Aw, sweet, I'm a Magmar! And I've actually survived a couple of gyms!
And yeah, all regular Nuzlocke rules go out the window when a shiny shows up. They're pretty much just trophies anyway. I mean, the only shiny I've ever encountered was a freakin' Kricketot (in Pearl Version). Caught it, of course, and evolved it because Kricketot sucks and it evolves at a low level, but...yeah. My lone shiny is a Kricketune.
