TescoBag Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Hey guys, I've edited a pokemon to make them shiny by using the generate shiny ID feature - this changes the SID to create a shiny pokemon as far as I am aware. When I've sent my save file back to my DS, the game treats my pokemon like it has been traded. I assume this is because the SID doesn't match - is there a way to make them match while still having the pokemon shiny? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandixon Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 SID=Secret ID of the Trainer PID=Pokemon ID The Pokemon ID has info about shinyness. The Secret ID helps determine the Pokemon's owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I just want to make a pokemon shiny, no other changes how would I go about this? Generating a shiny ID works, but as I said before the game doesn't see me as the pokemons original trainer?

Cheronprince Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Generating a shiny ID changes the SID. If you want the Pokemon to stay as your OT you can't use this feature. To make a Shiny with your correct OT/SID info follow the instructions in This Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codr Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It's amazing how little everyone knows after all this time. PID and OT ID are both equally involved in shininess determination, evandixon. You can exclusively modify the PID to make your Pokemon shiny. There's never any NEED to modify the trainer information. If you're one of the morons who care about your data matching game-generated data, then there are some cases where you won't be able to match the PID properly.
