3rd Gen Have you found any shinies in 3rd gen?

Found a shiny Zangoose in Expert Emerald! CAUGHT IT IMMEDIATELY

In Leaf Green I found a shiny Pidgeotto in the Berry Forest. Caught and trained it to a Pidgeot. I lost the game a few years ago though.
In Fire Red I have caught a shiny Rattata which I later traded and a shiny Magikarp which I raised into a Gyarados.
In Emerald I found a shiny Shroomish but never caught it as I didn't have any Poke Balls.
I haven't had much luck with shinies, although I could just be forgetting a lot.

In Sapphire I got a shiny Spinda. I didn't even know about shinys at the time; I just caught it because it looked different. It sat in the PC forever after that.

I found a shiny Aron once but deleted that save ages ago

I was so mad when i found my first shiny ever in emerald. I found a pink houndour in the safari after i beat the game and it ran away after i threw one pokeball and missed. That houndour will forever haunt me, taunting me, pink houndour...

I didn't know what shinies were until gen 4. But I did in the end have one. It was a shiny nincada from my first playthough of Ruby. I never thought much about it since I didn't know what they were. I only now that that the nincada was shiny was because I had the Shedinja from the playthrough. The shedinja is currently in my Not for trade box in X and I only realised now it was shiny because of the red star.

I always thought that my first shiny was a bellossom on the GTS in Diamond, after all this time, I knwo that that I was wrong.

I managed to catch a Shiny Zangoose in my Pokémon Emerald save file, as well as a Shiny Pidgey.

Over the years, I've seen plenty of shinies in the 3rd Gen games. Except for a Nidoran female and an Exeggcute in Leaf Green's Safari Zone, I have managed to catch each of those encounters. For sanity's sake, I'll just count the catches I still have:

-a shiny Pikachu in Emerald's Safari Zone (I evolved her into Raichu and transferred her all the way over to Y)
-a shiny Nidoran female in Leaf Green's Safari Zone (this is a different encounter in a separate, much later file)
-a shiny Nidorina in Leaf Green's Safari Zone (in the same file as my second Nidoran female; I ended up transferring this one to 5th gen and trading her)
-a shiny Ponyta found on Mt. Ember in Leaf Green (I traded this one over GTS Negotiations when trying to complete my Pokedex in White 2, as well)
-a shiny Dewgong found in the Seafoam Islands in Fire Red (this one is still in Fire Red)
-a shiny Moltres in Fire Red (caught in the same save as Dewgong, and still in Fire Red)

Whew! :D

My first wild shiny (aside from GSC's Red Gyarados, and my Red Version Blastoise which had the right IVs to appear shiny in GSC/Stadium 2) was a shiny Spinda when EV training in Sapphire. Not the most exciting shiny, to say the least. I also found a shiny Nincada in Emerald, only a few hours into my game. I haven't trained it at all, but I'm excited that I'll essentially get two shinies for the price of one (Ninjask and Shedinja).

Somewhat surprisingly, LeafGreen, which I put the most hours into, never produced any shinies. The same trend held for me in gen 2 as well (no shinies on Gold, my main game, but multiple shinies on a throwaway playthrough of Silver).

I have still never encountered a shiny in any of the gens, but one time when a friend was playing, she found a shiny Poochyena and killed it because she thought it looked weird. xDD Mind you, we were in the third grade...

I have three shinies, two of are tentacools. lol The third I had to farm for, a shiny Charmander. Oh Yeah!!

1 shiny meditite, boxed it and then started my adventure over.

My first shiny found was while I was awakening the Regis. Surfing and diving around led to a shiny Tentacool. You know what happened? I didn't have any Pokeballs. That was the first shiny I ever found too. You can imagine the vehement rage I had...

Second one I found was a shiny Ledyba. In the Safari Zone. Talk about making a hard encounter even harder. Somehow by an unbelievable amount of sheer luck I caught it.

What's funny is the last shiny I ever found was (I know this is Advance forum but I gotta say this) in Pokemon SS in THE SAFARI ZONE. AGAIN. A shiny Gloom, if you will. And yet again, I somehow caught that as well without it fleeing from me.

Ara, ara..Shiny Pokemon?! I caught one before, when i was fishing. I was hoping corphish to pop out but i bump into a shiny tentacool. Herrrr~

I was hatching Pokemon to recreate the Pokemon used in the advanced season and hatched a shiny Torchic that I leveled up to 100 and kept as a Combusken because I never thought May's Torchic would become a Blaziken. I didn't notice it was a shiny until I transferred it from my copy of Sapphire to Soulsilver.

I don't think I've ever even seen a shiny in gen 3 let alone caught one. I think it's the only get where that's the case too, well apart from gen 1 of course. I've haven't caught a shiny in gen 2 either (well apart from the Gyarados), but I did kill a shiny Sandshrew once, before I really understood what a shiny was and how rare they were.

found a shiny raticate on cycling road in FireRed and a shiny graveler in the magma base in emerald.
the graveler blew up however....>:(

The only shiny I've found in Gen III would be a shiny Spearow in LeafGreen. Unfortunately it was a friend's save file which he deleted and started again after saying he would trade it to me.

I Have never gotten a shiny before and been playing since Red and Blue
