Caught myself a beautiful shiny Guzzlord~ I decided that the first legendary/UB wormhole I entered after getting my Shiny Charm, I'd SR for a shiny, and it took me about two days, but here he is~

Might consider going for some other shiny UBs/Legends while I'm wormhole hopping... But first, the last Mantine Surf, then the RR Episode...
And from showing off my newest shiny, a question from the other page I was going to answer...

So, my first non-Gyarados shiny (as I guess almost everyone who's played since before GS has had that as their first...)? There's a small bit of a story involved (well, not really, but some quick background). So, in Ruby and Sapphire, there was a mechanic where swarms would happen in certain routes... On this particular day, it was Skitty, so I was there, finding and catching a load of Skitty (I had at least two boxes worth by the end) and in the middle, this Tailow popped up... Tailow on its own, not too exciting, but one I encountered that day? Instead of the usual blue, it was an interesting green. Of course, I caught it, and then caught another normal Tailow after to be its "Pal" (yes, that was the second one's nickname. I forget what I called my shiny one...)
Transferred it up through games, and somewhere during either 4 or 5, something happened! I'm not completely sure what, but that Tailow (had evolved, so was a Swellow at this point) is now gone... Whether it was accidentally deleted, or traded, or one of my siblings grabbed it, I'm not sure... Maybe one day I'll go for another shiny Tailow/Swellow, as a sort of "memorial" to my long-lost shiny...
