HGSS's Red Gyarados

[KazoWAR]

I just loaded up my red Gyarados in pokesav and it seems to not use any known PID Type.

Its PID/IVs are

PID: 3820976739

HP: 19

ATK: 5

DEF: 24

SDEF: 2

SATK: 13

SPD: 16

When I open PID/IV the pid it has is not shown in the entire list. Could it be using a new PID/IV type? Can it not have any at all? As in when the game sets the PId/iv it might do a check, if PID and Trainer ID's not equal shiny then regeneate pid.

I hope we can figure out whats going on here.

I just checked my Red Gyarados with the Legit Checker, and it came up with a Chain Shiny Algorithm. I'm not sure if its just my Red Gyarados, but I think your Red Gyarados would also have the same algorithm as mine.

for the 4th gen, the chain shiny algorithm is how Nintendo enforces shininess.

I would love to see the script for an enforced shiny encounter like in this case in PPRE ...

But Kazo said it didn't conform to anything in Legal... Which I don't find too surprising, they must be using a new method to make a guaranteed shiny.

Floot's red gyrados conforms to chain shiny... if the chain shiny algorithm has changed somewhat, we may need to reinvestigate this.

I put y gyarados in legal and it said it was a chained shiny.

I just didnt know about the chained thing. I just look at PID/IV and noticed its PID wasnt listed in the list at all.

OH, I misunderstood your first post. Nevermind then.

Mine comes up as a Chained Shiny, Although my Shiny Suicune comes up as Normal GBA or NDS. Which is normal because it isn't set a s a shiny.
