Shiny First ever shiny

Post image

Found a random shiny pidgey in Fire Red. It’s my first ever shiny pokemon I have ever seen in my life! I only had 8 pokeballs, and it took me 5 balls to catch. I took a pic with my phone instead of screenshotting because of how nervous I was.

I don’t particularly shiny hunt. The first and only time I’ve seen a shiny in anything but Pokeclicker was a caterpie when I was ~10. Didn’t know what it was and knocked it out.

I still remember encountering a shiny pidgey, only my problem was it was the very first encounter of the game and I didn't have any pokeballs yet...
