    Since the GBA games have been out, I have only ever found one shiny. I did actually level up that Pidgey into a Pidgeot. I no longer use it now, though.

    I got a shiny Lairon on my sapphire version a few years ago. It is now a lvl50 Aggron. I used to use Aggron for battle tower but it wasn't strong enough for the higher ranked trainers. So i just left it rot in the PC box.

    I have a shiny Bidoof, Buziel and Luxray. The Bidoof is rotting in my box and always will. The shiny Luxray started off as a shiny Shinx but that I used it in my Pearl game which I restarted and it was a big part in my team. The shiny Buziel is in my Diamond team now.

    My only shiny is a Red Gyarados in Platinum, and a Blue Cresselia in Pearl. Gyarados is lv. 69, Cresselia is 100 and holds on a lot of hits.

    I don't really level up my shinies, I only display them in the box.

    I don't level up my shinies, just for collection.

    I train shinies that I actually want to use in battle. I generally leave the others alone to maintain the UT value for potential trades. When I train shinies, though, I always EV them, as it seems like a waste of their potential not to EV train them.

    Yep. I actually look for shiny pokemon worthy of competetive battling. I know it sounds crazy but if I get a shiny with whack IVs and nature, I let it go or give it away.

    I would, but I only seem to capture shiny Menokurage (Tentacool), which are useless. . And, by the time I come across a shiny Menokurage, I already have one which evolved by that time.
