A pokemon is shiny in gens 3-5 iff: ((PID >> 16) ^ (PID & 0xFFFF) ^ TID ^ SID) < 8 And for gens 6+ iff: ((PID >> 16) ^ (PID & 0xFFFF) ^ TID ^ SID) < 16 Since shinyness (or lack thereof) is retained from gen 5 to gen 6, I assumed that the games use the old formula for pokemon originating from older games. However, just to test it, I made a .pk3 with TID = SID = 0 and PID = 0xF. In gen 3-5 this should be non-shiny but in gens 6+ it should be shiny (had it originated from those gens). But when I converted the .pk3 to .pk6 the PID was automatically changed from 0x0000000F to 0x8000000F. This has it retain its non-shinyness but at the cost of changing its PID. This behavior is supposed to model what happens in bank, right? Does that mean bank actually modifies PIDs across gen 5-gen 6? Is there a formula for this? Does it just reroll until it gets a valid PID?

I was unsure if this was the right place to post this question so I'm sorry in advance if this is not the right place. I see people on Ebay and various people online who are selling shiny locked legendary such as Zacian, Zamazenta, and Eternatus etc along with full dex but transferring them via a move as if they were coming from pokemon bank. How does this work and how are they doing it? I been trying to figure out how to transfer generations 1 though 8 to home all at once and can't seem to figure out how this is possible. Any help?

Hi, so today thanks to Nintendo HK we got the first informations about Pokemon Bank update and you know what? News are bad, really. Our Gen1 Pokemon when transfer will get their Nature randomized, IV too apparently, but they can have Hidden Ability (if Machamp is just HA players will cry) and got a Gameboy Mark. There is also a lot of improvements for the Pokedex and that's a good but useless news. Sources: NintendoHK, Serebii.
