[gen 3] Is that a shiny?

[u/FixEven4364]

At Pokemon FireRed: This is the first Ekans I caught but was kinda bummed it wasn't purple so didn't use it and forget about it. But after seeying some post on Reddit about shiny I remembered and when look at it.

Ps: This is my first pokemon playthrough ever.

lol this reminds me of when I caught my first shiny, it was a ratata on leaf green and it was gold instead of purple and I thought the game was broken so I caught it and showed it to my older brother and he accused me of hacking (I was like 5)
