Will checking the Pokedex work for seeing if I have a shiny Fossil in ORAS?

Jun. 17, 2022

I’m planning on hunting the fossils in ORAS, and I’m wondering if I can check theappearancessection in the Pokedex to see if I got a shiny to spare me from going to the Poke center every time.

First, I started by hacking myself 500 fossils.

Next, I went and revived 86 of them, and checked my Pokédex. I’ve unlocked form for for female, but no shiny. I checked my PC and no shiny.

In my hacking software, I changed one of the Tirtouga in my PC to be shiny. I opened Alpha Sapphire.

I opened my Pokédex immediately, and I have unlocked the shiny form.

Tl;drI tried it out myself, got bored, turned one of the Tirtouga I revived that was in my PC into a shiny, checked my Pokédex, and it was shiny in the forms.Theoretically, you should be able to view shinies from your dex even when immediately sent to your pc legitimately.

I hope this helps!
