I was so in shock I could not type properly even after I caught him, lol. I was charmed 5% when he shined! The total encounters are closer to 30k since I did 18k at Trapinch a few months ago and started this counter when I moved here. I will be following SamuelJacksons lead and keeping him a Grovyle for the rest of his days. He rolled Relaxed / 31HP.
I'll take this moment to say I appreciate all of the shunters out there sharing their catches, as a longtime lurker of this thread it's kept me motivated to continue towards my PokeMMO Goals.
