My first REAL shiny without the Action Replay was a link trade for a shiny Gabite wich is now a Lv. 100 Garchomp... but before i started a shiny hunt, it started when my friend had a random encounter with a shiny wurmple,I felt jelous even though I was a female character (friends sister game b4 mine) because he evolved it to Beautifly, then thats when the hunt began!
