I should pick up Ultra Sun/Moon one day since it's pretty easy to find shinies in it

I found a shiny Pidgey in Silver when I was little. I think it's the only one I ever found and I believe I caught it.

The only one i currently have Shiny Alolan Diglett now a Dugtrio
Had a shiny polliwag in my original copy of Silver that is long gone due to my purge during gen 4. And I had a shiny Scraggy in my original copy of white that got lost into the aether.

Playing Pokemon Silver as a kid, I stumbled upon a Shiny Tangela outside of Mt. Silver. It's the only shiny I have ever caught.

I have a bunch of them in Pokémon Go, but that’s the only Pokémon game I’ve played.

I recently found my first shiny (other than guaranteed shinies like the Lake of Rage Gyarados) after 20 years of playing Pokemon

It was the gift Squirtle in Vermilion City in Let's Go Eevee

I've been playing pokemon since the beginning and have found only one non-event shiny: A male Salandit. :(

I caught some shiny pokemon back in the day. Ever generation I came across at least 1 to 4 shiny pokemon

But the one that I remembered the most was a shiny wobbufet in pink in the safari zone in pokemon ruby wich i did not caught

I was so dissapointed when I didnt catch it since safari zone especially back in the day is very luck based. For fun I tried to get to that exact same spot and to rub a bit more salt into my wound when entering the safari zone for the 2nd time at that spot I came across the same lvl gender shiny wobbufet wich I yet again did not catch

TY very much game  ::)

but **** legit play with 1 in 20.000 chances to get a shiny fortunately there was software on pc in wich you can insert any shiny pokemon on your original game. You could even hack the correct location where it came from or say that you caught an arceus in the safari zone or some shit.

Shiny mewtwo, latios and darkray where my favourites to use in pokemon coloseum and battle revolution against friends back in the day.

I probably would have accidentally killed shiny Plusle since it looks almost indistinguishable from the normal version xD

I've only played gen 6 and 7 so I haven't caught too many.
One day in Pokemon X I was doing the fishing chain method to get a shiny Corsola, had no results after a few hours, so I closed my 3DS and went to bed. The next morning on my first fishing attempt I found the shiny Corsola. It felt like a comedy bit.
The other one was a shiny Graveler that I randomly found while leveling some Pokemon for the Pokedex.

I'll throw my hat in this ring, since Pokemon is most of my childhood and still a large part of my newfound adulthood...

Technically first encountered the shiny red Gyarados in Silver and Crystal. That one is scripted. It doesn't count.
Actually first caught a shiny geodude in LeafGreen's victory road. It's been lost to the aether though, must've deleted my save file with it when I was a kid, I didn't have a way to trade it between gen 3 games.
I don't think I encountered any shinies in gen 4.
The next I remember for sure was shiny Basculin in White 2. I was EV training at the time. And now I absolutely hate Basculin because (A) it's a terrible Pokemon, (B) super generic design, even with the two forms, and (C) its shiny is virtually no different than normal. To encounter something so rare but so underwhelming still upsets me.
I think there was one in generation 6 but I can't recall specifically.
In moon I found a shiny Hakomo-o. I was SOS chaining to find one holding a razor claw (because that was the only way to get one, and get Weavile by association) when it spawned, I remember saying "forget the item, I'm catching the shiny!" Turns out it was also holding a razor claw. So, hands-down that was the best shiny encounter.
In Ultra Sun I found a shiny Staryu and shiny Pineco. No neat story with those though, although I think I was SOS chaining for competitively viable pokemon with both cases.
And a friend has given me a few shinies. However this friend also hacks / generates Pokemon for competitive play. Personally I'm fine with hacking like that, but I can't say in good faith those shinies are legit.

Yeah, while playing Gold I found a few, aside from Red Gyarados, the first one being a Rattata. I also did the trick where you traded a shiny to Red/Blue/Yellow to get a shiny Ditto (http://pkmn.net/?action=content&page=viewpage&id=113).

On Crystal the Odd Egg was a shiny Smoochum. I stumbled across at least two more during my play-through, but can’t remember which since the battery has since died.

On Emerald, which I played through only once, I found at least three, if I recall correctly. I think one was a Wingull.

On Diamond I hatched a good amount of them, and found a bunch on the wild while training teams. I actually had to faint or run from a few since my boxes were all full from all the Pokémon I bred for the teams I used to train for competitive battling.

I own the newer games, but I haven’t played them yet.
