I have a ton of event shinys and the red gyrados from SS/HG, but the only other shiny pokemon I encountered was the evolution of geodude. (forgot his name). I captured him with ease.
My first shinywas a blue electrike on my emerald, my second shiny was a graveler but then it used selfdestruct ;___;
And just recently I caught a shiny Ho-oh in my soulsilver <3 I didn`t even soft reset to get it! :O
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
