The only shiny I have in a gen 2 game (which is Crystal) is a shiny Cleffa from the odd egg. It's now a Clefable I use for my Crystal team. (Gyarados not counting of course.)
I ran into a shiny Suicune on Crystal today after spending a number of sessions over the past month or so soft resetting for one in the Tin Tower. While I thought that I was sufficiently prepared to battle and capture it, I soon found out that I was wrong. With 24 Ultra Balls, 15 Poke Balls and 18 Great Balls in my bag (my Master Ball was used on Lugia earlier on), I used my Lanturn to paralyse it before sending out Ariados to weaken it with Night Shade. When its HP was low, I proceeded by throwing ball after ball at it with EVERY one of them failing. Suffice to say I was, and still am, gutted. However, I am far from giving up on catching a shiny Suicune.

So i decided to restart my Crystal version to hunt shinies and i was wondering, can gift Pokemon be shiny? For example Bill's Eevee, that guy in Cianwoods Shuckle or the Extremespeed Dratini? Also what about Game Corner prizes?
