YOU GAVE UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A SHINY LUGIA
 Ahhh whyyyyyyyyyyy

Answer 1

Dont worry this is no glitch. What you experience was a Shiny Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon are no different from regular Pokemon besides their color scheme. They are also extremely rare. You just gave up a rare opportunity to catch a shiny legendary.

That is some bull.  This person finds a shiny Lugia and let's it go, but when I wanted a Shiny Axew, they were freakin' extinct!

How come you find Shiny Lugia on the third try but I can't find Shiny Eevee on the 50th try?
