>>21395399and to answer OP's questions:
>On a scale of 0-10, how gr8 is this shiny's palette?It's a 7-8. It was probably a 5-6 back in 4th gen, when it looked pink... but now that lugia's shiny is crimson with 'light red', I'm liking it a lot more. A 9 or a 10 shiny would have to be something like shadow lugia, a full colour change.
>Do IV's/abilities matter? Will you trash your shiny if it ain't perfect?I don't bin any shinies. Competitiveness is a bonus, but I'd rather spend time getting gud than looking gud if competitiveness was a huge factor.
>any superstitions/rituals you autists like to partake in on your shiny quest?I keep a woodland tally.
