Have not yet found one in my Pokémon White. First and only shiny I came across was about seven years ago in Firered, a shiny Slugma. Still remember it.. I desperately tried to catch it, he must have had about 1-10 HP left, but he just wouldn't get in the damn ultra ball xd
Had to give up... After I had bought new Ultra Balls I returned to the spot and the first, normal, slugma that appeared I immediately caught, first turn, full HP. Like srsly D:

So no shinies for me yet!

Besides the preset shinies, I haven't encountered one in the wild yet. I'm pretty sure this is the only generation too in which I haven't. To my chagrin, I found Pokecheck, and now I kind of don't appreciate shiny Pokemon as much. I do kind of wish I hadn't though and that every shiny could be worth more.

While ev training, I found a shiny Swadloon, the first I have ever caught. I once found a shiny tentecool TWICE in a row, and i'm not even joking. I didn't catch them because I was 10 years old playing hg for the first time, and thought that it wasn't such a rare occurance. Plus, I hated tentecools.

The only one I've came across so far was a lvl 54 Woobat in Clay Tunnel. It was my first time in there and it appeared on my second battle.
I almost killed it with a crit but luckily it survived and an ultra ball did the rest :)

Early I stated how while I was breeding for EV training a Charizard, I had hatched a shiny Charmander.. I didn't touch in until now and I never knew that when it evolved into a Charizard it was almost completely Black. It's now one of my favorite and most prized Pokemon. Right next to my Alakazam that is.

Whilst finding Eevee's in Castelia City, I found a shiny Rattata and called it Rabies. But the other day I was playing on Platinum and my Regirock got Pokerus! The first time I've ever got that so I sent Regi to B2 so that I can EV train pokemon quicker.

Just caught a shiny Pelipper on Route 22!! Fourth shiny catch this gen. And, if memory serves correct, this also means I've caught one shiny on each of the 4 main series games (B/W/B2/W2).

The only shiny I've ever encountered was one of the recent gifts from EBgames, and that was my first time ever downloading a pokemon. Felt awesome but I've never found a shiny naturally.

So far in my White 2 game i've found 3 shinies. First I bred a shiny Yanma which I evolved into Yanmega. Then i found shiny Meinshao that I caught while looking for a Beartic and a shiny Sandshrew that I found and caught at the desert resort.
