Well lads, I did it. After nearly 20 years and 7 generations, including remakes and side games, I've finally done it. I've encounter and caught my very own shiny legitly.
It's never too late to believe.
Always keep the hope alive.

Like you, I came to shiny Gyarados, anon...
But that Shiny Magikarp came to me.

Nice! I have a bunch of shinies but it's all been manipulating RNG, i've never found one by just walking in the grass while playing through the game. Hopefully one day
Congrats, first shiny I ever got was a woobat in some cave, never been happier
Did they up the shiny rate? I've never seen a legit shiny that wasn't an eventmon/gyarados, but I caught a shiny fletchling and smeargle in this one.

>if you evolve it, everyone will just think it's the red gyrados from HG/SS

Congrats on getting a shiny of THE BEST pokemon.

There's a person in a building that says the rate is 1 in 4000. I want to say it was the building with gamefreak staff or at least in the same town
My very first shinies were in Silver and it was Stantler but RNG must have been my bro that night because I also caught a shiny Kingler, shiny tentacool and shiny Ghastly. Soul silver my first and only was Swinub (my first encounter in ice path) and Omega Ruby four Ralts- male, female, female, male. Nothing in Moon as of yet.

The first shiny I caught, excluding Gyarados, was a Ratatta in B/W.
Also, yesterday I caught a shiny Bagon.
The only shiny that i ever ecountered was in emerald. Before getting the pokeballs

I got one too last week randomly after Lana's trail while fishing around in the area.
