Except when IVs are influenced due to {{pkmn|breeding}}, this set of IVs has a 1/8192 chance of occurring, which is also the likelihood of a wild Pokémon being Shiny in Generation III, IV, and V. Due to HP IV being calculated from the other IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be 0 (if the Attack IV is even) or 8 (if the Attack IV is odd). The [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], which is guaranteed to be Shiny, is forced by the game to have IVs that allow it to be Shiny.

The [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]], which is guaranteed to be Shiny, has a special flag set by the game to have predetermined IVs, with an Attack IV of 14 and all other stats being 10, except HP which is 0.


Since 0 and 1 are not possible Attack IVs for a Shiny Pokémon, female Pokémon of {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a seven male to one female ratio}} can never be Shiny in Generation II.
