Square Shiny Pokemon editing in SW/SH

[manolin18]

Hi

Is it possible that there are 2 PIDs for shiny square?

With this TID and SID (863658/0087) there are 2 PIDs B479002F and 1997ADC1

Thank you

[Guest]

There should be 65536 possible square shiny PIDs for each TID/SID combo.

idk if someone metioned that: just hold shift and press the star in pkhex. it will make the pokemon a square shiny.

This thread was started before the function was implemented into PKHeX. You’re replying to the thread after the fact.

great to know, I've been wondering how to do that myself.

PKHeX is able to generate square shinies.

Insert the TID and SID into PKHeX, then just hold shift and press the star in PKHeX

Hey! So I saw in the Batch editor thread there was a User who was stating that in the Mass editor if you enter .PID=$shiny0 that will change all pokemon to Xor=0/Square Shinies. I have tried multiple times and I am unable to get it to work. I don't receive any errors, it looks like it changes the PIDs to shiny but doesn't calculate Xor=0 from the TID/SID. So the only way would be to hold Shift while toggling shiny for the mons?

If your mons are already shiny, the square shiny won't work. Yes, .PID=$shiny0 does work for gen 8, but I'm unsure how it fares on lower gens.
(you didn't state what games you were using, so I assumed that a .either the mons were already shiny or b. not gen 8 )

Make sure you're on the latest PKHeX. The .PID=shiny0 wasn't implemented when SWSH was first supported. Maybe you have that version.

If your mons were already shiny, use .PID=$rand to unshinify them, then proceed to use .PID=$shiny0

If you save is of a lower gen, I don't have a solution. Maybe import the mon in gen 8 then try there.

I tried this on USUM save file and later transfer them to Bank --> Home --> SwSh but it didn't work. They are start shiny still. It only works if I do it manually.

The transfers retain the PID, regardless of star/square. That means that you probably need to set their PID when in gen 8

Thanks for the response, they are all shiny already  I will do that.

Hello, is there any way to make Square Shiny pokemons em US UM ? I made some pkmns and some of it become square shinies when I transfered to SwSh, and some no.

 

Note: In pkhex when I load my US Save they don't change the shiny type pressing Shift

[ZMQuade]

Can I also ask for help re getting ultra shinies?
My IDs are:

SID - 3735 | TID - 124250

Thank you!

Apparently I have to manually calculate the PID. Holding Shift + Click doesn't work for me as well.

are you doing it on a gen 8 save, and what version is your PKHeX?

No, I edit on USUM save file since I don't have a hacked Switch. PKHeX version is 20.02.14.

Only those I manually changed the PID will be square shiny in Sw/Sh.

Erm, that only works for Gen 8, of course it wouldn't work.

 

Okay,  load an empty PKHeX with a gen 8 blank save.
drag the mons over, use the ctrl + click method to obtain square shiny PID,
Then use those PIDs on another PKHeX window that is editing your gen 7 save.

Is there a way to change all mons PID to the same value? I'm thinking if I can batch edit them, it will be faster.

I used this but apparently, it didn't work. As in, the Pokemon PIDs didn't change.

=FatefulEncounter=False

=RibbonClassic=False

!Ball=16

=IsShiny=False

=TrainerID7=[TID]

=TrainerSID7=[SID]

.PID=[PID number]

its shiny square work in wild encountes? bc it show PID missmatch

PID type discovered for Gen 8. One can't willy nilly edit them.
