Shiny Pokémon for Trade? (Combined Edition)

Baimu had to count himself lucky that he'd encountered the Water Field during the qualifiers.

At the same time...

He'd faced a Tentacruel that had terrible luck and kept making mistakes. It had tried a Poison-type move against a Steel-type Pokémon, then frozen for a moment when Aggron used Surf, throwing away its chance for nothing.

The Battle Tent didn't use
