So I got only my second shiny encounter in any Pokémon game (outside of the Red Gyarados encounters in GSC and HG/SS) the other day while breeding Froakie. I was wondering what that red star marking was about for a while, until it dawned upon me that this Froakie was slightly off-colour.
I Wonder Traded it because it didn't have Protean. Now I regret it.
Ouch. Did you breed it with one of those dittos from that breedingdittos subreddit?
