First evah shiny is a tentacool. It's named Surume, used it in one of the tournaments although it had poor IVs when it evolved. I've trained it well and he did good at the tournament. We lost of course.
Most hype probably was my three month in the making shiny charmander, named Sabo: Dragon's Claw. I had 5 other shiny charmanders before him, I was aiming for a competitive one. I researched ways of doing it: Masuda method, tried it for a month, hatched 2 shinies wrong IVs; Masuda + Shiny charm, completed the dex in couple of weeks (through the help of my brother, GTS, wonder trade, and this community "shout out to terrorkid), hatched 2 more shinies still wrong IVs; Finally learned about Time machine Masuda + Charm, and in a few days I finally hatched my hunted charmander.
