I've run across two shinies in FireRed. One was a Rattata that I managed to capture. The other was in Onix I came across while grinding in Victory Road. Unfortunately, I had no Pokeballs at the time. V_V

Out of the 8 years (if not more) that I've been playing the 3rd gen game I hate to say it, but I've only ran into 1 shiny Zigzagoon and that was in Emerald. Haven't witnessed a shiny Pokemon since.

Hilariously, on a day that we had to take off because of a bomb threat (SERIOUS) my sister found a shiny Golbat in her Pokemon Emerald game. It's the only gen 3 shiny we ever had.

I found shiny Oddish in Emerald (which was my very first shiny) and then I soft resetted for shiny Bulbasaur in LG but that was a total accident as I was trying to get a female starter. Oh well, not complaining about the shiny !

I actually got a shiny Tentacool once, but I somehow released it, because I was so silly in my younger days in which I did not know the rarity of these Pokémon. Either way, it was the only shiny I got, my device containing the game died after a period of time.

I did find a shiny Sableye, but Ruby/Sapphire was the first game I ever played, so I didn't know anything about shinies. I just assumed all Sableye looked like that. I never bothered to catch another one. I did find out later, though.

I've never encountered a shiny Pokémon in the 3rd generation, sadly. I knew they existed back when I first read about them haha, but the fact that they were so rare just ticked me >_>

Haven't found a shiny Pokémon in 3rd Gen for a while, unfortunately. The last time I got a shiny in this generation was about 3 years ago, it was a shiny Magikarp haha. It appeared when I was swimming towards the Seafoam Islands <3~

Only once. It was a Shiny Torchic after 40+ Soft Resets. Unfortunately, I found that Shiny Torchic on a fake Pokémon Sapphire cartridge, and in the very next hour, said fake cartridge decided to stop working. Losing that Shiny Torchic put me in a bad mood, considering that I have horrible luck when it comes to Soft Resetting.

I found one when I was replaying Emerald several months ago, it was a shiny Wurmple, and it's interesting because that time I didn't expect to encounter any shiny Pokémon, so it's a good thing that I have some spare Pokéballs to catch it. After battling with it, it eventually evolved into Dustox.

My very first shiny in the series was found in Ruby. It was a Whismur and I caught it cause I thought the poor thing was sick, haha. Green ears...idk. This is the only shiny I found by random encounter that I do not still own though. Kind of sad. :(

I also have a shiny Mightyena and Spinda in Emerald. I got them in trades from my cousin and brother respectively...for a Bagon holding a Master Ball. ;) lol
