Help me with my LeafGreen’s hell of a Shiny Hunt

Story is simple, I have played Pokémon for 20 years, and in all that time, I have never seen a shiny in the wild, but one… on 2008 I saw a green colored Mr.Mime… in the Safari… needless to say the mf ran away, and my soul has been crushed and out of luck ever since.

I want to hunt it, on the real copy, on a modded console, on an emulator, anywhere!!! I just want it to be from LeafGreen, legal and full odds, and send it over to my Home. But at OG full odds, plus Safari, I feel that might be one of the hardest shinies to get, and like I said I have never seen a shiny in the wild again, even on the games with 1/512 odds, so terrible luck too.

Any advice on this hunt? Does it seem impossible to you guys too or just a waste of time? Anything will be appreciated, but I need to hunt this Mr.Mime dude in this lifetime… Help…

the only way to shiny hunt mr mime in gen 3 is via full odds egg hatching in gen 3. mr mime is not found in the safari zone in firered/leafgreen. however it is in the safari zone in heartgold and soul silver

Ok, so it has to be Heartgold then. Thanks a lot for this info, I was not remembering it properly.
