(you need an account to see links) Wow that's pretty good too, I think the shiny encounter rate increased in X and Y so finding them in earlier games is pretty impressive.
I found the growlithe in the friend safari too, I was originally looking for a ninetales but hey I ain't complaining! I tried hatching a shiny for a while but got bored of that pretty fast, think I hatched about 100-200 or so pokemon before I gave up... xD
How funny was that kid who found the shiny ponyta in leafgreen/firered after 25,000 encounters
