  • I caught a shiny zubat in the begining of the game. Other than that, I havent seen many. Maybe I saw one when I was little and didnt understand.

  • I've found quite a few shinies outside of the red Gyarados in crystal. The main ones I remember are; a shiny elekid(odd egg), houndour, geodude, and dunsparce. I may have had more but those are all I can think of right now.

  • I found a shiny Stantler and Shiny Swinub while doing my Normal UMC on this region. Only caught the Swinub though, ran out of Great Balls on the Stantler.

  • Except for Red Gyarados, I found a shiny Golbat on the Whirl Islands in Crystal.
    I'm really unlucky with shinies, and this is the only shiny I've got without trading.
    Shame it's stuck on my Crystal...

  • Never found a shiny Pokemon other than red Gyarados, talk about bad luck!
    It doesn't bother me that much though because I usually don't like the appearances of shiny Pokemon.

  • Aside from the Red Gyarados, I actually caught a shiny metapod, I think I was just lucky but didn't take it seriously.

  • The only legit shiny I've ever caught or even SEEN is my shiny Tangela that I found in Crystal. I've known about shinies for years and I know almost every shiny color. I've also used trades and cheats but that is my only legit 1 in 9000-something chance shiny and I LOVE it!

    I have lots of shinies from trades and stuff and I, of course, caught the Red Gyarados in Silver. I breed shinies and also use RNG to chain them but the only RANDOM encounter I've had with a shiny came in Heart Gold when I was walking through Ilex Forest when I encountered a Caterpie. I called it Golderpie, then Blingapod and then Shinyfree.

  • I caught a shiny Goldeen in Gold back when I was younger. I was afraid of letting it evolve into a Seaking 'cause I thought it would loose it's shiny-ness.

  • I've (of course) got the Red Gyrados in both Silver and Crystal.

    In Crystal I caught a Shiny Rattata, but lost it due to some jerk taking my game and saving over it with a new file (Lost my lvl 100 Typhlosion. Grr.)

    In Silver while exploiting the Daycare glitch I got a PokeRus infected Shiny Beedrill if that counts for anything.

    I've been trying like crazy to get a Shiney Abra and Meowth. No luck so far.
