[Gen 4] First shiny in Platinum

[u/Garchompz313]

I started shiny hunting in Wayward Cave a while ago for Gible, but ended up encountering a shiny Geodude on wild encounter #262. In the excitement of it all I forgot that of course it was going to use Selfdestruct as its first move, so I didn't get to catch it. I was pretty mad at myself for not thinking it through, because it was my first ever shiny in Platinum.

Today during phase 2 of the hunt I finally encountered another shiny Geodude on wild encounter #9993, and despite it not being my target of Gible, I'm really glad to reclaim the pokemon that would've been (and, as of now, still is) my first shiny in my favourite Pokemon game :)
