I have shiny Beedrill that I caught as a Weedle about an hour or so into the game. It has a Hasty nature, but otherwise, I guess it's useless, lol.

Right now, I'm hunting for a Shiny Wobbuffet(who saw that coming), and I'm hatching for a shiny Lickitung. *prepares for the months of hunting and egg hatching* =^_^=
