I've never caught a shiny other than the Red Gygarados, but that's easy to find in comparison to all the other ones. Really, I've never encountered an actual Shiny Pokémon running around in the grass, but I honestly couldn't care less about it.

First thing I caught was a DISGUSTING ugly spider thing from Hoenn. Found in the Dreamyard's basement. I couldn't give up the opportunity, though, so I caught it. I didn't really want to, though...so I got rid of it.
Made up for it in Black 2. I was just strolling along a route, and then because I was too lazy to use a repel, I get jumped. By a SHINY Shelmet! WITH A SPEED BOOSTING NATURE. Sweep-master Accelgor here I come. And now I'm SRing for a Black Rayquaza. At the time of this post, I have Soft Resetted 286 times. And I want to quit so badly... And just to think, I'll be doing the exact same thing with Giratina. |

I've found shiny pokemon in every copy of a pokemon game I've owned
Ruby: Clampearl Diamond: Sneasal Platinum: Gastly Heart Gold: Caterpe Black: Klink The Clamearl I traded away. I evolved the Sneasal and I now use it for Wi-Fi battles. I evolved the Gastly and also use it for Wi-Fi battles. I traded the Caterpe for another shiny. I couldn't keep the Klink because I was using a new game file while I already had a current game file. I have the shiny Pichu and legendary beasts event pokemon. I have the Shiny Red Gyrados I've received a shiny Machamp, Rydon and Dragonite through trades. |

Diamond - Golbat (found it in front of my friend too. Now it's a Crobat in my Soul Silver)
Soul Silver - Ponyta (my friend found two within 5 minutes and gave me one) Sapphire - Remember that cutscene of Wally catching a Ralts with a Zigzagoon? Norman loaned Wally a shiny Zigzagoon (didn't know that was possible). |

Oh, and event shinies. I pretty much have every one that counts. 3 Beasts (9 considering how many games I have them in) and the Pikachu-colored Pichu. I obtained a Shiny Breloom, Shiny Seismitoad, and Shiny something-else through trading...I just forget what it was...

My shinies not counting the red Gyarados are:
Crystal: Geodude Sapphire: Minun Emerald: Zubat Pearl: Ralts Platinum: Tentecruel, Bibarel, Roselia (x2), Shinx, and Eevee Black: None yet ^_^' Note: The 2 Roselia, Shinx, and Eevee were all obtained using the Pokeradar |

I've only ever encountered one legit shiny, and that was Darkrai. I activated my Action Replay to walk across the water from Fullmoon to Newmoon in Pearl, so I could battle Darkrai. I got there, and he was shiny. Problem is, I couldn't catch him
Other than that, I haven't encountered or caught a shiny. I hope one day that changes, though. |

I recently encountered my first shiny while playing White. I was grinding before a gym and BAM! Shiny Lillipup. I plan on trading it over to my Black when I'm done with White. I also had a shiny Eevee which in now an Umbreon which I use for Wi-Fi battles. Also, someone on here gave me a shiny Snorunt and Ambipom sometime ago.

Firered: Safari Zone found a Paras
Diamond: Had my friend Yoshizard from VR chain a shiny Shinx and then traded him for a Squirtle. It's now a shiny Luxray in Platinum. Heartgold: I found a shiny Psyduck on my sister's game, I caught it and she said I could trade it over to my game. And I have a whole bunch more that are on Pokémon Ranch, but I'll check those and tell you later. |

Well, easiest method used to be in Gen IV, with the Pokeradar chains exceeding 40 commonly producing shinies (1 in 200 isn't too bad). But now in Gen V, the best way is Masuda's Method, which produces 1 in 1366 results. In B2/W2, they released the Shining Charm, which increased Masuda method to 1 in 1024, or 33% more than normal. Case in point is that Pokeradar chaining is your best hope for anything besides Gen V Pokemon. And besides, finding a Shiny Shroomish isn't half bad. Some haven't seen one at all in all their time. Heck, I've been playing Pokemon for 10 years and I've only found 1.

They have a shiny check on Reshiram, Zekrom and Victini coded into the game. If you get a combination that makes it shiny, the game will modify it until the legendary in question is NOT shiny.
To contribute to the thread, I'm planning on SRing for a shiny Landorus whenever I can get a Thundurus. |

The only shiny I legitimately captured, beyond Gyarados at the Lake of Rage, was this Geodude:
Spoiler Alert:
I have several additional legit shinies that I didn't capture myself, including a Mudkip, a Marshtomp (yes, two shiny Mudkip), a Purrloin, and some events. |

If I remember correctly, the odds of seeing one are estimated to be 1 in 8192. But like all statistics, that doesn't necessarily mean you will find a shiny after 8192 Pokémon. You might find one before that number, maybe even two, or it might take double that amount just to find one.

Legit shiny Pokémon.. I remember in my Pokémon Gold / Silver / Crystal (one of them) I managed to hatch a shiny Magby from the egg I got from the old couple.
Other than that, I got a shiny Hoot Hoot in that same cartridge. In Pokémon Emerald, I managed to capture a shiny Remoraid as well. In that same cartridge, I got a shiny Starly. And finally, in Pokémon Black, a shiny Audino. |

Sapphire: Fishing for Wailmer I came across a shiny Magikarp. Hooray. This was before even D/P/Pt, so I obviously evolved it and it's now worthless aside from the fact that it came from Hoenn.
FireRed: Whilst chasing down Team Rocket on Five Island I encountered and caught a shiny Pidgeotto, which I traded to a friend on a school trip once (Probably for something worthless like a Mewtwo). I've also got a shiny Axew and Absol, both of which I got while trying to figure out RNG abuse in Pokémon B/W, so I don't count those. |

In Ruby I encountered a shiny Voltorb, which I could not catch because I ran out of Poke Balls (Though, it wasn't really a lost to me, due to me not knowing what a shiny was back then).
In my LeafGreen, my brother managed to catch a shiny Slowpoke, and we decided to "share " it. My first actual shiny, though was my Totodile (Who is now a Feraligatr). It took 576 soft resets, but I finally owned a shiny Pokemon. The last shiny I caught was in SoulSilver (Which was the same game I found my shiny Totodile), where I found a shiny Graveler when I was grinding up to beat the Elite Four. |
