Ah, the first Pokémon I didn't hatch in the wild or obtain from someone or something else. So, if you know what the Friend Safari is from X&Y, then you know that The Pokémon you can get there have REALLY high shiny odds. I think it's 1/512, which is pretty nice. However, this shiny didn't take me over 500 encounters to get. Want to know how many it was? ONE ENCOUNTER. SERIOUSLY. And it was my first time in the Friend safari too! I don't even know how that happens XD. Oh, and you wanna know what shiny it was?

A shiny PIKACHU.

Yeah. That's got to be the most coincidental thing to ever happen to me XD.
Anyways, here she is 😜

Well, now I have a question. I'm set on leveling up and evolving this Pikachu, but I'm not sure if I should evolve it into a shiny Raichu or a shiny Alolan Raichu. They're both cool, but I want your opinions on this, too! What should I do?
