I've been trying to chain for shinies in swarms since I'm still new at it, but the last 3 or 4 days there haven't really been any pokémon I'm really interested in shiny wise. After my Shinx hunt, I chained for bidoof (what? It's easy to start with lol) and I got two. After that, Farfetch'd was swarming the next day and I got my chain to 40 and caught 4. It was an awesome day for me. XD But, my chain broke from a Bibarel. p_p Oh well. Since then, I've been trying to chain Houndour but my chain keeps breaking and I get frustrated with it. I also got a chain of 37 Ariados last night but it broke from Pinsir. ;_;

Oh my god you guys! I just found a shiny!

After just 350 Pokemon in Eterna Forest (on the 351st Pokemon) I found a Shiny Bidoof. Not one that I was looking for, but hey, it's shiny! This was the very first encounter I did today!

It's Gentle and has Simple.

When I was recording the video, it stopped recording half way through thanks to my SD card being full. (Even though my camera is supposed to tell me, but it surely did not.) So, I don't have the capture on film. So really, the video I took is pointless. But..I will still upload it. Here are the pictures!

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! I WAS JUST TALKING TO ZABI AND IVYON ON MSN AND A SHINY STARLY HATCHED! ON THE 7TH EGG! HOLY JESUS!

It's Careful and Female, no egg moves.

Finally got a few pokémon worth chaining in the swarms the last couple days. Got myself a shiny cubone, only one since I accidentally ran into a different patch and broke the chain. Then today, I spent hours with about 6 or 7 chains breaking in high numbers and finally got to 40 to chain Larvitar! Actually, I caught a shiny one at chain 19 but kept going for a few more and wound up with 6 (3 female and 3 male lol). XD

I hatched a shiny Poochyena after 135 eggs :D the sad thing is that that is my first and only shiny (not counting the red Gyarados). I feel so lucky because its nature is jolly hahaha. I'm ev training it even though it doesn't exactly have great stats, but meh.

Captured a Quiet-natured Geodude while looking for Hippopotas in Maniac Tunnel in Diamond. Nature sucks, but oh well, it's shiny! Was also completely random with no poke radar.

I tried chaining once, but I gave up on that. In Platinum, I was lucky and caught 3 Shinies. The first was Quagsire in the Safari Zone, the Second was a Red Gyrados caught with a Super Rod in the Post-Game Area, and the third was Shiny HootHoot. The ironic part about catching Red Gyrados is that I caught him on the bus ride to school, and when I came back, I found that the existence of HeartGold and SoulSilver had been leaked when I was at school, and Red Gyrados is in that game.

Shiny...
Staravia, Wurmple, Breloom, Dratini, Charmander, Rotom, Gyarados (bred), Bronzor, Combee (female), Tentacool, Chimchar, Squirtle, Slowpoke, Pineco, Umbreon, Haunter, Gastly, Duskull... aw heck. I'm stopping there. I RNG it. ;) The Staravia was random encounter in Platinum, the Wurmple in Soulsilver. My first shiny was Hoothoot in Gold version, which I caught twice. After the first time, when I had beaten the game, my save file was corrupted. Then I found another shiny Hoothoot in the same place outside New Bark. Both times I had already obtained Poke balls.

I used to be part of a site like this back when my Wifi worked, so I have loads of shinies. I've only ever caught one not counting HGSS's Lake of Rage Gyarados - in Sapphire. It was a Poochyena, and about 5 years ago. xD

i was chaining for a camerupt and i encountered a torkoal, didnt think much of it so i started to chain for torkoals because i was having a hard time with camerupt, like 3-4 torkoals later i saw a shiny patch of grass! it was a shiny female torkoal that ended up being lax so it was even better!

pretty happy about that but still want to get a shiny camerupt, i have chained to 37 and a weezing destroyed my progess... oh well.

if you got the national dex you can use the radar to chain for one, or just use the quick trade thread and hope someone else will trade you one.

::EDIT::
wow, no one else got a shiny in the last eight days?

I got a shiny graveler in victory road while trying to find my way through to the end. I named it nugget, and it says encountered at victory road, pretty epic

My first shiny ever was a shiny Igglybuff in my Crystal game. I got it from the egg the daycare man gives you on your way to Goldenrod City.

I regret starting my game over after that, but oh well. That game now has a near complete pokedex.

I have the red Gyrados and the shiny beats, but not much else in the way of shinies. Though my Platinum game has been blessed with the Pokerus virus.

Just tried out the Masuda Method, and on the first night after less than a dozen hatchings, a Shiny Scyther was mine! Omg this is an awesome feeling! The nature is naughty, so at least the nature agrees with attack, but im not so sure about the IVs. I dont really care, because this guy is gonna be my best friend... forever lol. I'm gona EV train it and evolve it to a Shiny Scizor soon hahaha.

Oh crap its got Swarm... dang oh well...

What to do with a Shiny Swarm Scizor...?

My shinies? Well

- Lake Verity while using the Poke Rader (though I'm 99% sure it wasn't chained, 'cause I didn't know what chaining was back then.

- In the safari zone. I was scared it was going to run away :O

- Creepy coincidence. Both found in Eterna Forest (as Wurmple). Beautifly was female, Wurmple was male. Both found on pearl version (but different save files). What's more, the second was in a double battle with Cheryl . . . she nearly ko'd it :O

- Pidgey was caught at route 29 while I was EV'ing scyther; Gastly was caught at Sprout Tower while EV'ing chinchou . . . both in the same day.

I still haven't found anything in white yet :C
