>>15747019Congratz OP!
I thought I might as well share this story because it's somewhat related to my first shiny.
>recently find out about shinies when Diamond/Pearl were out(didn't know Red Gyarados was a 'shiny')>go back to play Silver>run into a shiny Phanpy>I hit it to yellow>it flees the next turn (some specific Pokemon could do that in Silver/Gold)>have really good luck with shinies since>tonight spend time in friend safari trying to get a shiny Phanpy like the one that got away>run into pic related after a few hours of mindless encountersI'm pretty happy. It's like you can't tell it's shiny though until you evolve it. Sorry for the crappy quality pictures.
