>>17127362 You know having something like that happen is probably several thousand times rarer than running into a random shiny

>>17127518 Finding a pokemon with 5 maxed IV's in friend safari, considering that two are guaranteed, is 1/29791. Finding that specific spread is 1/178746. Finding that specific spread with Timid is 1/4468650.

The 8 times I found random shinies. Hell, even the first few times I used the pokeradar in Diamond and the one time I tested fishing had me surprised.

Shiny Whismur in a Horde while EV training my Gallade in Speed Ruined the spread slightly, but totally worth it.

I'll probably shamelessly use Snorlax, Lucario, and Lapras as well.
