3rd Gen Have you found any shinies in 3rd gen?

Found a shiny Zigzagoon, in my first time playing Emerald though I accidently killed it :( Then in Firered, I found a shiny Ratatta before I had any pokeballs. Bad luck with third gen shiny's :/
 
I found two shiny Golbat (green) in a succession of thirty minutes or so in Victory Road. I caught both of them, but I felt it unfair that both the shinies should be the same Pokémon. Another time, when I was playing a slightly modified version of a Ruby ROM on an emulator, I got a purple shiny spheal that eventually evolved into Walrein, and I do think I have the ROM save somewhere, but it's on an emulator, so I'm not counting that.
 
I only found one shiny in Gen III. It was a Geodude in Sapphire when I was younger. Sadly, I didn't have any balls :(
 
The first shiny pokemon i've ever met was at FR and it was a meowth, because then i was a small kid i threw the master ball thinking it was impossible to catch because it was shiny. xD
 
My first was a hariyama in pokemon emerald in victory road. Caught it but will prob never use it
 
I found my first shiny in sapphire it was a zigzagoon, after him I found a shiny oddish. Both zigzagoon and oddish I found in sapphire while doing a challange so I couldn't use them.
 
Besides a shiny geodude which I caught and eventually transferred up to my Pokemon Black as a Golem, I've only seen one other shiny.

It was a Zigzagoon. More specifically the one that Wally uses to battle the wild Ralts with. ...
Oh, you can bet that was depressing. I reset the game after throwing it at the wall.
 
Yes I have yet I was so young at the time that I did the stupid thing and killed it
 
I am going to get bunch of money using the team rocket grunt's nuggets (I can handle losing to that guy xyz times, because deep in my heart I know I am letting him win xD) and then I will keep buying all those Pokemon and soft resetting. Hopefully I'll get a shiny :D
 
I did! it was a Sableye in emerald... :I i found it while i was going up rayquaza's tower. i had a hard time there and maybe the little fellow poked me due to pity... haha
 
My first shiny was a Linoone at Route 119 while on the way to Fortree. I've encountered other shinies too, like Voltorb, Golbat and Tropius.
 
My first shiny was a shiny Claydol in Pokemon black.I was about to fight Volcarona and then when I was about to walk up and fight it,a shiny Claydol appears.I caught it and gave it an awful nickname: WHAT?!?!?!.Yeah,I named it that because of the sheer surprise of encountering it.Thankfully,before transferring it to Pokemon X&Y,I renamed it Cosmo.
 
Unfortunately not. :( I've always had bad luck when it comes to shinies. That's probably because I avoid wild encounters a lot, haha.
 
Well, I played Fire Red a lot, so I caught lots of shinies too. I usually get them when I train before Elite Four at Victory Road. I remember, when I got 2 geodudes on my first playthrough lol :D. But the one that I'm most proud of was shiny Voltorb, man he looks so cool :D.
