What was the first Pokémon Shiny in history?

You might not know what the official Pokémon timeline is, or you don't know what the shiny version of Zamazenta is like either, but it's almost impossible that you don't know the first Pokémon that was a shiny in Game Freak games. What if we tell you that it is a Water / Flying type, it has very bad milk and his shiny is colored Crimson red?

Exact! The first shiny in Pokémon history was the Red Gyarados of Lake of Fury in Pokémon Gold and Silver

Do you remember, right? The truth is that forgetting this moment is complicated, basically because it was so iconic at the time it is a residue in the memory of all of us who play the Second Generation of the saga. Also, it's the only shiny one so far whose encounter is not accidental, but canonical, because whenever we play Gold, Silver and their remakes, we will find it and we can hunt it without problems.

Another curiosity before closing this chapter is that the red color of the Gyarados Shiny is due to a forced evolutionat least that's what we are told in the anime

of the franchise, and it happens this way since the Pokémon does not have any time to change their scales blue, retaining the usual Magikarp tint.

We assume that most of you knew that the Red Gyarados was the first shiny in the history of Pokémon, but surely some of you have learned new things today and, even, we have discovered the first variocolor that existed, because not everyone has played the original titles or their remakes

. So, if you haven't caught Red Gyarados on your Pokémon adventures yet, What are you waiting for?
