4th Gen Shiny ditto, easily

[Mumfie]

To get a shiny ditto easily:
"Trade the Red Gyarados back to Red/Blue/Yellow and let it learn TM 31, Mimic. Trade it back(gsc) and delete all of its moves except Mimic(blackthorne city). Fight a wild Ditto(in pokemon rby). Let it use transform to turn into your Gyarados. Use Mimic to mimic Transform. Let Gyarados use Transform. Let Ditto use Transform again. Then, catch it. It will be shiny. Now that you have a shiny Ditto, you can breed any Pokemon with it. Your odds of getting a shiny egg is 1:64 where regular odds would be 1:8000."

I've not tried it yet, so could anyone tell me whether this is fake or not? :)

I've never even heard of this before, to be honest. o_o; My bet goes on it being fake, unless it's a glitch that not many know about. However, I doubt it's real. If you're still interested in knowing, then you can ask again in the Question & Answer Thread in the Pokémon Color and Metal Generation Games (GB/GBC) section. I'd suggest giving the link to the source where you found this as well, because not all sources are true when sharing certain types of information.
