I'm trying to do a character specific run, and this character is a shiny only run with his partner being a shiny meowth. I'm trying to find a shiny meowth before leaving the Opal Ward, but meowth is not wanting to come home. If anyone has an extra one and finds it in their heart to share that would be much appreciated. Or maybe even advice for finding it easier? Update: I mow have it and now the shiny run truly begins, gonna need all the luck~
