    Don't you hate it when...............

    Ok I was playing HG and I was in the safari area and I ran into a shiny raticate. I tossed a pokeball at it and it ran away. I got so mad. Now Im trying to chain a few in pearl just to get it back. This is only the 4th shiny that I have found at the normal chances. My catching rate is 2 out of 4.

    Im so happy I chained 4 shiny raticates before my chain broke. I got that raticate back

    Wow that does sound like a pain. I had an instance in Pokemon White where I had a wild random encounter with a shiny Jigglypuff. Unfortunetly, I wasn't paying attention as I was trying to rapidly level my new Haxorus and was just having it attack while watching tv. I only noticed it was shiny when I glanced back to my screen, to see if I'd leveled up, and noticed the coloring was off on Jigglypuff. I literally smacked my froehead, hard, and non-verbally scolded myself for making such a stupid mistake... Luckily 2 hours later I found a shiny Golduck in the same area and caught it. Overall my shiny catching percentage is 80% over 15 years (gen 2-5 shinies were actualy available.)

    I've missed out on a few shinies. Shinx, Seedot and Rogenrolla (which looked REALLY cool D: )
    One of which was a Chansey in the Leaf Green safari zone. It got away!
    I think I almost threw the GBA across the room.

    Later on in Emerald, I was extremely fortunate to get a SHINY Torchic for my starter and later on a shiny Duskull at Mt.Pyre.

    EDIT: The duskull MAY have been on Ruby, I can't remember for sures..

    that happened to me too! I found a shiny hoppip in the safari zone and It ran away when I threw a pokeball! I was in the car so therefore when I screamed N00000000000000000000ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oo... I got some very strange looks from around me my mums reaction was the worst . but I missed so many shinys the very first I found was a shiny pidgy I started my soulsilver like 2 weeks ago and had no idea what shiny pokemon were or even if they existed. so I looked at this shiny pidgy I thought my game must have a glitch or that it was going wrong so I killed it then about a month later I found out what shiny pokemon were and almost thrashed my head off my shoulders because I was so cross. but recently I chained a shiny starly so that kinda made up for it

    In SoulSilver I had a similar case. I was down to one ball in the safari, and then I encountered a shiny Murkrow. It was literally the first shiny I have ever encountered in my life. (Besides the red Garados) I nearly died when I saw it; I even took a picture of the screen for proof. With extreme luck I actually caught it first try, and it remains my only real shiny pokemon today.

    I've been lucky enough in a way that it hasn't happened to me. Otherwise I'd have a big scar on my head, as a consecuense of intense smacks against a table.
    I've just encountered three natural shinies so far. Its so hurtful. I've been trying using the Poké-Radar, or just leveling up and there's no chance of getting any shiny. And whenever they appear, they are all male...
