Shiny locking is a mechanic that prevents a Pokémon from being shiny if it has already been encountered and not caught. This means that if you encounter a shiny Pokémon and don’t catch it, it will not be shiny if you encounter it again. In LeafGreen, shiny locking does not exist, which means that if you encounter a shiny Pokémon, it will remain shiny even if you don’t catch it.

In conclusion, LeafGreen does have shinies, but the odds of encountering one are extremely low. The only way to get a shiny Pokémon in LeafGreen is to encounter it in the wild, and even then, the chances are only 1 in 8192.
