Trust me, shiny hunting is the most tedious thing ever. It took around five months of getting eggs and biking around, either exploring routes, the distance between the Battle Chateu and the Pokemon Center, or around Lumoise Tower ad nauseum. But it's crazy rewarding when you finally see the one that's not like the others, the one you've been lookin' for. So take that for whatever it's worth--Just be sure, if you do go shiny hunting yourself, you bring someone who has the Flame Body ability, to cut your steps right in half. Makes it so much less tedious, and a fire-type gets some action.

But thanks, both of you!! Augh I love her so much I wanna hug her but I cannot
