Caught a shiny Petil today, was just going through the forest, and bam there it was :3
It had a modest nature with HP Fire as well XD
Its IV's are kind of average though

Pokemon Emerald: I encountered two Pokemon before getting Pokeballs, they were BOTH SHINY! If that wasn't already a kick in the ****, Wally's Ralts was shiny, too! I'm so unlucky!

Pokemon White: I encounter a Shiny Metang, only to run out of Pokeballs before I can catch it! And in a battle with a friend, he won because his Zap Cannon hit... all... 5... times. I'm still trying to figure out how one person has this much bad luck without getting hit by a cement truck.

Shiny Female Golbat

I was raising a hoothoot in Heartgold in victory road thinking about how Ive never really meet a shiny Pokemon in the wild except a shiny noctowl in game boy color gold when I didn't know about shinys, when I hear a different sound than usual coming from my ds. I couldn't believe that I was looking at a green colored golbat, lv 35! Some might have thought it was just a golbat, but to me it was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me in my years of playing pokemon. I used my lapras, lv 25 and ursaring, lv30, to catch it. I called her Lady Luck. Dont know if I want to evolve her or not.

The following happened in Soul Silver:

*Gets Ho-Oh down to 1 HP*
*Puts Ho-Oh to sleep*
*Throw OVER 9000 Ultra Balls*
*Finally say, "Screw it, I'm using a Pokeball*
*"Congragulations! You have caught a Ho-Oh!*

I remember this one time, I was fighting the champion in Pokemon Ruby. Steven was down to his Metagross, and I only had my Blaziken left. I thought I got it in the bag, till he critical hit me into red. I was like, NOOOOOOOOOO.

Then Blaze activated, so I used Blaze Kick. Then, by some god-like stroke of luck, I also got a critical hit. 1 hit ko'ed. :D I nearly cried.

The first time I got a Pokemon with Sheer Cold was a Walrein, and so I went and tried it out. I ran out all 5 PP over a couple of battles and hit every single time. It's funny, cause now I have the kind of luck where I could max out the PP and have 8 shots and not hit a single one.

Leaving a Paras in the Day care center on Leaf Green and realising that it's level 32, and then leveling it up to level 33 and it evolves into a Parasect!

Forgetting pays off sometimes :).

Well there was the time back in crystal version where I was fighting lance and typlhosion was my last pokemon and it ran out of PP for everything except cut(I was a noob back then :3) and he was using his dragonite and then I just hit him with cut and he got K'0d :D
Back in emerald I found a shiny Swampart... in the battle factory. I rented it cuz it was shiny xD
Then when I started playing soul silver I found a shiny rattata straight off at the bellsprout tower. First shiny I ever captured... :D
Then of course, after I have moved ALL my old pokemon onto SS and I had the shinies and stuff, the game deleted it's own save file and I lost them all -.- Oh the irony...
Then in White, it's always hilarious to throw a quick ball at Zekrom and insta-catch.. :)
Also in white when I was capturing Terrakion, I spammed dusk balls and never cought him. Ran out, loaded again, captured by a quick ball :3 Same thing happened with virizion xD
I just remembered something that REALLY annoyed me back in emerald.
I was in the battle factory versing Noland for the 3rd time or something, and we both had one pokemon left and they were both an aerodactyl. My aerodactyl was on over half hp, his was on yellow/orange, and I was faster than him, and I used rock slide. It missed, this he used rock slide and got a critical hit and I lost. That annoyed me so much and I gave up on the battle frontier... Still never beat Noland...
Pokemon games truly are the unexpected!
