I think I deleted that save a long time ago, but either way it's gone. The other shiny was the static red gyarados everyone has, and I have like 5 of them now.
I didn't start finding random shinies like crazy until overworld encounters started being a thing and I caught more than 20 in SwSh just from exploring.
Never once hatched one.
