Can't make shiny legendaries

[Fatfishblu]

I am trying to make some shiny legendaries (Jirachi, Celebi, the 3 dogs) for a friend of mine since no one has them or wants to trade for them. Here's where I run into trouble using Pokesav. First of all, I am using the compact Platinum English version of Pokesav. I have downloaded several .PKM files and then loaded them under Party Edit. I then go to edit these pokemon to make them shiny (under the Generate button). Then I export to ARDS. When I activate this code in Platinum, the pokemon appear in

my party, but are all level 0 and are "Fainted." Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thanks for the help and advice.

in the edit for the Pokemon, click on pokemon stats edit and click the all max button
