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

It was on Pokemon Emerald 386 hack, found a shiny Nidoran (the male one) sadly I don't like that pokemon and never used it.
 
Ohhhhh snap. I just found a Nidoran M Shiny in the Safari zone on F/R.

"Its right here Ray, its looking at me."
 
GOT IT!!! Wooo woo! I got the vid on my iphone, I was playing the game on my GameCube GBA adapter! I'll get the video up here shortly.
 
I was able to find a shiny Oddish (safari zone) and a shiny Zubat (some cave somewhere) which I luckily didn't forget about and traded them to my copy of Pokemon Black. However since I'm not really into either of them I guess the PC will be their home for all eternity.
 
Yep, many times!

In RSE I've found a shiny Swablu, Spinda, Golbat, Oddish, Abra, and Poochyena.

And in FRLG I've found a shiny Venonat, Diglett, and two shiny Rattatas.
 
My first non-gen 2 shiny was from Sapphire! I didn't play it when it originally came out, though - instead I was playing through it for the first time in 2013, and I came across a Zigzagoon that I was pretty sure did not look brown. I caught it just to be safe, and lo and behold, it was shiny! That Zigzagoon started me on my current shiny streak. :)

It was a long time before I started encountering legitimate shinies. My first shiny encounter in 3rd Gen was a Metapod in Viridian Forest.
I used Pikachu, Thunder Shock. It did just over half HP damage. My starter had fainted from poisoning, so Pikachu was my only choice.
Long story short, I ran out of Pokéballs, because a METAPOD of all things decided to resist capture. :(
 
Indeed I have, several as a matter of fact.
Shiny Abra
Shiny Hoppip
Shiny Porygon
Shiny Dratini
Shiny Charmander
Shiny Magikarp
Shiny Chansey
Shiny Aerodactyl

Thats 8 shinies. All of these were on my FireRed. There was that point in my life where I was addicted to hunting for shinies, I spent hours a day just Soft Reseting. The only one of those that I found on accident was hoppip. I ended up losing that FireRed while moving :'(
 
I caught a shiny Doduo once in the Safari Zone on a firered save but it ended up getting wiped! I really want a shiny Ponyta!
 
I can't post links yet so just check the attachment.I'm on a Fire Red shiny hunt.
