Official Shiny Pokemon Thread

I've caught quite a few shiny Pokemon, as I occasionally hunt them. I remember my first shiny Pokemon really clearly as well, a shiny Rapidash on Mt. Silver in Soul Silver, which I named Silver - pretty fitting I thought because her flames look metallic. Not long after my sister caught a shiny Donphan in Heart Gold. After that we both got into looking for shiny Pokemon and I still do to this day.
I've bought my Rapidash over to Shield, it's coming with me into every new gen/game because it reminds me of childhood days playing Soul Silver with my sister.

As for other shines, I've caught Zubat (X), Oddish (AS), Metang (X), Ferroseed (X), Hakamo-o (Moon), Snivy (Hatch, AS) - and lots of others that I can't recall off the top of my head.

I've recently gotting my first shiny: a Hitmonchan from the Max Lairs. I don't really see it as a true Shiny though, as the Max Lair chances are insanely high. But still, it's nice to finnaly have my first shiny :p

First Legit Main Series Game Shiny was a Ponyta found leveling my team for E4. I've found a total of 3 shinies hunting, the other two were Caterpie and DA Maractus looking for Xurkitree.

the first shiny i ever encountered was a purrloin. back then, I didn't even know what a shiny was. also, i was playing on my brother's DS, so I decided to ask him why the purrloin looked so weird and well, he sure was excited.

actually, my first shiny was the red gyarados in G/S but i don't count that.

then, when sun and moon came out, i also played the game (i picked moon). on the third or maybe second island (don't remember its name) on the way up to the observatory, i run through grass, encounter, AND... a shiny Fearow appears right in front of me. caught it and gave it the most uncreative name ever: "Shiny". (i could really continue moon, haven't played it in ages. same for ultra moon)

and my most recent find was a shiny drifloon in PLA.

(now a bit of a tangent about zeraora: I absolutely hate the way shiny zeraora looks. and there is a very simple reason. the picture attached shows a different color scheme that just looks so much better than what the actual shiny looks like. normal zeraora already is bright, i don't need a color scheme that is even brighter. i especially dislike the blueish parts of its body.
the one below is more like the exact opposite. it is dark. and i like that.
btw, i found this zeraora coloration through this video, where the screenshot is also from:

Oof, shinies, huh. Bit of a thing...

I guess my first official non-hacked shiny (my friend keeps surprise trading and getting em lol) was a Shiny Ambipom in Legends Arceus. I even had a picture of it...

BUT I CANNOT TRANSFER TO PHONE-

The first shiny I ever caught myself was a Snorunt in Pokemon Moon. I was so happy and excited about him, buuut I lost my data before I could move him over to somewhere safe and he is now gone to the void. I have caught a few handfuls of shinies on Pokemon Go that I have transferred over to Shield now! I have a Goldeen, A Magikarp, and an event Celebi!
