yes, i was ev horde training for attack in that ice cave in x/y and i got a horde of vanillite or whatever and one was shiny. since those hordes give special attack i just ran from the horde.
i don't get the appeal of shinies, but i just started competitive battling this gen. do they have increased stats? how do you differentiate between hacked shinies and real ones? what's so special about them? am i missing something?
