In Colosseum shadow Pokemon are the only Pokemon that aren't shiny locked and it's the other way around in XD.

@GamingEelektross 2 ай бұрын

When they made Colosseum they made the Shadow Pokemon's ID numbers random, so if they matched the enemy trainer they could be shiny then. The problem was that they also needed to match the player's own numbers or else theyd go back to being not shiny. By XD they wrote in code to shiny lock them.

@s.p.pennlight7299 2 ай бұрын

@@GamingEelektross False, actually, but a very popular rumor. In order to be shiny the pokemon needs to match your ID, but due to a bugged shiny lock it reads the enemy trainer's ID and will not appear to be shiny in your first battle. You must catch it to reveal its shiny-ness, and if it was shiny it will sparkle on a rematch battle, though by that point its stats and shiny-ness are locked in. There is no chance of a shiny pokemon becoming non-shiny, unless you are the demonstration battle Hitmontop, as its stats are re-rolled after said demonstration battle. There are a nice collection of shiny hunters who have videos up on this, nowadays. In XD, the shiny lock was fixed, and there are no shadow shines.

@saxor96 2 ай бұрын

@@s.p.pennlight7299 A little bit of wrong info there too. Hitmontop's first fight always counts as a rematch, their stats are always generated in the fight against Pikachu. Also, in a rematch, the game takes the enemy trainer's ID to see if it's shiny or not, but only while it's in their posession, so a Shadow Pokemon that isn't shiny for you can be shiny for the enemy oponent in any subsequent rematch.

Fun fact: due to a programming oversight in Pokémon Colloseum, it is possible for your shadow Pokémon to become shiny after you catch as the mons OT number would be overwritten by the player's OT number. While it was fixed in XD Gales of Darkness, it's still a fun tidbit

@mysterymann4225 2 ай бұрын

Not quite right. As I've come to know it the reason shadow pokemon "become shiny" in colo is because the PID/SID for enemy trainers is used in battle versus the player PID/SID. Once captured and the PID/SID of the player will apply and will reveal the pokemon to be shiny. I believe it is possible to encounter a shiny pokemon on the enemy's side on colo and when caught it will not be shiny for the same reason, but I am unsure.

@videogamesarecool9280 2 ай бұрын

@@mysterymann4225you can catch shiny pokemon in colloseum. you are correct that the trainers shiny and the player's catch shiny are different roles, so if you catch a shiny, it wont be shiny after you catch it, but there is a shiny role for the player catching a pokemon, so you can only see if a pokemon is shiny after you capture it, but you can very much get shiny pokemon in colo. someone did a whole challenge run on youtube to get every shiny in the game, lots of rng manipulation

One I remember from reading a smogon analysis is that Genescect must always be shiny. An event distributed a shiny Genescect with shift gear, a potent boosting move. This was good enough set to even be part of one of the recommended sets, as opposed to a choice scarf set which operates entirely differently (boosing sweeper vs momentum pivot), making this one of the most important mons to have as a shiny (outside Greninja, of course).

There was actually a separate shiny Tapu Koko distribution in USUM, which wasn't nature-locked. It was late 2019 though (compared to the Timid one which was early-mid 2017), so all of gen 7's VGCs had come and passed. Fine for Smogon tiers, though.

@OsirusIrdia 2 ай бұрын

For the gen 2 trio in gen 4 singles, there is an important note you glanced over. The shiny optimization for Suicune and Raikou (and Entei if you don't want adamant nature) have suboptimal fixed natures. Suicune has relaxed (negative speed) and Raikou has Rash (negative sp. def). So if you want to bluff Aura Sphere Raikou, you have to run rash nature instead of something like timid/modest. The reason for this is that the trio were only given out in a Cherish Ball. There are no legitimate ways of getting a shiny non-rash Raikou in a cherish ball in gen 4. In the games you can see what type of pokeball your opponent uses for each Pokemon. So for VGC you have to run rash Raikou to bluff Aura Sphere. But the issue is that Smogon (primary place for gen 4 singles) does not show the ball of the opponent's Pokemon. This is a problem because it means you can run a shiny Timid Raikou to bluff Aura Sphere and it is indistinguishable from an event shiny rash Raikou. This means in singles, there is a FALSE OPTIMIZATION. This optimization is still a thing but it is a weaker optimization. In the real games you can use a shiny Raikou to bluff Aura Sphere but it MUST BE RASH. In smogon singles, you can run a shiny Raikou with any nature to bluff Aura Sphere. This is an important distinction that must be made because currently Smogon allows an optimization that does not exist in the real games.

Bounce Magikarp was also obtainable on the Winner's Path on the PokeWalker. It has a bunch of other special pokemon, but sadly was also only distributed through an event.

@alliinase9076 12 күн бұрын

Magikarp can learn Bounce via move tutors in Platinum, HGSS, B2W2 and USUM. So it wasn't really an issue of it being event-exclusive in general. It's just that during SM's VGC 2017, transfer moves were banned, and USUM wasn't out yet so no access to the move tutors.

@@alliinase9076 Wow, turns out all but the Munchlax on Winner's Path have attacks that are either egg moves or move tutor. Munchlax got selfdestruct, which wouldn't be an egg move for a few generations. And here I thought a muddy water Horsey and zen headbutt Beldum were special.

What I really learned today is the pokemon distribution events are busted. Imagine trying to get into competitive pokemon now and learning you have to account for special pokemon from literally two decades ago.

Transfer moves don't matter today since all pokemon lose their moves upon transfer into Gen 8

Another good example is if you're running a Zorarork to create mass confusion. Either the entire team has to be shiny or none at all.

Illusion will mimic the color and sparkle of a shiny even if the Zoroark isn't shiny, and vice versa.

Gotta love the fact that people are so desperate for timer stalling that they'll run shiny Pokémon just for that.

No,Ting-Lu runs Fissure to make it’s Stomping Tantrum a MURDER-MOVE,it goes one of two ways: One:You hit Fissure and the opponent dies Or Two:You miss and Stomping Tantrum does double damage

Couldn't they just tell based on the ball they were caught in? Like if your shiny Suicune isn't in a Cherish Ball that's a dead giveaway.

Only a split second to check so you get an advantage in game 1 likely

iirc, an example you didnt mention is in gen2. you never really want to run shinies since they have a stat disadvantage due to the way that shinyness is determined in gen2.

Started Pokemon X in the New Year. Been taking my time raising diverse teams and Pokemon I've never used before. Really taking time to explore and talk with npcs. Z-A IS ANNOUNCED, get the super rod. Go back to route 3. Instant shiny Gyrados. (Naive, nods off alot.) I named her Lucky.

The trick of using a random shiny legendary beast and pretending it’s an event one doesn’t work because of the Pokeball. You can mimic the appearance of the Pokemon but you can’t (legally) mimic the appearance of the Pokeball.

Landorus incarnate in gen 7 monotype and ubers couldn't be run shiny as at the time the only way to get it's hidden ability was through dream radar which was shiny locked so by running a shiny you where telling them you has sand force meaning the set was physical as apposed to sheer force sets that where mixed or special attackers
