In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while in Generations {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, it occurss afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender and in Generations III and IV as a large star. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black. | ||

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail. | To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games.

Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between {{gen|II}} and Generations {{gen|III}} to {{gen|IV}}. | ||

As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. <!-- This needs to be verified. I thought it was the same as in Generation II.: -->The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a [[Personality_value#Shininess|probability]] of 8 in 65536; simplified as 1/8192 (0.0001220703125% or <br>2<sup>-10</sup>), just as in Generation II. Symbolically: | ||
