  • In all of my years of playing Pokemon, completing most of the games and completing the Dex' in Silver I've never seen a shiny.

    I really wish that shininess was still related to a Pokemon's IV's.

  • Theres a 50% percent chance of getting a shiny Pokemon from the Day Care mystery egg.
    From that Ive gotten a shiny Igglybuff and Magby. :)
    In the wild below Ecruteak I caught a shiny Hoothoot. :P

    I got a shiny Pidgey, and also found a shiny Rattata. That's about it for me, I think. And I've spent countless of hours grinding and trying to catch every pokémon I can find.

  • Even though I've played through Crystal many a time and hatched the Mystery Egg loads of times, I've never got the Shiny from it despite it being 50% Shiny :/ . I've got a few in Gen 3 and loads in Gen 4 though so it's all good :D .

  • I never caught a shiny in G/S/C (excluding the shiny Gyarados, of course.). ;_; The only shiny Pokemon I have ever caught have been in the 4th Generation games. xD

  • It's weird but most of my shinies in G/S/C were poison, I still remember my first- shiny Koffing :)
    I had also: Victreebell (from Bellsprout), Crobat ( one from Zubat one from Golbat), Beedrill (from Kakuna), Jumpluff (from Hoppip), Pidgeot( from Pidgey), Noctowl (from Hoothoot), Snorlax and that was very funny- I didn't want Snorlax, I just wanted his Leftovers, but I forgot to teach a Pokemon Thief, fortunately I saved before battle, when I restarted the game Snorlax was Shiny. Kinda cool :) I also had a shiny Sudowoodo and a Hypno (from Drowzee). But my favourite was Tentacruel! It looked awesome in Crystal! I always wanted shiny Skarmory, but I had'nt that much luck :/

  • I've caught some:
    Gold: Rattata x2 (different playthroughs), Ursaring and maybe Geodude (I kind of remember that it was the first shiny I saw but it's been long time and I think I caught it)
    Silver: Raticate
    Crystal: None other than the Gyarados as in other games too :D

    I'm pretty sure I only caught a shiny Caterpie in Ilex forest. Besides that I once saw a shiny Delbird in Ice Path, but I didn't have any poke balls on me. Although it wasn't really a total loss since I don't like Delibird to begin with, but there is somehing about encountering a shiny Pokemon that makes my heart aflutter<3

    I caught a purple drowzee in the route right before goldenrod.
    I also found a shiny butterfree in the bug catching contest. It always kinda annoyed me that i lost that particular contest, i was hoping that seeing as they are so rare shinies would be worth more points or something, but NOOOOO. Oh well, it makes for a good story XD.
