The best shinies you've caught

[Lynox]

In any pokémon game, what shiny pokémon did you get and what are your best shiny moments?

My first ever shiny was a zubat in the Shoal Cave in Emerald. I still remember the exact spot where I got it. Sadly I somehow lost it over the years.

Never managed to catch a shiny again until pokemon X came around. There I got a shiny sandile, shiny zoroark from the pokeradar and a shiny marill (and thus awesome golden Azumarill) when I was breeding for a competitive one. It had awesome IV's too!

Mine is a shiniy klink, because it was my first ever shiny, and I wasn't even looking for it. I found it on BW, and I'm not ashamed to say I freaked out when i saw it

My first shiny besides the red Garydos was a Paras in the original silver. I found it while headbutting random trees in Ilex Forest. Still have it on my silver version. In Y I caught a Larvesta, Ditto, Vivillion, Woobat, and a few others I can't remember. My favorite one so far is the ditto due to it's colors. I'm on the hunt for a shiny Ponyta though, the blue flame just looks awesome.

My first shiny was a Starly in Diamond at a random encounter, then a few days later I got a shiny Mightyena in Emerald also a random ancounter. After that I didn't find more shinies before gen 6. But on X I have around 15 shinies. All from chaining, hordes or friend safari.

My first shiny was a green ursaring in gold. It was right outside of Mt.Silver cave. I was freaking out. I was like "what's with all the stars?!"
After that it was a blue flamed ponyta in diamond, a golden magikarp in ruby (fishing for feebas), and a bluish pidove in white. Then they just stopped showing up.

Shiny Honedge was my best, then i even turned it into a battling machine >

Encountered a shiny Abra in my Diamond back in 2007, caught it with a master ball (for obvious reasons) and still have it to this day :D
