I just got into playing rom hacks and loaded up Pokemon Ultra Violet which is a romhack of firered.

When I was doing the initial quest for Oak, before getting pokeballs, I encountered a shiny pidgy. I was a bit bummed as it was my first ever shiny encounter and Ive been playing my whole life.

After giving him the parcel, I found another shiny pidgy on the same route.

I did not play gen 3 games much, so were shinies easy to find in this gen or did a i just get extremely lucky?
