Please tell me what the odds are that in 1 week I find 3 shinies in my 3 different games when I am just restarting to play mono runs? I'm here just trying to do a mono-normal run in UM and BAM third pokemon encounter is a shiny caterpie. Not just that but I caught Pikipek with an adamant nature and a yungoos with strong jaw and impish nature. Some of the best natures you can get for these mons. All on first tries! The other day I'm just grinding in the grass in Platinum, BAM shiny Ponyta! And I was playing AS and BAM shiny Zigzagoon. ALL in the same week and all early game. What are the odds? I need to play the Hot Lotto man!

Seems like you got quite lucky! Rates are low even with the Shiny Charm and Masuda Method (for breeders), meaning much less so for completely random encounters with no boosts. Congrats. =)

In Y I found a shiny Seviper in a horde while passing through route 8 and a shiny Hippodown on route 9 not even 10 minutes later... I couldn't believe my eyes.
What are the odds of that? I will never be that lucky again in my life.

Damn that is pretty lucky, gg! \o/

Luckiest moment for me was this time I was hunting for hidden ability Eevees in Ultra Moon. Before I could find one however, a shiny Eevee appeared! Now that was pretty cool and unexpected, but I still didn't get the hidden ability I wanted, so after catching it I tried again... then another shiny Eevee appeared! This time it was female, which I think is even more rare, right? Anyways this was back to back, which was insane. I don't even have the shiny charm or anything, I was just doing chain encounters (and I wasn't even that far in). o.o

Sometimes the stars align in just the right way, hehe.
I don't talk much.

Ha Ha Ha pretty lucky but I got luckier I found a shiny munchlax in one of the sinnoh games don't remember which one though
and 3 shiny female Combee's in a row but that's still pretty lucky
but maybe its because I had the shiny charm but still.
I'm an adult who still might have the mind of a child.

Literally never been this lucky in my life, haha. My best was like two shiny Fairy types over the span of four months. Good work on all y'all raking in those shinies though! Here's to even more. :)
