Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Due to Shininess being determined by IVs, certain oddities arise in other things that are also determined by IVs in Generation II:

In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]] cannot be Shiny. (Including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Phione}}, which despite having variable [[personality value]]s, they both use the {{DL|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|Alternative pseudorandom number generator (ARNG)|antishiny ARNG}} generation method which prevents them from being Shiny, the same way as Type 1 [[Wonder Card]] Pokémon and {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}'s {{p|Manaphy}} Egg.)
