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.
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.
hmm. found a shiny (green) weedle during the bug contest one time. evolved it untill beedrill.... didnt really do much for me tho.. i mean, its shiny but its a beedrill... haha
