6th Gen What has your luckiest catch been so far?

I was chaining and after 3 or 4 chains I got a shiny Hawlucha. It's my first shiny in Y so far.
 
Caught Mewtwo yesterday with 3 Ultra Balls! Half health too woo!
 
Shiny Poliwhirl caught with a Critical Capture, what are the odds of that? Like that's not even rhetorical, I'd calculate the odds myself but I'm too stupid for math!
 
A shiny Espurr that appeared on the FS my nephew's FC opened while I was looking for an abra. It had 31 iv in atk and spd, I still happy and it's been weeks now :)
 
I don't know about luckiest, but I would have to say the most memorable catch for me in X and Y would have to be my encounter with a shiny Wingull.

During my playthrough run of the game, I've heard about being able to trigger a Horde Encounter with any Pokemon that knows Sweet Scent. I thought it was pretty cool since this method allows you to trigger the encounters without having to farm for Honey. So I went ahead and caught an Oddish to test it out in case I needed to trigger the encounters in the future. Surprisingly, my first triggered Horde Encounter had the shiny Wingull. I was definitely not expecting it to show up, especially since my focus was purely to test out the mechanic.

It was my first shiny in X and Y, and needless to say I was very happy with the catch.
 
In Pokemon Y: caught Mewtwo on 2nd ultra ball and caught Zygarde with relative ease too. Never had an easier time catching the legendaries than I did in Pokemon Y. Still have to bump into Moltres a few more times before I get a chance to catch it.
 
Hmm...

Let's say I caught this 5 IV Magic Bounce Timid Nature Abra in the Friend Safari.
I was like "Hell yeah!!!!".

And... not counting as a catch, but I bred my recently bred 31 IV Special Attack and Speed Greninja holding a Destiny Knot with a Hasty Ditto holding an Everstone, and the result was a Shiny Hasty Froakie with 31 IV Special Attack and Speed. I was so amazed that I was left speechless.
 
After trying for a week to catch a shiny sliggoo in a friend safari, I gave up and worked on filling the dex for a while. Yesterday, I decided to go back to that friend safari for old times sake and BOOM! The first pokemon I encountered was a shiny sliggoo.
The best part is that it has gooey and 31 ivs in def, sp def, and speed.
 
Holy Crap!
I cant believe my luck!
My 3rd(and probably last) shiny eevee came only 5 eggs after the second.
and surprisingly: it is FEMALE
ivs:31/x/31/31/31/31
nature:MODEST (without everstone!)
ability: anticipation
this is gonna definitely be my espeon! how should i nickname her?
 
My luckiest catch would be when I was wandering around my friend safaris & as I was leaving, I came across a shiny Spiritomb :) First shiny ever!!
 
i think mine had to be randomly finding zoroark i love that pokemon and i caught him in a quickball with one shot. :)
 
So many tales about people catching shines...

I really don't believe in luck, and maybe that's why Lady Luck hates me. I've never gotten anything worthwhile. Unless catching a Mewtwo with nearly full HP counts.
 
It's not exactly a catch, but I hatched a non-masuda method shiny bulbasaur in less than 20 eggs while chain breeding for a prefect kangaskhan.
 
i also had a random run in with a shiny phantump in friend safari caught that one pretty quick to. :)
 
I run into a shiny geodude in a horde. Luckily it survived a magnitude. It was my first shiny too so I was actually happy to get a shiny geodude :)
 
Got a few VERY LUCKY captures when playing X, First was a critical capture, caught Shiny Relicanth instantly, also caught Shiny Riolu when I was hunting for one, got real Lucky it appeared after about 20 mins, and got REAL Lucky yesterday when I caught shiny Pidgey (it knew whirlwind but the one Time he used it, failed and I threw in a Quick Ball, caught!) pretty excited so far! ^_^
 
Modest Mewtwo, koff~

and full IVs. I call that a great job well done in my book. Other than that, I've always captured what I've needed to. Except those dittos that died. Poor ditto death, koffi~
