Mine and your shiny pokemon

I have a few shiny pokemon. These include Gyarados,Ho-oh,Venonat,Milotic,Pichu,Pikachu,Raichu,Pidgeot,Rapidash, and Meganium.
Though they are not in the order in which I got them. Venonat was my first shiny pokemon, I have nicknamed it Veno. I caught Veno in a safari ball meaning I caught it in the safari zone. I shall tell you the story. Back when I didn't know what shinies where I was just hanging out in the safari zone in Fire Red. When suddenly I encountered a Venonat with blue eyes. I was very suprised knowing Venonat usually have red eyes. It was a male and level 28,so I decided to catch it but alas I failed. But I really wanted that blue-eyed Venonat. I ran around encountered three Tauros and finally found THE SAME SHINY POKEMON!!!!!! I had no clue Iwas encredibly lucky! This time I caught the strange pokemon and soon found out about shiny pokemon. I then evolved Venonat into Venomoth and nicknamed it Veno. Now Veno is in Soul Silver with my other shinies and is my favorite pokemon. Now I want to know if you have any shinies. Leave a comment telling me your shiny pokemon, it's nature, and the story in which you caught/event/breed the shiny pokemon. Happy shiny hunting!!!

Shinies

A shiny pokemon is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. The term "Shiny Pokémon" refers to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the games. However, official sources have used the term Shiny.[1]
Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as Glaceon, having their Shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like Caterpie show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar alternate colorations, even if their standard colorations remain consistent; both Ponyta and Rapidash have orange flames, but an alternate colored Ponyta has blue flames, while an alternate colored Rapidash has gray flames.
Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of Shellos and Gastrodon are not normal/Shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to the difference between Unown or Spinda.
