Whelp. I completed the pokedex and got the shiny charm, and was expecting a long, long time before I'd be able to get a Female Shiny Alpha Gardevoir.

My math had it at an average of 30+ hours of just reseting the ice level alpha to get one that was shiny, and then just as I was about to get myself into that slog I caught a random shiny alpha ralts. On one hand, I'm over the moon, on the other hand, I'm kinda deflated.
