The Pokemon Go player mentioned that their dad had been looking for a shiny Mareep for quite a while and just recently, they were together in a car when they saw a wild Mareep spawn.
Both of them clicked on the Mareep and to their delight, it turned out to be shiny for the OP, who outright said “it’s yours” to their father. After a celebratory scream, they went on to trade the shiny Mareep and the OP received their first Garchomp.
