Worst Shiny Experience

The one that got away. :'( Encountered a shiny Lillipup at the beginning of a new game I started on my White version and only had 3 poke balls at the time. I was too scared to actually damage it, and wasn't able to catch it in 3 tries and failed.

Luckily a shiny Gothita I encountered last month made up for that, lol.

I wish I could remember the generation (I think it was II) or the Pokemon, but the first shiny I saw I didn't know what was going on. It was a weak Pokemon that I had already caught for my Pokedex. Since I didn't realize what a shiny Pokemon was...I just killed it and took the experience. You can imagine how I felt when I realized what a shiny was. :(

I've had many bad shiny experiences.

#1: Shiny Rattata in Gold, no Pokédex yet.
#2: Shiny Jolteon in the Battle Pyramid in Emerald.
#3: Shiny Metagross in the Battle Tower in Ruby.
#4: Shiny Combee... male shiny Combee.

I lol'd at the Combee one. Not at your misfortune, but just how unlucky that circumstance is.

The only bad experience with a shiny that I ever had was in Ruby, I ran into a green Golbat while grinding my Crobat. Low and behold, nothing to catch it with. -_-

My worst shiney moment was tryna catch the silver rattatta in pokemon gold (original) off pallet town it was level 5 yet breaking out of all the poke balls and all if my pokemon were too strong to hit it

My worst moment would have to be when I found a shiny mienfoo. I had been hunting for days at Dragonspiral tower, and had looked away... and saw the blue pokemon...

As I was running away. I checked my pokedex to confirm it, and sure enough, I had missed it :(

Fled from a shiny Sableye in Sapphire, a shiny Shellder in FireRed and a shiny Machop in LeafGreen.

mixed feeling about this white forest wild pidgy SHINY POKERUS shame it was just a pidgy
but thats not it back in gen. II my rivals tododile was SHINY WHAT THE #### was not shiny when i looked at it NIIIIIIIICK!!!!!!!!! GAMEFREAK >(

I'm not sure if this counts, but I ALMOST ran away from a shiny Unown in my Ruby Destiny Reign of Legends ROM. I still shiver at the thought that I was about press B on 'RUN' before I realized that the Unown was blue.

I have the worst past with shinies.I can usually can catch them but i forget to save for some reason.Has happened to me three times./gets shot.

When I encountered a shiny Pidove in a nuzlocke challenge, but it wasn't the first Pokemon that I saw there ;;

I almost caught it anyways, but of course the crit hax came to bite me.

While I'm doing Nuzlockes Shiny Pokes can't die for me
But if course, when I was lucky enough to find one i critted it

Shiny rabuta berry...I mean basculin
Wild basculin used final gambit!

What. WHAAAAAAAAA

I found a shiny Shellos in Pearl and couldn't catch it because I had just used my last Poke Ball to catch a Buizel.

I don't believe I have ever encountered a Shiny that wasn't meant to be there (i.e. Shiny Haxorus, Gyarados, etc), but over the semester break I tried chaining for the first time. I got some fairly long chains, mainly with Shinx or Stantler, but it always broke. Once my chain was broken by Azelf. Now that was annoying.

Catching a shiny Tentacool... has to be one of the Pokemon I hate the most xP

Shiny Tentacool...I had only one Great ball, tried tocatch the Tentacool with it, but it didn't work.

I have had three bad shiney experiences, the 1st was in gen 2 when the rival had a shiney totodile, and again in gen 3 with emerald with the ralts/ and the was a third, the man who teaches to catch a pokemon in the remakes of RBY was shiney.

On Iron Island with the guy I'm supposed to help. His Pokemon knocked out a shiny Graveler. I was so mad!

Mine was when I was in the Bug Catching Contest on HG, and found a Shiny Metapod, when I ran out of Park Balls and was called back...
