This generation first introduced methods of increasing the Shiny probability above the minimal 1/8192. If a long chain is created with the [[Poké Radar]], the Shiny probability can increase up to as high as 1/200 with a chain of 40 or higher. Additionally, breeding two Pokémon with origins from different language games (dubbed the [[Masuda method]]) multiplies the chance of receiving a Shiny Egg by 5, resulting in a 5/8192 (approximately 1/1638) probability. Intentionally foreign Pokémon traded through [[in-game trade]]s do not trigger the Masuda method, however. | This generation first introduced methods of increasing the Shiny probability above the minimal 1/8192.

This can be caused by being impossible to obtain except through a direct event distribution, or by being programmed so that they cannot be Shiny in the wild (Generation V onward). | ||
