Yup. You could use a shiny Ditto in 2nd gen to get shinies like crazy. Not so much anymore since you can't really use the 1st gen shiny gyarados exploit... obviously, lol.
it's what my little sister has been trying to trade over to her games so she can reproduce her shinies. It has to be a japanese ditto though sadly. She's way better than me when it comes to getting shinies. I only caught two wild shinies. I believe shes already in the 30s. This includes breeding and catching them wildly.

Shiny Dittos were so fun to get with 2nd/1st gen.
