    Only the Red Gyarados, but that doesn't really count since he's a guaranteed shiny.

  • ONE TIME I was doing this challenge in SoulSilver and found a shiny Ekans, but I couldn't use Ekans for that challenge, so I caught it and named her Pants and I traded her to HeartGold and used her on my team there and I still have her and yeah. /run on

  • Several:
    A Sentret, now a level 63 Furret named GOLDY.
    A Chansey, now a level 50 Blissey named Luk.
    A Mareep, who I didn't train yet...(Didn't want to lose that pink wool XD)
    And the red Gyarados whom I named RAGE and is currently at level 65.

  • Sadly enough, nope. ;_; I'd crossed my fingers that I would find one via random encounter when playing but in the end luck was not on my side. Would've been pretty awesome to get a shiny in the Johto region as my very first shiny was originally found in Crystal as well. Ah well.

    Never found a shiny on any Gen IV games, I feel left out :(

    The best way to make people feel better when they feel down about not getting a shiny in a certain a game is to tell them a story of me getting a wild shiny.
    Here's how it goes:
    THE END

    Oh crap, it didnt even start! That's right, almost 10 YEARS OF TRAINING, 100's of hours on all the generations (1-4) and the number of wild shinies I saw equals to ZERO. Lol

    Come on, this has to make you feel better xD


    For this reason, I give myself right to brag about my awesome chaining skills ^^ (Poochyena, Electrikes, and oh so many shiny Beldums), but that's Platinum, so it's offtopic :D

  • At the Skills Development Center's rec center ( a place I go to, because I have autism) in their copy of Heart Gold, I caught a shiny female Hothot, I named Tori from the TV show Victorious.

  • Playing SS, I found a shiny Tentacool shortly after beating Red for the first time. I have played since Red and Blue versions and this is the first shiny I have ever found in the wild. Wish it was a more exciting one, but it is still neat ^^. Not sure if I will leave it in SS or trade it up as I progress through the generations.

    No matter how hard I looked in HeartGold I could not find a shiny Pokemon for the life of me! I managed to find 3 in Pokemon Diamond upon randomness and breeding but no luck in HG besides red gyarados.

    I find it strange that I'm not the only one here to report Shiny Graveler sightings... o_o I've actually seen three! Two in Pearl, that blew up in my face, atomising my glory, and one in Platinum which I did manage to catch. I traded it over to my Soul Silver before I erased my file. Yay, shiny Golem!

    The first Shiny I ever encountered that wasn't a special freebie was a Shiny Unown... Seriously. One of the worst possible Shiny Pokémon ever!

    The only other one I've seen and caught since, in any Generation, was my Shiny blue Psyduck in Diamond. I love it! :)
