Mystery Gift in Gen V shiny check?

[Zowayix]

I'm fully aware that Mystery Gifts in Gen IV cannot be shiny unless they are programmed to be always shiny. Is this still true in Gen V? I've checked a number of sources and gotten some conflicting info, so I'd just like to get this clarified.

[Bond697]

gen 5 has a setting to prevent shininiess, allow shininess, or set shininess. some of the more recent cards have no shiny prevention on them.

[Zowayix]

Which ones? The Event database doesn't appear to distinguish this.

[Guested]

Yes it does. The cards which do not have shiny prevention and cards that are set as shiny are noted.

Entries that have nothing mentioned cannot be shiny.

[Zowayix]

Oh, my bad, I was only looking at the English Gen V events. It looks like the only Gen V events that can either be shiny or not shiny are Japanese so far.

[Bond697]

so far, yeah.
