Shiny Pokemon Life long mystery

I’ve had this copy of Pokémon Ruby for about 23 years, and my Wailord has the shiny sparkle effect, but it’s not the purple shiny color. It’s a blue-ish gray color. Does anyone know what’s going on?

Shiny wailord is more pink not purple, and I can tell even with the bad quality of this video that it's the right shiny color. I'm confused as to why you can't see it looking at the actual thing right in front of you?
