I just captured my 2nd Pearl Version shiny, a Machoke. I'm not good at chaining Pokemon, so I've never gotten a shiny by using the PokeRadar. My first Pearl Version shiny was a Gastly.

I think it's funny how the only 2 shinies I've gotton on Pearl Version involve trading in their evolution lines.

EDIT: And a little over an hour later, I run into a shiny Graveler. I threw 2 balls, but both failed. It used Explosion & fainted.
D: That is the very first shiny Pokemon that I have encountered and didn't catch. I'm sad now...

Well I decided to complete the Unown dex and whilst I was doing it, a Shiny 'O' Unown popped up! That's my newest shiny yet, although I do want to chain some more Pokémon.

In my chaining party I usually have:

1) Togekiss (Knows moves with 32PP , means I don't have to use ethers or visit the pokécenter that often)
2) Scizor (named 'Falsy') this is my False Swiper, knows some attacking moves as well. I swap this for Togekiss when the chain reaches 40.
3) Arceus, my HM slave (I got this in a trade, instead of releasing it I thought I'd better use it)
4) Usually some sort of Syncer, as I usually plan to use the Shinys I've caught in competitive battling, this is cruicial. 99% of the time this Pokémon is an Abra.
5) If it's a steel or electric type, then I will use either my Elekid or my Nosepass.

Good look with your hunting!

*Sigh* I have such bad luck finding shinies. I was hunting for a shiny whooper for some time in D/P, but no luck. *Ish jealous of friend who has two shinies*

I remember my first shiny I ever caught was a Whooper in Gold. I didn't know what it was and I swam around in the same spot for an hour trying to find another pink one.:D

Found a wild Onix, shiny yesterday, send out magmortar. Maggie was 3 levels under this Onix (In Stark Mountain, mind I'm still training her.), thought, Okay, I'll use flamethrower once, it should get it down fairly low. Critical Hit. Onix fainted. Ao fainted. xD

I only have two shinies: my first ever, a mightyena that I migrated from emerald. I was on my way to the safari zone and all of a sudden POOF, beautiful wolf lookin thing. XD My first and only (so far) shiny in diamond was an onix that I encountered when I was training for the pokemon league in on vicotory road. Named it Gem. :D
Ive tried chaining and it just dosnt work well for me. I chained for hours and the longest chain I have on record is 29 Spoinks. My chains always break around 6, and I usually get bored and unmotivated and stop lol. Talk about short attention span...

I only have 3 shinies. Lucky me.

A shiny Pachirisu, which someone traded me off the GTS, as well as a shiny Alakazam, which I got as an Abra, again, off the GTS.

And, I fished up a Magikarp, which soon became a shiny Gyarados.

The first shiny I got in my Pearl version, I got whilst going up Stark Mountain to get Heatran, golden Fearow, didn't have many pokéballs so had to use a masterball, sadly it didn't have a very good nature.
I've only rescently got the knack of chaining so i've now managed to chain the pokémon that it says in my sig :P
Successful Chains so far: Pidgey x4, Starly x1, Staravia x6, Cubone x3, Magnemite x2, Shinx x4, Skitty x3, Machoke x2(Semi-Request), Bellsprout x4, Eevee x1, Chansey x2, Zubat x15, Absol x1
