Do You Level Up Your Shinies?

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.
 
Well no, I only put them in my box in Diamond, I only trained one and that is my shiny shinx and it evolves to luxray now, I only collect them hehe..
 
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.
 
Oddly enough, no actually. I had a shiny solrock, but i never took the time to lvl it up, the same for the rest of my shinies...
 
Not really. If I find a shiny I just keep it and show it off.
 
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 had save & loaded ,saved & loaded & finally got a shiny Empoleon .. just save until u get it .......
 
I have a lvl 36 Shiny Mightyena and a lvl 45 Shiny Cloyster. I caught them both at lvl 10.
 
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.
