6th Gen What's the luckiest you've been with shiny hunting?

Wouldn't exactly call this lucky, but While EV training my Pokemon I've seen and caught 2 Shiny Whismur, I don't even have the shiny charm yet.
 
I'm going to state both my luckiest and unluckiest shiny encounters.

Since I've never ran into a shiny in my game, I'll mention the ones from Heart Gold.

Luckiest: While playing PKMN Heart Gold I found a shiny Geodude near the beginning of the game. A few routes after that I found another shiny, but I don't remember what that one was.

Unluckiest: I must have had a super high TSV, because I found a Shiny Slowbro while catching PKMN for my Pokedex. What's unlucky about this you may ask? It was in the Safari Zone. I threw a Safari Ball and it didn't even shake once. It ran next turn.
 
I've had both crazy good luck and crazy bad luck on Alpha Sapphire. I found a shiny Kyurem with only 9 SR's, and found a shiny Trapinch with the DexNav with only maybe 13 encounters or something like that.
 
I managed to stumble across a shiny Ralts with Telepathy the other day.
 
A shiny Feebas and Wailord, both by fishing, and in Emarald 3 years ago, where there were no Dexnavs...I wish I could say that, but, I am kinda impatient guy and shiny hunting ain't for people like me. Still, I was able to chain and hunt down some shinies in OR via that awesome feature, thanks to the inventor of DexNav, or GameFreak in particular. I found a shiny Nincada, a shiny Linoone and a shiny Swablu. Thats it. Yeah, I forgot, I also found a shiny Miltank with four Tauros in a horde encounter in Y. And, I also encountered a shiny Geodude, of level 17, in Victory Road of Kanto/Jhoto in HG.
 
I started shiny hunting last month. Spent a few days hunting a Taillow. In the last 5 days (one of which I didn't hunt during) I have found 7 more, Raikou, Zigzagoon, Terrakion, Poochyena, Kakuna, Entei and Sandshrew.
 
One time when I was breeding a 5IV Buneary, one of the Eggs hatched into a shiny Buneary (only 3 perfect IVs, but who cares?). A few Eggs later, and I got the flawless Buneary I wanted. I EV trained her and evolved her so I could try out Mega Lopunny. I went to the Cave of Origin to troll the local Sableye with Scrappy High Jump Kicks to the face, but to my surprise, the first Sableye I saw was shiny. Thankfully, the Quick Ball worked first try. I got two shinies on the same day. Never have I been so lucky.
 
While I was trying to MM for a shiny Scyther, I accidentally stepped into the grass on the route and encountered a shiny Hopip from the horde.
 
Random, EV training my Venusaur off of the swablu horde area, and pop!
Shiny Female HA Modest Swablu with IVS on Special Defense
 
I was trying to hatch a shiny Eevee... Did it after 100 eggs or so :) Really fast! Turned into a Sylveon.

One or two days later, I was Dex hunting another Eevee, then... Shiny appeared! Turned into a Umbreon.

These guys will go to my Sun, for sure~
 
I hatched a shiny Qwilfish while breeding for a sweeping set. I wasn't even trying, but it was quite a surprise. Then again, Shinies are much easier to find nowadays.

Best IVs are in HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed. Has an Adamant Nature. Swift Swim is it's Ability. Not bad, in my opinion.
 
I was breeding a Pichu once in AS for a few weeks, I was up to 800 eggs and then I took a couple days off of it. When I picked it back up the first egg I hatched was a shiny and I was so surprised at that.
 
I was breeding for a shiny Charmander with 31 IVs in every stat except Special Attack. It took over 1,000 eggs, but I ended up with a total of 6 shinies, including my perfect one.
 
I managed to catch a shiny Deoxys playing through the Delta Episode a second time.
 
Okay so I have two stories.

About a month ago, I was out on Route 101 looking for a Zorua. I wanted to catch one to breed for one with perfect IVs. I'm not even joking, but literally the first Zorua that popped out of the grass was Shiny! And it was at full odds!

Second incident took place at around the same time. I was breeding for a perfect IV'd Skrelp with its HA, and I was starting to run out of patience. I was trying to get this thing for 3 days straight with no luck. All of a sudden, I hatched a Shiny Skrelp, and I wasn't even using the Masuda Method. I don't think I had ever been so ecstatic over a Shiny before until this happened (even though it ended up having the wrong ability).
