How I ALMOST failed my favourite shiny pokemon

I went on a double hunt for two of my favourite shinies: Deerling and Sprigatito. I came away with two shinies but... its not exactly what I expected and here's what happened. Here are the highlights of the shiny hunting stream!
Also, saving in front of a shiny in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet saves all the pokemon in your vicinity and they will be the same ones when you log back in. It's a valid strat so you don't lose shinies if they explode or something when you're shiny hunting.

I almost failed a shiny riolu because it had final gambit however after it broke out of my quick ball it used copycat, luckily I then switched to ceruledge, it then used final gambit and I thought it was dead but I was shocked because it didn’t die after, I only realised then that if it doesn’t effect a Pokémon it doesn’t die, so yeah I’m super lucky I caught it 🎉

I didn't know that about final gambit! I had something similar where a shiny fortress used explosion on my flutter mane but it still died despite it not affecting my ghost -congrats on the riolu!
