After about an hour chaining magikarp, I just caught a shiny red gyarados! First shiny ever! I've been trying every new method that comes out in each game since Crystal with no luck, but this time it actually worked!
Feel free to share shiny stories below

I about lost my shit when I caught my first shiny in Pokémon Diamond years ago. Sure, it was a Bidoof (or Bibarel, can't remember which), but was still my first. A few years later, sometime after switching to Platinum, I was chaining Pichu in the Trophy Garden. Only took a few before a shiny showed up. Again, flipped my shit. Still have him as a shiny Raichu today in pokémon Y :3
