    Someone wonder traded me a shiny Luvdisc on Valentine's Day. Hacked (perfect stats), but I don't care since it was good timing.

    Then this morning I got my own first shiny in S&M, a Popplio I hatched. Finally.

    So it turns out you can RNG in these games. And I ended up doing this:

    Just ran into and catch a shiny Caterpie in my playthrough of Sun. I have never run into a shiny Pokemon while still playing through the main bulk of the game, so this little buddy is going right on my team.

    While levelling up my Sliggoo on Exeggutor Island, I encountered a shiny Exeggcute. I've never looked for shines int he past and it's the first shiny Pokemon I have ever encountered/had. Now I am proud to have an amazing shiny Alolan Exeggutor in my party.

    A few hours in and I found a Shiny Drifloon with decent nature and stats in the cemetery somewhere in Melemele.

    Haven't played in a while though so I could see more in due time.

    Pikachu, Sandygast, Grimer, Litten (159 eggs), Pikipek and Charjabug..All evolved except Charjabug (Keeping him that way).
    Random Encountering, hoping to find a shiny female Oranguru...

    Nice to see someone else get a shiny Drifloon, joining the one I have on X myself. It's interesting to note that in Festival Plaza, you can potentially get a bouncy house that looks like a shiny Drifblim, so that would not be a bad idea at all, because it'll match your own shiny!

    At 983 random encounters in the Lush Jungle, I found my seventh Sun / Moon shiny - Paras..
    It ain't shiny Oranguru, but it's still a shiny something. :3

    For a player who only goes for competitive, I rarely encounter shinies. That's why I'm attached to the Drifloon. I'm planning to take it with me online after a bit of training.

    Since getting Dewpider, Lillipup, and Pikipek, I also ran into a random shiny Cubone and snagged a shiny Roggenrola via SOS at a chain of 34.

    I caught a shiny Yungoos as the first or second Pokemon I encountered after I just restarted the game and received my starter xD.

    I had to SOS chain to get a shiny Pikipek when I first started. It was grueling, but I did it while I was at work, so it turned out alright. I just lose focus easily.

    I mostly get my shinies from trading, though.

    I have so far acquired only two shiny pokemon.

    My first Shiny was a Beedrill that I was lucky enough to acquire during a Wonder Trade. It's a 6/6 IV, Jolly natured, has Sniper, has pokerus, level 100, and is from Spain (I'm not sure if it's a fake or a clone, and I haven't really bothered to check.).
    I haven't really wanted to use it, but it's still a hell of a lucky find in a wonder trade.

    The second shiny I acquired is a shiny Eevee. I bred it while I was mass breeding for 6/6 IV Eevee's. It has 4/6 IV's, Modest nature. Named him "Silverado".

    I stumbled upon a shiny formantis my first time going through the route. This was when the game came out and I wasn't really familiar with pokemon colours. I wasn't paying attention and I almost missed the shiny animation! I came so close to just killing it without knowing.

    I'm really happy it was a formantis too, since lurantis is one of my favourites this gen.
