    Pokemon legends arceus. It was on my cousins acount. It was either a cascoon or a silicoon because I was just trying to catch the other version and I thought it was that one so i caught it and only after a year did I even knuw about shinys so I didnt even think about it.

    Legends Arceus

    I have a Shiny Froslass

    I can't remember if I found it as a Snorunt or not, but it was complete chance

    I don't even care for Froslass but I was jumping up and down with joy

    Caught a Shiny Vespiquen while I was grinding XP on wild Chansey by Ortega’s base in Scarlet. Pure chance since I don’t have shiny charm or any shiny meal powers. I later caught a shiny Alolan Vulpix and again by pure luck and I didn’t even notice it was shiny until after the fact. The difference in color is very slight and the only way you know it is shiny is by their eyes. I’ve traded away other Shiny Pokémon and I don’t care if I did.

    It probably was a total surprise, it was in Pokemon Y.

    Legends Arceus, me and my friends were trying to look for some water-type in the Pokédex when one says, "Hey what was that?" turns the basculegion around and BAM purple Remoraid. We absolutely flipped
