Congrats! This exact situation happened where I was hunting a bonsly mass outbreak and the same exact kricketot shined for me too! the DELELELE WHOOP works in magical ways
i love kricketune, my boy LaDaDee beat Cynthia on his own after so much frustration in BD. Metronome item, double team, swords dance, substitute and x scissor. Thankyou for allowing me to use my og team to beat Cynthia, and with now one of my favorite pokemon for being the adorable mvp.
The pokémon was caught with no modifiers to increase its shiny odds (research level 10, swarm, shiny charm, etc) Since he did not have a research level of 10 on kricketot in the Pokédex, the kricketot was the lowest possible odds in game to be shiny (1 in 4096)
