:A stationary screenshot by itself doesn't provide proof. (Credibility of a random imgur pic nothwistanding...) We need to be able to replicate it. I'd also be a bit hesitant given that Wonderguard is a signature ability and Shedinja has a fixed HP value. It could be the exception to the rule, rather than disproving it. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 22:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC) | :A stationary screenshot by itself doesn't provide proof.

I did the regular method by trading the shiny Gyarados to blue version and encountering a wild Ditto which I then captured after it had transformed a second time. I traded both back to crystal and, as expected, both were shiny. While running around near the Goldenrod City daycare, I encountered a wild ditto while I had another Pokemon leading my party. Out of curiosity I decided to switch with my shiny Ditto to see what would happen. Since trainer actions take precedence over attacks in most cases, the wild Ditto automatically got the first chance to attack. Attempting to have my own Ditto use transform failed, and the opponent transformed again. Assuming the trick would not work since the wild Ditto remained pink, I decided to switch again and just fight it. However when the game returned to the battle screen from the party menu, and my Ditto was being recalled, I saw that the wild Ditto was now blue like a shiny one. To be sure it had really worked, I captured it, and when I went to look in my PC it was still shiny. | I did the regular method by trading the shiny Gyarados to blue version and encountering a wild Ditto which I then captured after it had transformed a second time.

Now, this was done on cartriges. I'm not currently able to duplicate this on an emulator due to the trade requirement. I've tried using vbalink, but it seems to only work with the advance games. Are there any other programs that enable trade emulation, or are the only other options save state hacking and using a cheat code to make Gyarados know transform? I'd like to provide proof of this, but considering I've never encountered a wild shiny pokemon over the course of 10 years, I'm going to say the chances of me specifically encountering a legitimate shiny Ditto are next to nil. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 22:26, 8 January 2014 (UTC) | Now, this was done on cartriges.
