was very stupid of me.. because Relicanth attacked and Torque's rough skin killed it. -_- How very silly of me.

    But after another hour of searching... I found another one! ^____^ I managed to capture it.... hee hee.. so now I'm happy.
