In Generation II, Shininess is determined by the {{IV}}s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Using IVs instead of some other value to determine Shininess allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a Shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its Shininess. | In Generation II, Shininess is determined by the {{IV}}s of a Pokémon.

Due to the HP IV being determined by the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly. | Due to the HP IV being determined by the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be either 0 or 8.
