Best Answer
In fact, yeah, there is a way. But it requires third-party hardware.
For this to work, you will need:
- 2 Gameboy Colors/Advances
- A link cable
- A GBC Flash Cart of your choosing (preferably one compatible with the emulator you're using).
- A compatible SD card
Step 1: Transfer files to SD card
I recommend following a video tutorial for transferring emulator files onto your Flash Cart because this part is a little bit complicated and may need a better tutorial than plain text.
Step 2: Start up the games
Once you have successfully transferred your emulator files onto your Flash Cart, put both your official copy of the Gen 2 games and your Flash Cart into compatible Gameboy systems. These devices must be able to connect via link cable.
Step 3: Initiate trade
After both games have started up, connect the link cable to each device, head to a Pokémon center, and set up a trade room. Select the Pokémon you want to trade (in this case your shiny along with a throwaway, likely a Ladyba or Sentret) and accept the trade.
If done correctly, your shiny has been successfully transferred to an official cartridge. Your shiny now has a new home with legitimate non-emulator Pokémon. Nobody will know the difference ;)

Can you trade from emulators?
Unfortunately, you cannot trade Pok\xe9mon with other emulator users; however, you can trade with yourself in order to port Pok\xe9mon between the two emulators.Can You Move Pokémon from GameBoy to Virtual Console?
