So... I was gonna try leveling up a Togepi to increase its friendship to evolve it so I could breed it for a shiny, when this happened... Does anyone know how and/or why this happened...? It's the 3DS release of Pokemon Crystal, and I haven't done any glitches whatsoever, if that helps at all...

I spent a week hunting for a shiny Buizel in Legends Arceus. Got the shiny charm and fully filled Buizel's Pokedex, and still couldn't find one. After finding nearly a dozen other shinies since I started, I finally got a shiny Buizel. And on top of that, it was an alpha! My first shiny alpha, too!
