...BRING IT!!!
My first shiny was a Nidoran(M) in FR. I was "conveniently" watching pokemon and when I looked back on the screen I was like: uhhh too much TV. But on the safe side I caught it and checked it. Sure enough it was a shiny(I never even knew shiny pokemon existed in the first place)
 

Pyrax

The Ghost of Tsushima
Edit: Added nickname. Oh! You get Golem by trading Gravler to someone else!

Just like several other pokémon..

Anyway, I was chaining yesterday and after a chain of 39 I caught a shiny girafarig.:D

just a quick question with the old rod can only catch a magikarp if you keep using it will it be like chaining?

No, chaining refers only to the 'grass' method.

I think i got a shiny togepi in platnum... but how can you tell? plz help!
If you look at its status page, it should have a red star next to its picture and its pokemon number will be written in red/pink on the status page. Also, there will be a "shiny" animation when you send in out in battle.

I started to watch tv while i was searching and i just heard the shiny noise and it was a shiny tangela. i caught it with the first ball i threw but the only bad thing is that it is impish but im still using it anyway. now it is a tangrowth

While going through the Eterna forest with Cheryl, I encountered a shiny Cascoon.
I was terrified her Chansey would make it faint, so I knocked it out. ;D I had like 5 Poke Balls and a Great Ball left, and all but one failed.
I didn't think I was going to catch it, but the last one finally worked.
Could've been a better Pokemon, though. :p

Since 7th February I've been SRing for a Shiny Giratina and after two complete months, 7th Aprill, I've finally caught it. I have no ideia how many resets I did.

I can't be any happier, I caught it with ONLY ONE QUICK BALL, and the sync worked so I have a 100% legit Bold Shiny Giratina :D

Here's the video:

Sorry about the quick ball scream, I was very happy

I finally caught my first shiny ever after playing pokemon for nearly nine years! I was going through the Ravaged Path when I encountered a blue Psyduck (out of all pokemon it had to be a Psyduck...). Well, I'm still pretty happy though because it is my first shiny ever so no complaints there!
