Starters can be shiny too. As theSLAYER mentioned, all in-game encounters can be shiny.

You can't fix it. PKHex will always mark it as illegal because the event was never released, so it could never be captured legally.

Gen 3 Pokemon can't be generated dusing PKHex as the PID is tied to IVs, Nature, Abilities etc. Read this guide to help: https://projectpokemon.org/tutorials/save-editing/using-pkhex/pid-mismatch-origin-game-rsefrlg-r94/

Never create Pokemon from scratch, always edit legit Pokemon instead. In this case though, it's an event Pokemon so simply download the file here and drop it into PKHex: Link

PKHeX is for save files, not for ROMS. You'd need to find/export your save file and then load that with PKHex.

This one might cover what you want: http://www.psypokes.com/gsc/dv.php More info about the calculations can be found here: http://www.psypokes.com/gsc/dvguide.php

Gender is derived from the Attack DV and the Gender ratio in Gen 2. Hidden Power is derived from DVs. See details here: https://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/rby_gsc_stats You'll have to play around with the DV values to get the desired Hidden Power and Gender.

Try this one. I used Pokefinder to generate an appropriate PID: 215 ★ - PastelGoth - F8D6B3ADA903.pk4

The steps you're using are correct but I'm unsure what you mean by "default save location". In which folder on your SD card is the save that you're editing?

The met date can be set to virtually anything, as it uses the date on the device doing the transfer. In theory, you could change your 3DS/DS date to any date, and the transfer would pick it up. For that reason, I would think it's very unlikely to be taken into consideration when doing legality checks, but I don't know for certain.

Aside from info potentially being wrong, what's your goal with this Pokemon? Are you trying to add it to a save file? If so, which one?

Who is "they"? It's correct here, on Bulbapedia and on Serebii. I stick to those places for finding out event info, but there are probably other resources too.

This is an event Pokemon. It was distributed with a set OT, TID and SID and they can't be changed without making it illegal. Most (but not all) Mythical Pokemon are from events.

Hi I wondered if I can change my username to umbreon86 please? I've checked and I think it's available.

Hi all Which is the correct method to use when modifying/genning stationary Pokemon in Gen 4? The new PID Mismatch guide says it's Method 1 for all stationary Pokemon but both the old guide and Smogon say it's Method J/K, except for specific Pokemon. Thanks
