^ Oh....anyway I could never seem to catch that darn Gyarados!..

.anyway No I haven't..I've only encountered a shiny Pokemon once in Gold which was a Hoho/HootHoot but it still early in the game (around Mr.Pokemon's house in Gold)..and I didn't have any Pokeballs to catch it with..because you didn't catch Pokemon in that part of the game so I pressed run because I didn't want to make it fair..aside from that experience..I haven't found a shiny Pokemon since..

@MCHopnPop

I now usually get its HP low, try to put it asleep, then fling as many poke/great/ultra balls as humanly possibly to get him. works nearly every time.

sorta. In pokemon battle royal I got a shiny spearow and a shiny charmander.

in pokemon heartgold, Red Gyrados AND a shiny poliwag
i was fishing in Viridian city (or whatever the v one is in Kanto)
and i found a shiny poliwag, i was like :O
and then caught it with a quick ball :D
now its a shiny poliwhirl (dont know whether to evolve it into politoed or poliwrath)

The only one I caught was the red Gyarados in Gold.

same... only the red gyarados

The only shiny pokemon I got in the game is red graydos in gold sliver and thier remakes but that is part of the story. But In pokemon diamond I found a shiny glavler on iron island and when i swicth my pokemon then he expoled on me.

a red gyarados. btw what's with the stars coming out of it?
