Omg you guys

I found 3 shiny pokemon in one night. I love my game.

1- Shiny Gloom
2- Shiny Articuno OMG FFFFF-
3- Shiny hoppip ​

 

[highlight]I have never encountered a shiny, in all my years of playing.

Were you chaining?[/highlight]​

 

I haven't either. Is it just luck that you encounter one?

 

Actually, I just went to catch the Articuno because I wanted it. It's my favorite bird pokemon c:

Then I went to train my charmander, and I was training for about an hour and found a shiny hoppip.

Then I went to train my charmander on a different route, and I was training for much longer this time and found a shiny gloom c:​

There's like a 1/8000 somethin' chance of finding one. Except red gyrados. That's a freebie c:​

 

I haven't bothered with the Red Gyarados yet, haven't had to fight him. I'm still trying to beat Red. I really want a Squirtle.

 

I got charmander c:
I only beat Red because of a few lucky critical hits. :c​

 

My average pokemon level is a lot lower than Red's, I need to train. I beat Pikachu in one hit, then his Blastoise murdered me.

 

He killed my level 100 dragonite with his blastoise.​
