    Maybe My both the luckiest and the unluckiest day of my life
    When I go "Grinding" in Victory Road I accidentally found A Shiny Hariyama which has Whirlwind me
    And right after that. I saw a Shiny Golbat. Weird Huh? No?
    I am not a Shiny Hunter but maybe I starting to look for a shiny(Even not as hard as hunter used to be)

    If you think the world should be a better place for everyone put this in you sig. (started by Mewmie the shiny Mew)

    My little story ended well but it couldve been so so bad.

    Years ago I nearly had an epic shiny failure, was playing my first run through of Sapphire.. at the time I didn't really like the look of the Hoenn pokemon so I didn't pay them much attention. Once I got the Goggles I proceeded to go into the area with the permanent sandstorm.

    My first encounter was with a Trapinch, I had 4 strong pokemon and was running through the game at a quick pace so wasn't really worried about the pokedex. Anyway as the battle started I turned away to get a drink or something so missed the stars flickering to show it was a shiny, I had never seen a Trapinch before this moment and I didn't really like the look of it so I go to run away from the battle but it had Arena Trap so I couldn't run. So I end up damaging it with the intent of KO'ing it to get some exp since I couldnt run...

    My first attack was a critical hit which nearly took it out in 1 hit, thought since its so low may aswell capture it because it should be an easy capture so I through a ball and now I have a Trapinch... a little while later I'm running through the Pokedex randomly and notice that in the pokedex its a different color...... so go to the pc to check it out and what do you know.. I see on the summary screen that its a shiny... had such a good laugh after that, I had no idea lol!

    I imagined what my reaction might have been if it didn't have the Arena Tag ability and I managed to run away from the battle only to find out it was actually a shiny...

    (I've only ever encountered 3 shiny pokemon all which I have caught luckily, so while this wasn't a failed attempt, it was pretty close to being an epic fail)

    ^ It really was meant to be for you to catch that Trapinch! And shiny Flygon is simply amazing

    It didn't happen to me, but a friend of mine was diving near Sootopolis City, shiny hunting for a Clamperl but he run into a shiny Chinchou instead. He kept on looking for that shiny Clamperl, but several months later another shiny Chinchou appeared and he turned off the game!

    Once, someone traded me a shiny Tympole. I restarted the game and forgot to trade it to Black.

    When I found a shiny Zubat in one of the caves (forgot which, it's been so long), instead of trying to catch it I was forced to run away since I had no Poke Balls.

    I was training my Sharpedo in Victory Road. A shiny Golbat appears. Sharpedo uses Crunch. Golbat has more than half health left. Sharpedo uses Crunch again. Critical hit. Failure.

    I boxed that Sharpedo and never used it again.
    Anger the Blaziken, and you get BURNED

    Example of the above:
    YOU: Hey Blaziken, your ugly!
    BLAZIKEN: .......JO FACE!(burnnned)

    I remember first hearing about Shinies when my friend told us he found a gold Caterpie. We were all in fifth grade so we thought he was making it up. The next day on the bus he showed us his shiny Butterfree. I was amazed.

    Two years down the road, I was on the bus to middle school, playing FireRed. Walkin through Victory Road when...

    Shiny Arbok appears.

    I caught it in a heartbeat. I was overjoyed. I still had time left before we got to school, so one more battle couldn't hurt. I went against the stupid b*tch with the Chansey and the Minimize and Softboiled spamming. I went through all first period with the game on, trying to beat that chick so I could save. I realized it was hopeless and just shut it off

    Now every time I play FR and I meet that Ace Trainer, I'll never forgive her for deleting what would've been my shiny Arbok. grrrrrr

    Oh well... I encountered a shiny Numel on my Pokémon Sapphire, then I started wondering: "Huh, since when do Numel have different colours?" (Like Spinda have different spots) so, I ran from it so I could look for other ones but the "other ones" all had the same colour. Then I figured out it was a shiny Numel I ran from! xD That wasn't so nice haha.

    In the beginning of Sapphire when you had to choose your starter and beat the Poochyena, guess what? The Poochyena was shiny..... -.-

    On my glitched Sapphire, on route 110, the Cycling Road, the first pokemon I always encounter is a shiny Electrike, though the Sapphire can't save so its always in vain
    On my first Nuzlocke, Emerald, guess what Wally did! He fainted a Shiny Ralts! Yet he still caught it.

    Argh, can't you just let me sleep...

    that makes no sense....kyogre is lv. 45 in sapphire when you find him, so sheer cold shouldn't have worked on your pokemon since your pokemon was a higher level. I'm gonna call lying on this one.

    As for failure, I have watched quite a few horror fails on youtube, like a shiny groudon fail, a shiny poochena fail, and a shiny nidorino fail, but I've never had my own fail. My only 2 random shiny encounters were a shiny ponyta and a shiny kricketot, both on my diamond version. I did soft reset for weeks and finally got a shiny abra at the game corner, and my friend killed a shiny hariyama......because he thought his game was bugging out since it was a different color....I wanted to strangle him!

    All shinies in my banner are for trade.
    My diamond friend code is 1292 4614 8475. I'm hunting for a shiny clefairy. Non-shiny clefairies so far: 10,355.
