Question: Can I see shiny Pokemon inside eggs? [Generation 5]

[Lutupo]

Hi,

I am currently shiny hunting Tepig in White 2 and to save some time I check if the Tepig is shiny via PKHex rather than hatching them. I know that the Pokemon is determinated when the egg is generated, but I am currently well over odds and am questioning, if Pokemon are not displayed as shiny in PKHex whilest in a egg.

I would be very grateful if some one could share some information about my problem.

Pokémon are shiny based on the PID and OT IDs they have.

You can always test this by just making a shiny egg and setting it to the box; PKHeX displays the star just the same as it were hatched.

OK thank you for the quick and helpful response!
