I originally thought it was a gender difference, like male and female Nidoran, since I had only ever seen male Torkoals. I almost ran, but I decided to catch it JUST IN CASE. I didn't know it was a shiny, because I was looking away from my screen when I encountered it, so I missed the sparkles. But I'm glad I caught her.
literally every other shiny I've got since this one has been the regional rat or bug of the respective game
