→Generation V
| Line 303: | Line 303: | ||
In this generation, Mystery Gift can be used to transfer Pokémon from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] or receive items and Pokémon from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, from the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] or from a friend. The Mystery Gift feature will only allow a specific gift to be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from the said games and also only one of Pokémon from the Events. Gifts are sent with a Wonder Card, which players can store up to three of. This is why players should choose to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift. | In this generation, Mystery Gift can be used to transfer Pokémon from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] or receive items and Pokémon from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

== | ==Trivia== | ||
* Not only was the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}} the first item to be released via a Wi-Fi event, but it was also the first to allow sharing or ''obtaining from friends'' (although sharing is only available with the Japanese version). | |||
* It is impossible to get a {{Shiny}} Mystery Gift Pokémon, unless it is always Shiny, like the [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2009#Shokotan Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]. Eggs cannot hatch Shiny on the game they are received in unless always Shiny, like the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|Year of the Dragon Eggs}}; however, if they are hatched in another game, all hatched event Pokémon can be Shiny. This is because in the game's coding, there is a Shiny check function which prevents Mystery Gift from being Shiny by regenerating a new PID until the Pokémon isn't Shiny. | |||
** However this isn't true in [[Generation V]], since [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Super Strong Pokémon Present Campaign|multiple]] [[List of PAL Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Germany Pokémon Day Pikachu|events]] [[List of Korean Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Summer Carnival Pikachu|have]] been released that weren't supposed to be Shiny. | |||
