This isn't about shine hunting; this is about those random cases when you just grabbed an egg and got a one-egg-wonder shiny.

Mine came in the form of a Feral Zergoose. I wanted one, for the sake of my novelty collection, so I got everything set up and waited. I about passed out on the floor when I realized, not only did I just hatch a shiny, I just hatched an incredibly rare shiny. Then came the screaming, of course ;P

but yet, after three years of hunting, I have yet to find a Shiny Magikarp

Found a shiny Zubat once. You can imagine the disappointment.

[Ross Hitchman]

Not managed to hatch a random Shiny but I've come across a couple while EV Training or generally messing around. Found a Shiny Fearow, Bidoof, Venipede and Basculin from this.

I also try and forget the completely useless Shiny Unown I got on FireRed years ago. I found it while I was exploring the ruins.

[Butterfliez]

When I joined GPX on my first week, I got 3 shinies within that week ; Weedle, Aeken and Scraggy

[Bnkbnk]

I got a shiny mawile which is cool cause it mega evos

[Butterfliez]

Tbh I wish this ShinyCaterpie would come!

[Shauntal]

On GPX, it wasn't really me hatching them, but I found 3 shinies in the shelter: Magcargo and Forretress I re-released, and Avalugg which I adopted as a Bergmite.

In the games, the 1st shiny I ever found in the wild was a random female Tranquil while I was out of state. I was just casually walking around outside of Twist Mountain, accidentally walked into the grass, and bam, shiny. Too bad it wasn't male. ;-;

Back in my days of being a n00b to GPX (ahh, back when the Lab was my primary source of Pokemon), I sometimes (infrequently) went to the Shelter to pick up some eggs. I was curious as to what one of the eggs was; now I know it was a Pansage egg. I just thought, "what the hey? it's new!" and picked it up. Lo and behold, it was shiny. First shiny on GPX.

Random shinies in the games? The one that comes to mind is from Platinum. I was out on the boat in the lake (Train ALL the Pokemon! Play ALL the time!) with my mom, step-dad and two of their friends, and I was training in Victory Road for the Elite Four. Yeah, that was stupid, but it led to a lucky encounter. I got bored and just went on autopilot while vaguely noticing the pattern... Graveler, Onix, Graveler, Graveler, Onix, Onix, Graveler, Steelix... Then I saw a Graveler that seemed... different. SHINY! Yes! After a long battle, I caught her and named her "Gaea." Now I just need to transfer it to Black and get someone to Pokebank it forward for me...

My first shiny on GPX was a Sudowoodo, which I got from randomly picking it up from the shelter.

My first shiny in the games was also a random one (except for the shiny Gyarados from Pokemon Pearl if I caught it, I can't remember). I was just running around in one of my friend safaris on Pokemon X and ended up finding a shiny Lapras.

[Shaylor]

All of my Shinies are pretty random, because I got them on the same day I started the hunt. They are: Probopas, Ploiwrath and Basculine.
And on GPX+ my shiny Acranine (my first one) hatched after 100 eggs.

[Hound]

Haven't had a random shiny outside of a hunt on GPX yet, although my very first hunt ended after hatching only 2 eggs, so that was really random.

In the games, my first random shiny was a Pidgey way back in Gold. My only other random shiny I've encountered was in Y, a shiny Gyarados (of all pokemon, the least rare, go figure) in the wild. Still pretty cool at least he can mega-evolve.

[Redtha]

I've gotten plenty. My first was a Sableye and my most recent was Woobat.

[Odette Bissette]

It was a Spinda on GPX. First hatched of the species

In the games, it took me until X to finally even SEE a shiny that wasn't event or Gyarados. That was a Geodude in a horde. And since it was a horde of Geodude, of course they used Magnitude and took it out. Few days later, checking out someone's Friend Safari and found a Shiny Kakuna. And yesterday, using that Shiny Beedril to hunt some ghosts to help my IV breeding, I stumbled upon a horde of Murkrow with a shiny in the middle. And those are in total the only Shiny I have ever seen, planned or random.

[dementedDelirium]

On GPX I got a shiny azurill.

Pretty delighted about it.

And one time while playing Emerald I got a shiny poochyenna and a shiny spinda. Not my favorites but SHINY

[Ben Bruce]

i was crawling through a cave on black 2 earlier and found a shiny woobat

it's so damn adorable, i transferred it over to as and played with it/evolved it and ahhhhhhh what a qt

[Bobby Singer]

I got a Shiny Icy Horsea from the shiny hunt voucher.
I also hatched a Shiny Klefi and Shiny Croagunk at random.

And I found a Shiny Gengar, Shiny Klink and Shiny Mareep in the safari zone

[LuciferMorningst...]

I've never hatched a shiny. I have the most horrible luck with shinies in general, I can't even soft reset one as a starter and I once did it for a week straight on Soul Silver.

Then my scare and few random encounters are never all that impressive, Mostly it's Zubat and Machop. I'd say the best random shiny I've caught is a Sneazel in Platinum outside Snowpoint City. Then there are those couple I accidentally fainted in Soul Silver, there was a Drowsee and a Hoppip. In the case of the Drowsee I was distracted and only realized when I drained it with a Umbreon no less that it was Shiny and I was too strong for the Hoppip.

I have got a shiny randomly three times when I have just hatched eggs for Poke hunts 8'DDDD Magikarp, Torchic and Bulbasaur.

And last week I randomly got shiny buneary, I just had grabbed some random eggs on mobile because I wanted to fill my party before I go to bed 8'DDDD

[Pyotr]

My first random shiny was Electrike in ORAS, and it was also my first 1/8192 shiny

[The Majestic Mr ...]

In X I was hatching Bagon eggs for a good IV one to use for Mega Salamence since it had just been announced. I wound up hatching a shiny one. I've also come across two shiny Ditto in a Friend Safari and a shiny Druddigon also in a Friend Safari. As for GPX+, I've only gotten a Spoink and a Goomy randomly shiny.
