As a kid, I caught a full-odds shiny Oddish in the Safari Zone in Sapphire. Unfortunately, I no longer have it. That's my only legit shiny, apart from several Red Gyarados from various Johto playthroughs.

These are my 1/65536 odds Shinies—all "glistening" upon transfer to SWSH, with the exception of Wartortle (12.5% female) and Wormadam (nontransferable to SWSH but checked via third-party software). Porygon2 was random, sort of (accident while SRing for a certain nature). Golduck, Quagsire, and Foongus popped up while hunting other 'mon.


Also notable are my random Shiny Flareon (3DS odds but RANDOM SHINY EEVEE?!), 25% male Glameow, and random 10% Misdreavus. Throwing in Mothim as well since I was specifically hunting a male (without Cute Charm), essentially doubling its rarity.


EDIT 2: Added Burmy and Deerling (confirmed glistening via third-party software).

EDIT 3: Added Zangoose (confirmed glistening via third-party software).

EDIT 4: Added 5% Larvitar.

I have a shiny tera raid luvdisc from sv, thats pretty cool! the odds are more than full odds so thats all i got lol

Thought of full-odds shinies first. Remembered something rarer. Bred a Chespin in Y (no Shiny Charm) and a Canvanha in Ultra Sun (with a Shiny Charm). Believes Carvanha was not with the Matsuda Method. (No clue on Chespin. Was not specifically trying for shinies, however.) Rolled 6 perfect IVs on both with their Hidden Ability. Definitely did not have 6 perfect IVs on both parents, at minimum.

Math for getting 6 perfect IVs and the hidden ability with a 5 IV parent + 6 IV parent:
(((1/6) * (1/32)) + ((5/6) * (1/2) * (1/32))) * 0.6

Equals 0.0109, or a hair above 1%. Add whatever the shiny odds were on top of that.

Got a Shiny Poipole in Ultra Sun on the 7th reset! Very quick and quite rare, happy with it ~

A full odds Sandslash on route to victory road in crystal. Fulls odds Raticate cycling road leafgreen. Full odds shinx, medicham, bibarel, starly, Ponyta, Psyduck, kricketune, and tentacool in diamond. Full odds foongus in white. Full odds patrat and purrloin in black2. I guess the rest of my collection in xy, um, sw, and sc without shiny charm are also "rare", but I never attempted obtaining the shiny charm in any game as of yet. The closest 2 I'm to obtaining the shiny charm is gen 6 and 7, I thought I was close to getting it in black2, but I forgot you had to see victini and the other myths including legendaries I assume.

These aren't the rarest of shinies, but they're the rarest of the ones I've found.

Full odds (with the Shiny Charm) in White 2, a shiny Dunsparce in shaking grass (which had a 10% chance of appearing in the shaking grass on that particular route). It also has an Adamant nature and apparently a perfect 31 Attack IV. (unfortunately it has Run Away as the ability...)

There was also the time I found a shiny Pawniard on the very first encounter in a Friend Safari. I know the shiny rates are boosted there and I did have the Shiny Charm there as well, but it was still the very first thing I found when I entered that Friend Safari.

 

[Alex_Among_Foxes]

My shiny VC Crystal Celebi I named Bubblegum. I honestly don't even know how many times I reset looking for it, though it feels under odds.

 

[ReKoil]

In terms of rarity I'll just go with the shinies I caught in the older games as I never had anything special to boost my odds there:
-A Hariyama in Emerald, which got traded away.
-A Magneton and Graveller from Heart Gold.
-A Foongus in Black that became an Amoonguss.
-An Ariados in Moon.

I caught a shiny Aron in Ruby Version last weekend. I was over the moon! So naturally I named him Moonsilver.

 

[TeeVeeBlue]

My rarest shiny was probably my first shiny—Litwick in White 2. It was full-odds, so about 1/8000. He's my mascot in Pokémon home now

Otherwise, the one that took the longest was probably shiny Xerneas in dynamax adventures. I have the shiny charm, but it still took well over 200 tries

 

[Rock_Salazar]

I'd say my rarest shinies were both a tentacruel caught on the same route east of Cianwood City, next to the Whirlpool Islands. Reason being is that I encountered a shiny tentacruel there twice. Once in HeartGold, and another in Gold VC. I just so happened to be passing by without a repel and had the exact same encounter across generations.

 

[kevin24]

got this on the 19th. only second week of hunting it after taking a break from lucario

 

[EnKeyDu]

My rarest mainline game shiny is probably the Bulbasaur I spent a few weeks soft resetting for in FireRed a couple years ago. It felt great to finally get that after hours upon hours of trying not to zone out and miss it, along with dealing with crappy screen lighting faking me out.

My rarest spin-off game shiny has to be a shiny tentacool from Pokémon Rumble, of all things. Honestly sometimes I wonder if I'm imagining it, but I have hazy memories of playing the game as a kid, getting a Tentacool from one of the stages, and thinking that it looked a little funny, but it was week so I just left it. I don't think I registered what it was until years after the fact.

after 5+ weeks of hunting finally got it
