Has anyone caught or hatched any shiny Pokemon in any of the games? I caught a shiny Poochyena in Sapphire, I caught a shiny Ledyba in X and I hatched a shiny Vulpix in X (It took forever and it hatched when I gave up trying to get one XD)

In Pokemon Gold, I bought an Abra with coins as a prize at the casino place in Goldenrod, it was a shiny. That's the last one I remember clearly. I've never had the patience to try and get a shiny, honestly. :'D

Hatched a Shiny Eevee a few months ago in Pokemon X. Evolved it into a Shiny Umbreon. That's only shiny I've ever gotten in all my years with the series.

I wanted a shiny Eevee but after all I went through to get my shiny Vulpix I decided to give myself a long break from it XD If I do ever get one then I'm going to evolve it into Glaceon

I've actually found a couple of shinies on Friend Safari: Duosion, Abra, Audino, Galvantula and Shuppet.

I'm the QUEEN at chainfishing in X/Y. I mostly only chain fish to find shiny pokemon for my friends though because they have no patience while I have the determination.

Hoo boy, where do I start? I have a strange bit of luck when it comes to finding shinys, but almost every one of them has been one I'll never use.

The first was back in Gen III with a shiny Safari Zone Psyduck, but I forgot about it and erased that game. When Gen IV rolled around, I caught a shiny Kricketune in a Diamond re-run, and later a shiny Raticate while RNGing something else entirely.

Fast forward to HG/SS, where I caught my first quasi-useful shiny, a female Nidoran. I say quasi-useful, because of the wonderful oddity of Nidorina/Nidoqueen being sterile. Later on, I caught a shiny Luvdisc while heart scale farming in the same game. Nothing else popped up until B2, when I was filling out the habitat list and a shiny Audino decided it wanted to keep up the tradition. And just a few weeks after initially beating Y, the torch was passed to Gen VI with a shiny Tauros. However, thanks to Wonder Trade, that Tauros was sent off to a new home shortly after I acquired him.

Of course, I'm not counting all the shinys I've pulled up thanks to Chain Fishing, or the ones I've bred through RNGing.

I've actually caught quite a few. In my Pearl, which is where my pre-gen 5 shines are, I've got a Crobat, Primeape, Venonat, Raticate and Linoone. In XY I've found a shiny Skiddo, Octillery & Gyarados. I almost got a Gabite in a safari, but when I false-swiped it it did take down and killed itself :(.

My very first shiny was a Wurple I caught in Sapphire, which later evolved into a Dustox. I later caught a shiny Poochyena in Emerald on the same route where I found the Wurple. :D I've also gotten a shiny Pichu in Crystal, a shiny Safari Zone Goldeen in FireRed, a shiny Yanma from a horde in Y, and I recently got a shiny Totodile from a trade with a friend.

I once caught a shiny Gloom in Pearl, and evolved it into a Vileplume.

I've caught a shiny Bidoof in Diamond, and a shiny Watchog in X. Yes, the two most useless Pokemon ever I caught as shiny. So sad, just so sad.

I've only ever randomly encountered 2 shinies, and both were Tentacool. One I know was in LeafGreen, and the other was in Emerald, I believe.
I don't have enough patience to breed for shininess. I've briefly tried chain breeding in X to try to get a shiny eevee, but I kept messing it up.

The only shiny I've ever found was a Magikarp in Fire Red. Being a stupid little kid, I traded it way, not knowing it was rare. I think I got a Deoxys out of it though so it wasn't all bad.

I caught a shiny Spearow in FireRed, but then my little « Cow Poopoo » of a brother stole my game and deleted my file.
