Why did my Charmander egg hatch to shiny Wynaut? Is this a daycare feature?
The other night I stopped Masuda breeding and started to breed a few duplicates of starters with my Japanese Ditto, in the hopes of trading them on the GTS for other starters. I bred Charmander, Cyndaquill, and Fennekin and obtain all three of their eggs.
Here's where it gets weird: the first egg that hatches is the Charmander egg... but it didn't hatch a Charmander... it hatched a shiny Wynaut instead! Both of the other eggs hatched the expected starter.
I've never owned a Wynaut or it's evolution, plus the egg goes into your team once you take it from the caretaker. And that's why I'm really confused!
I've asked a few of my friends and they've got no clue what happened... I'm definitely psyched to have gotten a 1/4000+ chance outcome on my first (nonintentional) attempt. But can you tell me if this is indeed a feature of the daycare system?
Update: Upon request, here is the Wynaut summary screen:

There is no 'random-shiny-baby' factor at all in the Pokemon daycare. As Robotnik? suggested (and your image now confirms), you obtained the egg from the elderly lady in Lavaridge Town.
Even though, congratulations on the shiny Wynaut!

What does Wynaut evolve into?
You can speed up the Egg-hatching process by putting one Pok\xe9mon with either the Magma Armor or the Flame Body Ability in your party, and you can also use the Breeding O-Power to further speed up the time it takes to hatch an Egg. The moves the new Pok\xe9mon knows upon hatching are based on several factors.What abilities hatch Eggs faster?
Pok\xe9mon that hatch from an Egg will come out at level 5, having whatever moves their species can learn by that level, any move both parents know that the hatched Pok\xe9mon can learn through level-up, any TM or HM moves they are compatible with that were known by their father, and any Egg Moves their father passed down.What level are Pokémon when they hatch?
