It's one of my favorite pokemon but still, what a piece of garbage.

When the enemy pokemon's eyes flash yellow, they're about to unleash an unblockable, 1 hit KO attack that also kills your character. You did well by running away.

Cameron Rivera
Never seen a wild shiny. But I did get a legit pokerus in pearl.
Easton Ortiz
Same. My floatzlel spread that shit like herpes.
Eli Collins
>mfw literally no a fucking shiny in the entire series
I literally played all the Pokemon games (except for Let's go,fuck that shit) and I literally never encountered one
Angel Reed
how the fuck did you not get a shiny in go
Thomas Diaz
Not even set ones like the wild Shiny Haxorus
Kevin Cooper
Let's start a riot
Cameron Garcia
Dunno man,I'm cursed
Kevin Allen
Youre probably annoying also and overly needy
Jose White
Don't feel bad, in Colosseum
PIDs are rerolled after purifying; it almost certainly wouldn't have been shiny after.
Chase Bennett
It's a rare event, if you catch a flashing Pokemon with glitched colours, then trade it to a friend and go talk to the Radio Tower lottery girl, you have a slightly better chance to win the grand prize
Kevin Gonzalez
>first shiny
>mr mime
>proceed to stick cart up my ass
>shit it out
Fuck game freak
Jackson Phillips
Now this is what I call a fail, I'm very sorry.
Easton Lopez
Lol this fucking happened to me, except I had a gameboy pocket and didn’t realise I had a gold magikarp in my PC until I got a gameboy colour
Ayden Reyes

First shiny was a torkoal out of an egg. I was pretty stoked, torkoal is awesome
