unanswered Help editing shiny sprites in HS/SS?

[AiamaiLeeTheMemeMachine]

Hey, I am trying to make a mod that recolors the sprites of shiny pokemon that have kind of shitty shinies (specifically Dragonite, but other shinies too). I'm not trying to make regular pokemon shiny (plenty of AR codes for that), I'm just trying to recolor the sprites of existing shinies so that they look better.

I have already recolored the sprites. However, I keep running across issues.

First I'll pull up the picture of the pokemon I want to recolor, like so:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13725[/ATTACH]

Then, I'll pull up the file that makes it shiny:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13726[/ATTACH]

I open up the file and add my edited sprites for the shiny (which I did index to make it work, btw):

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13727[/ATTACH]

I'll write it to the narc and go back to the regular sprite:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13728[/ATTACH]

Then I go back to where the edited shiny sprite should be, and I get this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13729[/ATTACH]

Fucking this

I think it's something about altering the coloring rather than the sprites themselves, because when I look at Mewtwo:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13730[/ATTACH]

Then go back to where Dragonite was, I get this:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13731[/ATTACH]

It's Mewtwo with Dragonite's colors.

It also happens for the failed recoloring I wrote to the narc:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]13732[/ATTACH]

So, my question is: HOW THE FUCK DO I EDIT THIS SHIT SO I GET A PINK SHINY DRAGONITE WITHOUT THE COLORS FUCKING UP ON ME???
