and did you use .PID=$shiny0 as a command?

I think i used the other one because it also worked to make poke shiny

but were their PIDs hacked by you, before transfer?

I used batch editing to make them all shiny.

They are all legit pokes.

Before pkhex was updated i attempted to get a square shiny pokemon and even afther over 3 full boxes trying i couldn't but then when i updated suddenly every pokemon got square.

and that's enough info. The PID doesn't change from UM -> SWSH.
The PID doesn't change with transfer process, not by PKHeX, not by HOME.

Nothing changed in HOME or SWSH.

The one thing I gotta to ask is: are the square shinies events?
As I said, fateful encounter shinies are displayed as Square.


Unless, these PIDs were made shiny by PKHeX (before and after the supposed update)?
Tho I don't think they changed the shiny formula...

The pokes were not flagged as fateful encounter so not event pokes.

I'm talking about over 900pokes being square shiny

are you using PKHeX to transfer VC games to gen 8, or just any random games.

As said, PKHeX doesn't change the PID (if the PID already exists. Slight exception: if the mon wasn't shiny in Gen 3/4/5, but it bears a PID that would allow it to morph into a shiny beyond Gen 5. Then again, that "PID change" uses the official game method of flipping a bit).
All in all, PKHeX emulates the transfer as per the games.

So it's probably a coincidence that you're noticing these.
What games were you "transferring" the from?

I'm transfering from Ultra moon. 

The first time i transfered all my pokes were stars. 

Then a while later i updated Pkhex and did a new transfer and suddenly all my pokes got square shiny.

I thought i was just lucky but then i tested many boxes and all were square.

I informed a friend and he also suddenly got square shiny's. 

But now it does not anymore.

Maybe something changed in swsh or HOME itself then i guess.

erm.. what determines square or star is based on PID, so the PID doesn't change upon transfer, so I don't see what that has to do with PKHeX.
(Note: Stuff from GO and fateful encounters are displayed as square in SWSH, also nothing to do with PKHeX)

Some mons can be star, and some can be square. nothing to do with PKHeX..

Weird because it was afther an update of pkhex a while ago suddenly transfered pokes became square when transfered the same for other people i know. Before the update they all got star.

Hi, since a few updates ago pokemons you made with pkhex with the 3ds games automatic got square shiny afther transfering from bank to home. 

Since the last update of pkhex i noticed this is not the case anymore.

All my pokemons i transfered a while ago from bank to home that i made with pkhex all have square shiny. 

But since the last pkhex update this is not the case. Sometimes the pokemons are star shiny instead of square shiny.
