Making Shiny Max Lair Legendaries

[Hello, it's me!]

Requesting help from anyone that could make a tutorial/guide or if anyone could show me how to make legal shiny PID's of the max lair legendaries in pkhex

[Omegus]

I made an account just to reply to you. I just kept clicking reroll then the shiny button until a legal PID came up. Hope this helps.

Something interesting about the dynamax adventures legendary pokemon (what I think you are referring to) are the odds. They are pretty broken. The odds are affected by the shiny charm. The odds are;

1/300 w/o charm : 4/300 or 1/75 total chance for a shiny in the raid.

1/100 with charm : 4/100 or 1/25 total chance for a shiny in the raid.

|| Mod edit: I've stuck out the invalid shiny chance. That's not how probability works ||

All pokemon you encounter have their own shiny chance INCLUDING LEGENDARY POKEMON. You do not know the odds until the adventure is over at the take home pokemon screen. NOTE: you only get ONE legendary caught per save.

I grabbed 1 legendary legal,  duplicate, change pokemon and moves, it became legal.

I've been trying to make shiny max lair ultra beasts, I can do so with the normal legendary pokemon, but each time I get the  static encounter shiny mismatch error.  Is that just a current bug in the system that.   I read above and tried shuffling for a working PID, but it was all for not over the course of 10 minutes.  Is that just an issue with the current system where it requires the pkhex to be able to choose the right PID for max lair as the meeting location or is there any other way besides shuffling the PID's?

 

Thank you

I was honestly just going though and was going to make a library of all of the legends and UBs pokemon from the max lair, ive even checked somebody elses files and they are coming up bad as well.  For some reason, the other legends are fine.  I have one ub that looks good now, but the others still have errors.

 

Oh well never mind, I started to get a bunch of them, rerolls just weren't working in my favor I guess.

It's happening with every Legendary and Ultra Beast from the Dynamax Adventures.

Articuno (Kanto), Zapdos (Kanto), Moltres (Kanto), Mewtwo, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Rayquaza, Uzie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran, both forms of Giratina, Cresselia, both forms of Landorus, Kyurem, Zygarde 50% and 10%, Tapu Coco, Tapu Lele, Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu, Ho-oh, Latios, Groudon, Solgaleo, Xerneas, Reshiram, both forms of Tornadus, Dialga, Palkia, both forms of Thunderus, Zekrom, Yveltal, Lunala, Kyogre, Latias, Lugia, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Celesteela, Kartana, Guzzlord, Necrozma, Stakataka and Blacephalon.

I load it in from the encounter database, so it's all legal then. Soon as I hit the shiny button it becomes illegal and tells me 'Invalid: Static Encounter shiny mismatch.'

To you and whoever is having an issue comprehending how the game registers the shiny legendaries let me try and clarify a bit. For starters, lets talk about the PID. On the very first screen of PKHex, there is an option to create the pokemon Shiny and next to that is the pokemons PID. To the right of the PID, is an option to reroll the PID. The game only allows the dynamax adventure Legendary pokemon to be forced shiny with a value of XOR = 1. So what you have to do is keep rerolling the Shiny PID until you have a XOR = 1 value. I should also note, they must be Star Shiny, not the Square shiny.

Example:

Xor = 6 Value flagged as incorrect

Xor = 1 Value is the only one the game accepts.

[theSLAYER]

also note the image I showed above. It teaches you how to get xor=1 without having to do multiple rerolls.

[Smithers]

Thanks guys, I had never encountered this before so didn't know that it wasn't an issue with PKHeX and I've been doing this for over 7 months haha. The Xor part of the PID is new to me. I had tried multiple rerolls without any luck. Got it working now, thank you.

Do they appear star shiny in the game once they're set to star shiny? I'm wondering if the square shinies that were transferred from previous gens are rarer than these star shinies. 

[MidstOfExile]

Every time I change the last letter or number and it accepts it (Square) and then I drag it to the box, it goes back to normal.

they can only be star, and they appear as star.

did you not set the mon into a box

That's probably why. Is because I'm hunting the Square shiny.

xor=1 is star.
only xor=0 is square...

[MidstOfExile]

Just now, theSLAYER said:

xor=1 is star.
only xor=0 is square...

Which then XOR 0 is a Static Shiny Mismatch.

because the lair only generates xor=1 in the code. Any other shiny xors are illegal.

i dont understand anything here as a normal user......

Control + Click on the Shiny button of a PID of a Max Lair mon.
