Shiny Pokemon Encounters

[Duke of Gourmandizing]

I've encountered a few shiny Pokemon. I've met a shiny female Shinx on Route 203, as well as a shiny female Roselia on the northern part of Route 212, both in Pokemon Platinum. I wasn't intending to capture any shiny Pokemon, thus I didn't use the Poke Radar, and I wasn't prepared and mostly had overlevelled Pokemon thus would give an instant K.O. when hit. And, with the latter, there'd be a type disadvantage or could put your Pokemon to sleep. I mostly used my Togepi, later Togetic.
