Holy shit I have to post it somewhere, but I think I've never been so fuckin lucky in a Pokemon Game before:
I was just looking for a Paras to trade it on the GTS and I got this two shinies in
a row. In a fuckin row. I couldn't believe it when Paras appeared, I was so shocked. I'm pretty sure the shiny encounter rate is higher in the friend park, but still, meeting two shinies in a ROW god damn (the best proof I have is them being caught on the same date).
Also got this one one week ago while looking for a Heracross to complete the dex:
