Ran away from a shiny today

Started shiny hunting for the first time ever in Pokémon. Encountered my 3rd ever shiny and because the game was sped up and I was shaking a little, i clicked on run away. ■■■■ me, still hurts a little, will try to get him again tho! I put him to sleep and threw like 20 ultra balls, and failed, then I missclicked.

Yeah I hypnosed the fucker 40 times, I’m very new to shiny hunting so wasn’t prepared enough, only used hypnose and ultra balls. I tested on a regular one and caught it straight away so thought I was good, threw like 20+ balls didn’t get him and then missclicked run cause I got stressed.
