In Generation II, Shininess is determined by the {{IV}}s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a Shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its Shininess. Despite the bonus of backward compatibility allowing for a Shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, Shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.
