I got a Shiny Pheromosa! ...in under an hour!!

Later that day, I found a shiny Floatzel while searching for Legendaries.

As you can tell by the trash "photography", It's real and I'm too excited. Yes, I'm so proud of getting this shiny I need to show it.

What are your luckiest shiny hunts or shinies?

    I was getting some Squirtle eggs hatched to trade off in Shield, and the first one that hatched was a shiny one. Was in complete shock to be honest, as I wasn't even hunting at the time.

    When the GTS was a still a thing on the 2DS when I put up a pokemon for trade I could nearly guarantee that the pokemon I would get was a lv. 100 shiny with held items such as gold bottle caps and master balls. As for caught shinies, in sun, moon, and ultras would only get them ultra wormholes except for 2 because there is a high chance to get them when you have gotten all the Legendary's from that environment. The only other game I've gotten them in is Arceus in outbreaks.

    I was hunting Spheal for MONTHS and finally got one. After that, I always passed by Spheal Outbreaks/MMOs since I love Spheal and why not if I'm just flying by anyways? So I went to an MMO in the Obsidian Fieldlands and stumbled by a Spheal MMO, so I went there and to my surprise, another shiny Spheal popped up! So I save my data and caught her, and after scaring away another Spheal, in THE SAME SPOT where I saw the first one, A SECOND SPHEAL SPAWNED IN. AND IT WAS A MICRO SPHEAL TOO.
