Let's hear some stories about how unlucky you can be.

My friend encountered a shiny Graveller, first turn it used self destruct.

Has this or something like this happened to any of you?
 
My first (and only) shiny was a Bidoof! (Which is unlucky, why couldn't it have been something else?)
Talk about ugly.

I also even failed to catch it because of Cheryl's Chansey.

Aside from Red Gyrados in GSC, I caught two other shinies. They were both pidgies. Who wants duplicates, let alone pidgey duplicates?!
 
When I caught my shiny Rayquaza on the fourth SR, it had the wrong nature!
 
shiny geodude roselia had a critical hit with with tackle or something a knocked him out ugh* and it was really early in the game before the first gym
 
I ran into a shiny Absol but I didn't have any Pokeballs with me. :'(
 
I was chaining beldums and caught several shinies. One with a good nature and IV's, but I forgot to save before I shut the game off >.<
 
I was chaining for Dittos and only my 54th ditto the patch of grass sparkled. two steps away my current repel ran out and ... well ... figuring nothing would attack me in the one bit of grass between me and my quarry (i had been doing this for a couple of hours by this point) i just walked into it ................ from that day on i have had an irrational hatred of Floatzel
 
Found a shiny Golbat once, and killed it because I thought it was a glitch, like Missingno.
 
you guys find shinies like it's easy (which i know it's not, i'm not some noob).

i have no shiny horror stories, because i've never encountered one.
 
Shiny Pidgey in Gold.

lobbed all my balls at it... It escaped every single one (even the ultra balls).

I KOed it out of frustration.

I'll get you shiny Pidgey...

I don't get it.

I think it's because this thread's about bad experiences about shinies. And the person who wrote about their shiny Rayquaza having a bad nature is somewhat unrelated to this topic.

Actually, I think it's because Missingno. got his shiny in 4 SRs.

A few years back, I encountered a shiny Ratatta in LeafGreen on Route 1. I caught it, but then the game got corrupted. DX
