When I started pokemon Silver back in the day I caught a Shiny Magikarp before the lake of Rage, and used it in my team which evolved to gyarados but to my horror, you could get a Shiny gyarados though plot so my shiny was everywhere and basically meaningless, and that Magikarp has been the only Shiny I ever got (outside of plot and event shinies)

Still better than me, look at previous post ^

And also, shiny magikarp looks like solid gold. You should've left it as it was because it turns into red gyarados, which doesn't have as much swag
