What was the shiny that got away?

[Shanco]

Shiny Pikachu in Emerald, although this was the Safari Zone so I knew my chances would be slim.

[Chrono-Explo]

Shiny Porygon in Fire Red. Battery died.

Shiny Charmander in Leaf Green. Battery died.

Shiny Scyther in Crystal. Battery died.

Shiny Wailmer in Sapphire. Battery died.

Shiny Fletchinder in X. Crit killed it.

[SilverJakler]

In Fire Red I ran into a Shiny Geodude... but I didn't have any Pokeballs q_q

[toopher1]

Shiny, freaking Weedle.

[Helios2]

Several shinys in Reborn under them a shiny Sableeye. A Shiny tentacool (wich seems to be pretty common) from Fire Red my sister started a new game and overrided the save file. Otherwise I only found a shiny starlie on my Pearl run, wich i deletet myself, because I was simply bored and wanted to play through pearl again. XD

[ShatteredSkys]

Shiny tentacool, my machop just hadd to crit.....

[MachoGoose]

Chansey in the Safari Zone....much swearing was done afterwards....

Also, I was about to step onto a patch of shiny grass while chaining Miltanks in Y....my finger slipped and I accidently walked into a bad patch of grass that killed the chain. I got a Shiny Slowpoke not too long afterwards so it somewhat healed the wound.

[Hypa]

weedle and bellsprout in silver coz i was really young and thought these are just stupid this game is messed up (i think i caught the bellsprout then traded it for the onix)

[Antares]

A shiny Noibat I was looking for. It died by the old-fashioned crit I didn't need.

[Binix]

Shiny Abra in Pokemon HG/SS

Threw Great Ball rolled once and it popped out and then it used teleport. :'c

I cry everytime.

[Skullkin]

I never let shinies get away...not even my first shiny, a shiny psyduck I found in the diamond safari zone.
