I have 3 boxes in Pearl full of shinies
I have the red Gyarados in Heartgold
Also a Shiny Cyndaquil in Soulsilver
Aswell as a shiny Rayquaza in Ruby
I also have a Event Pichu that I need to recieve on Diamond (I already have one on Pearl)

So all up I have about 94, most of these shinies were gotten through chaining
My Cyndaquil, Swampert and Rayquaza were normal 1/8192 shinies that I got through SRing My Voltorb however was a random encounter.

So I would say I have a fair few shinies.
 
Since my last post i have obtained shinies of the following pokemon:

Machop - trade from fiance
Cubone - x2 Chain, gave one to my fiance
Zigzagoon - x2 Chain, gave one to my fiance
Doduo - Chain
Clefairy - GTS for a Totodile
Spoink - Trade from Fiance he chained it along with 2 others.
Ariados - x2 Chain, I am proud of this one i have tried for nearly a year to chain this thing. Gave one to my fiance.
Eevee - x13 from a chain Traded 6 to my finace and evolved the other 7 so i have the full set of Eevee and it's evolutions (i already had the Umbreon)

So that's quite successful... shame the luck can't be passed onto my Soul silver where i am currently trying to find a shiny Lugia via SR. This will take a while.

I'm with Jew -->
I have four from various means:
linoone (evolved from the RS event zigzagoon that fixed the berry glitch)
magnezone (evolved from a random encounter magnemite in sapphire)
quagsire (traded for it with my friend's diamond)
nidoran(male) (I got this technically from pokeradar, but I had a chain of 3, so I count it as a random encounter)

The Bewitched
I have got a few let's see:
Glaceon
Umbreon
Luxray
Luxio
Shinx
Zigazaoon
Golbat
Crobat
Torchic

I used to have a wingull but it was scammed from me. There are more but I can't remember. Golbat is the only one I caught myself (Unless you include Gyarados from the Lake of Rage)

Egg Count: 326
My shiny story is not a happy one. I have seen only 5, and they have all appeared in 3rd Gen :(
I have played every version since Gold and Silver, for approximately 2100 hours. And the games have shown me 5.
I have caught 3 of these, but the only one in my possession is Caterpie. My Sapphire cart went missing, which contained my first 2.
I saw Mawile in Ruby (Sleep and red health. I slipped and pressed Flamethrower).
Geodude was before Caterpie in LGreen. I again slipped due to nerves, and pressed Run.
My longest chain is 28. I have SRd for Moltres, got to 500, and temporarily abandoned the hunt. This is why I dont Shiny hunt.
I am yet to see a Shiny in the 4th Gen. I dont count my Red Gyarados or Pikachu-Coloured Pichu.
I am keeping my Yellow Caterpie. Its awesome!
 

Hejiru

Rev up those fryers
Aside from things like the Red Gyarados and Pikachu Colored Pichu, I only have one: Caterpie. Got it recently. I wasn't even shiny hunting or anything, it was just a random encounter. :D

I only got 2 shinies, 1 gyarados and 1 roserade. The gyarados I got from random fishing and fished up a gold magikarp. The roserade was also random. I was trying to find a pokemon just to let it learn cut and I came across the shiny budew as the first pokemon that popped up. :X

I only have pcp, lol. I used to have a shiny sudowoodo that i traded for an ekans and a sun stone. I guess I just don't care that much for shinies, I am more concerned with natures and abilities.
