What are some of your Shiny Encounter stories?

[EnderpearlGurl13]

I just caught a shiny Luxio after three encounters in the Friend Safari and now I'm curious about everyone else's shiny stories. Did you ever lose a shiny because it used Roar or you knocked it out by mistake? What was your first shiny encounter? Was the encounter random, or were you hunting for it? Go ahead and tell your tales below! (My first shiny was a Poliwhirl that I randomly encountered while fishing for a Dragonair)

I've killed two shinies... but um they were a Shuppet and a Wingull and I was just tired of running into them. Think I have two shiny Shuppet fromand I had 3 shiny Wingull but traded one off. Horde shinies are just so easy to get imo. I've been shiny hunting since Black and White came out but my first shiny Pokemon was a Paras in HeartGold lol.

on HG/SS i didnt know what a shiny pokemon was, so i thought that the shiny gyarados was paranormal so i killed it. when someone told me it was shiny, i tried to go back, but i had already saved my game after killing it.

BUT, i did find a shiny clamperl in oras and now its a shiny huntail

Well,I'm currently a noob but the only shiny I caught myself is Kirlia.I wanted a HA Squritle so I decided to get a pokemon that has the trace ability.So I look up on and saw Kirlia could have the trace ability, so I went to a Grass Friend Safari.The first encounter (random ) there ,I got the Shiny Kirlia.It wasn't exactly want I wanted (It didn't had the trace ability) but it was still good.It's also male so I can choose between 2 shiny evolutions.

I was trying to breed for a certain nature, gender and IV's on an Absol, got tired after not getting it after hours upon hours of breeding, but I decided to cycle the remaining eggs open so they won't be just lying in my box forever.
The last egg.
The nature I wanted.
The gender I wanted.
The IV's I wanted.
A shiny.
I wasn't even breeding for a shiny one.
His name is Harry.

The earliest shiny iremember getting was a skorupi on Diamond. I was always lucky with shinies and i caught just over half a box on diamond alone when i never even looked for them, and i dont think ive ever failed at catching one. Now my most recent one was a wurmple in Ruby which i evolved into a dustox.

today i got a horde encounter and i thought "if there isnt a shiny in this one im gonna be pissed" and right smack dab in the middle of the horse was a shiny spidna.
