Shiny Magikarp Encounter + Evolution

I landed over 7000 Magikarps, as shown in the Fishing Records at the end of the video. I started hunting for this shiny in December 2008; until this shiny appeared when I least expected it, in late January 2009. In this video, after catching it in a Premier Ball, I prove it's not hacked. Notice that the normal, non-shiny Magikarp that I encounter after the shiny, is all in the same video clip, with no editing. That's proof. If you use an Action Replay DS and activate the all wild shiny code, you encounter shinies 100% of the time, so that's more proof mine is legit. Even more, my ARDS stopped working months ago, so I couldn't hack even if I wanted to. Later on in the video, I show the summary screen of the shiny (so lucky the Adamant Synchronizer worked), and after that I show it evolving into an awesome red Gyarados. After that, I show my fishing records in Jubilife City.

This shiny has awesome IVs!
HP - 18, Attack - 27, Defense - 22, Sp. Atk - 12, Sp. Def - 21, Speed - 26.

The Speed IV, combined with 252 Speed EVs, allows me to outrun the fastest Jolly Weavile possible (after a Dragon Dance)... woot! Also, the only low IV was Sp. Atk, which is good it's the one irrelevant stat.

And yes, I did use a hardstyle song for humourous effect, since you wouldn't expect that kind of music for something as tame as a video of a shiny Magikarp!

I would level up my shiny Magikarp to level 100 if I found one, magikarp is my favorite pokemon.

@randomenvelope It's cooler than Bidoof, I guess.

[randomenvelope]

@DrDimentio magikarp is just so cool, so hilarious, ever came across in a pokemon game a trainer that has like 6 magikarps in a row and you gain so little exp from them? Hes legend to me.

[DrDimentio]

@randomenvelope I'd consider him more of a legend if there was decent exp. to gain from them, lol.

So will it count towards a shiny chain after defeating one after another?

[DrDimentio]

@Fret22StringSee No, that's only with the Poke Radar.

[KawaiiGaIx]

and the What the f**k

naga queen is evolving ROLF

[randomenvelope]

@DrDimentio hes a genius, a legend, if you gain a lot but he does not, he wouldn't be much of a legend, this guy needs to be in every game, but so far I've only seen him in white and platinum, not seen him in ruby or soulsilver

[DeanHavoc]

My shiny Charizard is the best
