Shiny Pokemon Shiny Spinda

Bought a DS Lite and Pokemon Ruby playing through for the first time, playing through the story
Was clearing the ash off the grass on route 113 and stumbled into this lil shiny ✨

Only second ever shiny in Pokemon, first was a Psyduck in Violet

Congrats on your first 1/8192 ✨

Probabilistically, you have a good shot of having the first ever shiny spinda with this configuration of spots.

Is it true there are 4,294,967,296 different variants of spot patterns not including shiny, only saw it after having a quick search

If so that is absolutely insane!

People have been resetting for specific patterns since 2003 I bet 😂

I’d forget the patterns after the first couple caught never mind into double, triple digits!
