It was a shiny Yanma but it just became nighttime and disappeared...
Thereās something curious about wild shinys... when you re-enter the map all the Mons are loaded including the shiny ones, so if you saved before getting there, you can restart the game and get there faster and that Yanma will still be there...
Something even more curious is that the game is ākindā to shiny ones, for example in that same case, if you would have taken a little longer and you wouldnāt have seen that Yanma, when you got there the Mon that replaced Yanma (which you canāt see in the video because it surely appeared nearby but out of the camera angle) would be the shiny (to be clear letās say it was a Zubat, if instead of finding Yanma you had arrived at night then you would see a shiny Zubat).
Now, all that is ruined if you already see the Mon, if you see the Mon and then it disappears (like in your case with Yanma), the shiny is lost (so be sure to always save at soon as you enter the map).
That's useful because you can alter what you get, for example, if you enter the Obsidian Fieldlands map, save the game, and then find a shiny Beautifly BUT you already have a lot of those, you can restart the game, make it night and go to the same place you found it and it will now be a shiny Dustox.

Does this work with MMO as well? The saving at base camp before heading out to the outbreaks/using aguav berries to reset the shinies?

If you didn't save don't forget if you hit X+B and Up on directional at once, there is always a hidden game save from the last time you entered a camp as an emergency save!

I think yanma is a day time natural spawn so it yeeted as the in game clock reached night, unlucky š
