Trying to Get a shiny Manaphy from pokemon Ranger in gen 4

[4rine]

Hello, I have been trying to generate a legit shiny manaphy from pokemon ranger but when i turn it shiny, it says wrong PID.

I got my saves from a r4 so i can only mods my save file in these generation.

So How do I get a legit PID with shiny

I just want to clear one thing up first, you cannot generate legit Pokémon. At best you can generate a legal Pokémon.

 

Since you are trying to make a Pokémon for a gen 4 game you need to remember that PID and IVs are linked; therefore, it isn’t as simple as rolling a shiny PID value.  You need RNG Reporter or the new program that’s replaced it in popularity (I can’t remember the programs name) to generate a valued PID/IV combo. In your case Manaphy uses Method 1 to generate the PID and IVs.  You also need to know that the game that picks up the egg can’t be the OT for Manaphy. The egg needs to be traded first so you’ll need to modify the info on the Met tab for how the egg was obtained from Pokémon Ranger to Link Trade (Egg).

It has to be traded (ie. change egg met location to traded).
Manaphy straight from Ranger cannot be shiny. However if the egg was traded to another player that could hatch it shiny (think ESV and TSV), it can be.

So you won't have the change the PID that PKHeX creates for you, just change the egg met location, TID and SID.
