THE FUSE

I’ve watched a lot of Pokémon fans shiny hunt over the years, but somehow I’ve never actually witnessed what gaming YouTuber RaidAway just pulled off. Shiny Pokémon, the rare, alternate-colored version of the series’ monsters, were introduced in Gold and Silver, but because of how these rarities spawn in the early games, it’s possible that a Pokémon who originates from the first generation games can turn out to be Shiny when they’re traded over. RaidAway encountered an example of exactly that, and he did it with not just any monster, but a Legendary one from Pokémon Blue.
