Slowly dying website? I beg to differ. Had you asked for someone to send you one, it might been easier especially since I do have a legit drowsee that you can evolve. Thread closed.

Start a Japanese Emerald game... AR in a old sea map. Save the game, restart the game. Catch mew with a master ball and check the PID. Change the TID/SID to match the PID. Start the game again, catch mew with a master ball. See if it comes out shiny.

It wasn't until gen 4 that Nintendo put shiny checks into events according to all of the evidence I have. I simply stated that it could not be shiny because Leisik (or however you spell his name) said that they couldn't. However since hes NOT a part of the Pokemon Development team, he REALLY doesn't know the inside workings. We can test this if someone wants to ask him if WSHMKR jirachi can be shiny lol. Hopefully he doesn't google the answer and find our research EDIT: We now know that the GC RNG for Celebi has a shiny check. Also the RNG for WishMkr has a shiny check, but it was never used.

From what we can see of the results of our jirachi findings, its easy to theorize that other events can be shiny as well. I asked many people (yamipoli, loadingNOW, gold ursaring, etc) why the B-A-C-D uses a restricted seed. Nobody knew, and now the discovery that its checksum base makes alot of sense. Checksums are ALWAYS different. Something as small as receiving a mystery gift, placing a pokemon, moving, etc.. will change the checksums in various areas. Each event probably pulled from one or more checksums (there are 8 for the primary save, and 8 for the secondary save). Once you get the pokemon and came back to the machine, your checksum would be different, producing a different Pokemon. What is the likelihood of a LEGIT shiny event poke existing... probably close to zero. Is it technically possible... now we know it is. With that said, that is why I put "Shiny Notification" so that people who are using legality checker to check for events are notified that most likely a shiny pokemon that is legit does NOT exist. I would also expand this to include MYSTRY mew, since technically the origination seeds for all of the pokemon events COULD HAVE produced a shiny. Again its VERY VERY unlikely. There might have been ONE shiny mew buried in ALL of the cartridges.

The same method for Jirachi was most likely used for other events such as 10 anniv, etc... I suppose its possible those could theoretically be shiny. MYSTRY mew can theoretically be shiny too, but there were none distributed...

OmegaDonut has already done that and as everyone suspected, it is TIME BASED.

We already established that Nintendo screwed up and is acknowledging both as Legit. Why does EVERYONE have to ask him... I feel bad for the guy now. He probably has 800 emails a week dedicated to this one question. And honestly he doesn't even answer it properly because hes not thinking of it like us. Hes trying to tell everyone that its the SAME event and you cannot have BOTH. Hes not even thinking about whether people are asking if the gamestop one is legit or not BECAUSE IT IS.

Thanks to Kaphotics, OmegaDonut and others who have done great research into WISHMKR jirachi. We are ready for the moment of truth. I have a SAVE file which I have constructed in such a brilliant way that it will generate a shiny jirachi when one is received. I urge EVERYONE to try this and get back to me on whether they got one. I don't have a link cable so I cannot test this The seeds should be: Shiny - 353D NonShiny - 353E I would also like to thank loadingNOW for his research into the GBA games.

The egg events CAN be shiny. It was very easy to test that. We imported a PCJP2004 or WISH egg into a gba game that had an A-B-D-E PID which was shiny. Kaphotics did the honors of hatching it, and it did come out shiny. Regarding it ONLY being A-B-D-E ~ Recall Unowns being B-A-C-D, and fishing pokes being A-C-D-E. It seems the GBA games are all over the place. It MIGHT be possible that very few of them are A-B-D-F or A-B-E-F, ONLY IF the pokemon is generated on the game itself. Since I have no evidence either way, and every confirmed WISH/PCJP 2004 poke I have is A-B-D-E... I will hold out on "expanded" support. Regarding events which CANNOT be shiny. ALL B-A-C-D restricted (GCR) events will have a shiny notification. And finally, if there is headway towards how GCN or PCNYa|b|c|d are generated, I would love to see it.

Please respond with comments/questions to the stickied features thread.

I am actively working on B55. Here is a comprehensive list of new features that will be included: Full Platinum Trash Bytes. Full Heart Gold / Soul Silver Trash Bytes. Missing Gen 4 events. Obedience checks for specific Pal Parked Events. Origination Seeds for specific Pal Parked Events (GCU will NO LONGER exist). Shiny notification for specific Pal Parked Events. Pokeball Check (based on acquisition). Shiny Leaves Check. Location Met Check. Evolution named Trash Byte overwrite checks. Smart Gen 3 Acquisition Checking (Hatched vs Hacked). Met Level Check (based on Encounter method). Byte 85 (Encounter Type) Check. Link Trade Met Location support for specific Static Pokes/Events. Nickname Checks for cross-region Pal Parks. Smart Move Checks (based on encounter method). Working Sync Checks. Heart Gold/Soul Silver Sync Checks. Significantly faster at determining algorithms on slower machines. Hatched 3rd Gen Event Support. Pokewalker PIDs / Species / Gender / Level / Language Checks - Thanks to Wichu, Wildeep, and Serebii for this info. Trash Byte Slot # (1 or 2-6) & Pal Park Trash Set Bytes will be listed. Non-Trash byte (4th gen) rename checks. Grass Tile & Encounter Checks for both 3rd gen and 4th gen. Which of the following 3rd Gen events will be effected? WSHMKR Jirachi (Shiny notification) Ageto Celebi (Shiny notification) All restricted B-A-C-D (Common Event Restricted) (Shiny Notification) Negai Boshi Jirachi - Origination Seed Check (Shiny Notification) PC Japan 2003 (ALL) - Origination Seed Check (Shiny Notification) PC Japan 2004 - Obedience Flag Check / Limited to Uncommon GBA (Shiny Notification) MYSTRY Mew - Origination Seed Check (Shiny Notification) PC New York 2004 (WISH) - Obedience Flag Check / Limited to Uncommon GBA PokeBox - Origination Seed Check Ticket Events (Faraway Mew, etc) - Obedience Flag Check (as applies) - Limited by Country of Origination. After the internal functionality is completed, I will work on a beautiful interface version YOU SHOULD STILL CHECK FOR THE OBVIOUS! CHECK THE OTNAME, OT GENDER, etc. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT EACH EVENT SHOULD BE, ASK ON THE FORUMS!

The best thing to do is to load the WIN2011 Celebi PCD file into pokesav for mystery gift, and then receive it.... it will appear legit that way.

One does not exist. You will need to install windows to use it.

I could, but I would have to pay quite a bit to get it on the app store.... so unless you know how to add apps to your phone without using the app store, then its unlikely.

GU got back to me with his WISH pokes and their PID/IVs. They all conform to A-B-D-E. According to GU these are generated from a mystery gift. Whether its part of the mystery gift or generated in-game remains unknown at this time.

Its 100% regarding WSHMKR jirachi and Ageto. Regarding the eggs, the information has been adjusted/fixed and is on the main thread.

I did the same search and you are correct, thank you for that information! Keep in mind that its still a 8 in 4 billion chance to trade the egg to someone that would produce a shiny. For collectors who want strictly legit pokes, its a safe bet to stay away from any shiny egg event pokes. What this means though is that you can RNG abuse a set of TID/SID to correspond with the event pokemon egg's PID.... depending on how strict your view is on legitness of a pokemon, using these abuses would make the shiny non-legit. I forgot to mention... to date not many people (if any) have gone through the torture of creating an rng program to abuse TID/SID for gba games. So the likelihood of an actual shiny event poke is 0.0000001863%. If you take into consideration the availability of someone to abuse TID/SID's... its just about zero.

According to GU its a mystery gift event that you pick up from the pokemon center. GU also said hes traveling and will provide information for confirmation once he is back. With this information we can determine if the game creates the PID/IVs post-acquisition, or pre-acquisition by looking at how the GBA mystery gifts work.

Thank you pkmz. I went over the GBA save file and they are all A-B-D-E. I hope to hear from others because I am inclined to believe that A-B-C-D and the B-A- series were not used. What gets me is why they use that algorithm... its inconsistent with everything else released.

You don't get WSHMKR from the mystery gift guy. It must be palparked from a GBA game where you received it from the pokemon bonus disc on your game cube.

Personally, I don't consider changing the DS date to the proper date of that distribution in order to distribute the celebi to be a problem. And Nintendo doesn't either.

I believe pokepark (aka PCJP 2005?) are all GCR. Thank you for the information and when I get time I will look over the PCJP 2004.

Pkmz, im sorry for exposing that particular pokemon you sent me, but I used that as an example of how a legit pokemon could be used in a way that produces hacks, and/or screws up research. In this case the egg was "hatched" by multiple people, or possibly cloned. Any and all pokemon sent would be great. The name dark dragonite sounds familiar...
