Trying to egg breed for a shiny in the older Pokemon games is a pain in the ass. I could do some RNG manipulation but that's a lot of work trying to find out my secret ID and other stuff required to properly time the RNG for a shiny right. I guess for now I'm stuck with hundreds of Lapras just sitting in my boxes. At least we can say Lapras won't be lorewise near-extinct by this point :lol
