One of mine?

Finding a random encounter Shiny Golduck around Black City (can't remember which route). I caught it, feeling really awesome.

Few days later, had a loose screw in my brain, and traded it. Haven't seen another random shiny since.

I still search desperately for it in my PC boxes to this day, with the small hope of finding it.

I ran into a shiny Riolu in Black a year ago. I accidentally made it faint when my starter landed a critical hit on the poor thing. I'm still bitter about it.

The ONLY shiny pokemon I've ever seen in the wild is a Ralts. Do you want to know where? It was the one Wally caught in Emerald. -_- You heard me. I had to fight a shiny Gardevoir the rest of the game. I wanted to cry when I saw that thing.
What's your worst experience with a shiny Pokemon?
Just for the record, I challenge anyone to come up with anything worse than what happened to me. Hahahaha.

I had a similar experience, except it was the Poochyena that made Birch his *****, I had no Pokeballs so I had to kill it begrundigly ...

I don't take it as a bad shiny experience but I would like to share it to you..
I was training my nuzlocke team at seafoam islands when i ran into a shiny seel.
but, i dont have any pokeballs, except, i have a master ball. But with my love for shiny pokemon, i was forced 2throw my master ball.

Yeah, I doubt there's much that can top what happened to you. That sucks, dude.

As for me, I was fishing in my sister's LeafGreen out in Cerulean City when I randomly came across a golden Magikarp. Her Pokémon were too strong to attack it so I had to resort to using the little Pokéballs she had left in her bag. It was probably the most stubborn Magikarp I came across, because not for anything would it just stay in the darn Pokéball. Suffice to say, I never managed to catch it.
