4th Gen Have you found any Shinies?

I accidently got a Shiny Chimchar.... Greatest feeling, first play...
 
Only the Red Gyarados, but that doesn't really count since he's a guaranteed shiny.
 
ONE TIME I was doing this challenge in SoulSilver and found a shiny Ekans, but I couldn't use Ekans for that challenge, so I caught it and named her Pants and I traded her to HeartGold and used her on my team there and I still have her and yeah. /run on
 
Beside the red gyarados in hg/ss I got a shiny corsola in the sea route from olivine city to cianwood city.
And in DP, I got a shiny geodude in oreburgh city mine
 
Never found a shiny on any Gen IV games, I feel left out :(
 
Sadly enough, nope. ;_; I'd crossed my fingers that I would find one via random encounter when playing but in the end luck was not on my side. Would've been pretty awesome to get a shiny in the Johto region as my very first shiny was originally found in Crystal as well. Ah well.

The best way to make people feel better when they feel down about not getting a shiny in a certain a game is to tell them a story of me getting a wild shiny.
Here's how it goes:
THE END

Oh crap, it didnt even start! That's right, almost 10 YEARS OF TRAINING, 100's of hours on all the generations (1-4) and the number of wild shinies I saw equals to ZERO. Lol

Come on, this has to make you feel better xD


For this reason, I give myself right to brag about my awesome chaining skills ^^ (Poochyena, Electrikes, and oh so many shiny Beldums), but that's Platinum, so it's offtopic :D
 
At the Skills Development Center's rec center ( a place I go to, because I have autism) in their copy of Heart Gold, I caught a shiny female Hothot, I named Tori from the TV show Victorious.
 
I don't have any shining Pokémon except the red Gyarados and the Pikachu-colored Pichu from GameStop.
 
Playing SS, I found a shiny Tentacool shortly after beating Red for the first time. I have played since Red and Blue versions and this is the first shiny I have ever found in the wild. Wish it was a more exciting one, but it is still neat ^^. Not sure if I will leave it in SS or trade it up as I progress through the generations.
 
When I owned Pokemon SoulSilver when it first came it out in 2010.

I found a Shiny Rattata In Union Cave!
I had no clue what it was, so i deleted my save data. ;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;;-;
 
No matter how hard I looked in HeartGold I could not find a shiny Pokemon for the life of me! I managed to find 3 in Pokemon Diamond upon randomness and breeding but no luck in HG besides red gyarados.
 
I find it strange that I'm not the only one here to report Shiny Graveler sightings... o_o I've actually seen three! Two in Pearl, that blew up in my face, atomising my glory, and one in Platinum which I did manage to catch. I traded it over to my Soul Silver before I erased my file. Yay, shiny Golem!

The first Shiny I ever encountered that wasn't a special freebie was a Shiny Unown... Seriously. One of the worst possible Shiny Pokémon ever!

The only other one I've seen and caught since, in any Generation, was my Shiny blue Psyduck in Diamond. I love it! :)
 
I found a Shiny Shinx at the beginning of my latest play through of Platinum.
