I think it has some merit, though the way they infused the mechanic is a bit off-putting, seeing as it seems like you're just using money to get better things [which is a real-life thing rather than a "work hard for it" kind of thing that Pokemon usually does, ie. Shiny Charm]. And damn, that's so lucky! Shame you didn't get a shiny Truant Durant [I still think it has the best hidden ability ever because Truant Durant Truant Durant Truant Durant Truant Durant] but hey, two is better than [n]one!
