Pokémon’s DVs determining shiny in S/G/C?
Jul. 17, 2020I was told a Pokémon’s shiny is determined by its DVs. Does this mean that there is no chance to have a shiny 6IV Pokémon from Gen 1/2 VC games?

In Generation II, being Shiny is determined by a Pokémon’s IVs. If a Pokémon’s Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because of this, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a Generation I game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.
Since the HP IV is calculated from the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon’s HP IV will always be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.
