I would catch it but not trade it away. I'll need it for my shiny collection. If I didn't have any Poke Balls then I would etheir run or knock it out.

Catch it. Debate training it later.

I'm not even joking either. That's why there's a Shiny Bidoof in my PC.

I would probably catch it and just let it sit in my PC box. Since there is no option for that, I can't vote in this poll.

None. 8D

I'd catch him, keep him, and raise him with lots of love~ <3
Because shiny Bibarels are actually pretty damn awesome.

Of course, out of the options, the last would be the closest to mine. I guess I could calculate its IVs and see if he'd be a really good fighter.

Say Whaaaaat?
I would keep it parade it around and get pelted by stones

Well, how about I shake this Poll up with a little story.

Well, I was out EV training, and I came across a shiny bidoof. I thought for a moment on what to do. That is when I remembered about the game's Secret ID, so I had to catch it as even a random wild Shiny Bidoof has the information needed for deducing your secret ID or come increbibly close to it without using a hacking device. So I caught it, got its exact IVs and deduced my Secret ID, which is where the math part comes in. With it, I can now very easily abuse the RNG and breed shinies which aren't hacked.

Well, any random Shiny you encounter has the information needed for you to deduce your Secret ID, even a shiny Bidoof. So any random shiny should be kept for this purpose if you wish to know your Secret ID without using a hacking device.

Shiny get!
E: Catch it and train it cause its shiny

My least favorite pokemon is Medicham. Guess what? I caught a shiny Meditite. Guess what I did with it? Trained it into a shiny Medicham. The moral of the story is: shiny-ness overcomes all preference barriers.

Ladies and Gentleman before you do the I hate Bidoof cause its everywhere and its weak , aren't we forgetting one little detail. What does a Bidoof evolve into? Yes a Bibarel, and if i recall some people use a Bibarel competively and won with it. So yes i would capture it, raise it maybe with EV or IV or whatever, and turn it into a solid hard core offensive Bibarel. Would it be the HM slave? No, this one would have the shiny respect ^_^

And plus a shiny? doesnt happen everyday folks ^^
 
I hate shinies, so I'd make it faint... and I'm the only one that would so far, apparently.

You need another option. I would capture it and maybe train it a bit, but I wouldn't check it's IVs because I don't do that.
