Due to this, if you find a useful spread (in terms of IVs, etc.) with a shiny value of someone you can contact then you can keep breeding eggs for this person to hatch shiny for you. If you meet the Static PID criteria (above), then if you use Powersaves to backup a spread which is shiny for you (or gives the egg a Shiny Value of someone who is willing to hatch for you) then each time you change parents (supposing you are using the same spread utilising Powersaves save restoration) then the Shiny Value of the offspring will stay the same. Using Pokémon Bank it is possible to bring in the necessary parents for a breed to any given spread (even if you breed them later, or indeed breed them using the spread). Due to this, if one was to backup the save before the daycare man had the egg available for collection/rejection, then upon restoring the save the next egg would follow the same spread. If however you are familiar with Powersaves, then this method can be used in conjunction with it.Īs was discussed in the Introduction, the random number which determines the next spread is saved to the save file. If you are unfamiliar with the term Powersaves, kindly ignore this section, I am not planning to explain it in detail here. If you meet the (somewhat less stringent) requirements for this method however, once you have found a spread which gives you the desired offspring you can soft-reset for shininess.Įach time you collect the egg from the daycare man, the PID will be generated using the Game Seed (random) rather than the Egg Seed (saved to the save-file).ĭue to this, once you have switched in the final parents you may cycle until the daycare man has the egg available, save infront of him, and repeatedly collect, hatch, reset (if not shiny) until you get your desired shiny. Note: if you already have the Shiny Charm on your save, then you cannot use this method. If you are happy to continually reset a spread for shininess, then one must satisfy both: (i) not have the Shiny Charm on their game (ii) not use Masuda Method parents as their final parents.

If the test offspring did not hatch shiny, neither will the final offspring. Due to this, if the test offspring hatched shiny for you, so too will the final offspring. If however you meet the requirements then the PID of the test offspring will be the same as the PID of the final offspring. If you have the Shiny Charm and use non-Masuda Method test parents, but switch to Masuda Method parents for the final breed, the PID is not static. Note: this is not a mix and match arrangement. If you wish to determine whether a spread is shiny based on the test offspring, then one must satisfy one of: (i) have obtained the Shiny Charm on their game (ii) be using Masuda Method test parents, and switch to Masuda Method parents for the final breed (iii) have met both (i) and (ii)'s criteria.

Shininess is determined by the specific combination of the OT's ID (TID), the OT's Secret ID (SID hidden from view in-game) and the Pokémon's Pokémon ID (PID again hidden from view in-game).įor the computationally minded (or interested) reader the formula is:
