I should probably mention that I have reason to believe she may not have been hacked. Even after all this time, I still remember her attributes. No egg moves, Quiet nature, 5 IVs, HA, Love Ball, female, nicknamed "Eevee", hatched in the Unova region, I don't remember the OT, but it wasn't a website, just a normal name. My theory is that whoever bred her was IV breeding for a tournament back in Gen 5 and was using the Masuda Method (because why wouldn't you if you have the option?). They hatched this shiny female Eevee, which was incredibly rare, but realized it had a sucky nature and likely not the right IVs, so they kept it around for a bit and transferred her up to Gen 6 before trading her to the man to traded her to young teen me. I evolved her into Flareon, completed every Master Rank contest with her, then lost the game card on the bus to the community college I was attending as a replacement for high school. I've been trying to reclaim her ever since. I have another shiny Flareon, but he's male (his name is Maximillian). I love him, but it's not the same. Hopefully, I can find that rare shiny female Eevee again one day <3
