>>48517378I accidentally transferred a shiny Lunatone a couple of months ago anon, so I know that feel.
In my defence though, I'm like 95% sure the sparkles didn't appear at the start of the encounter. I thought the Lunatone looked weird, but because I didn't see any sparkles, and because the difference is quite slight (blue eyes vs red eyes), I just transferred it. It wasn't until a couple of hours later when I encountered a regular Lunatone that I realised my mistake.
