This glitch occurs because when the player captures a Shadow Pokemon, their [[Trainer ID number]] overwrites the [[original Trainer]]'s ID number (unlike with traded Pokémon); because the Trainer ID number is a factor in Shiny calculation, this may cause the Pokemon to acquire (or lose) Shiny status. This is similar to the oddity of a hatched [[Pokémon Egg]] changing from normal to Shiny (or vice versa) if it was traded to another player before hatching. | This glitch occurs because when the player captures a Shadow Pokemon, their [[Trainer ID number]] overwrites the [[original Trainer]]'s ID number (unlike with traded Pokémon); because the Trainer ID number is a factor in Shiny calculation, this may cause the Pokemon to acquire (or lose) Shiny status.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game calculates a [[personality value]] for a Shadow Pokémon, it checks it against the player's and opponent's ID numbers, and if either one would result in a Shiny Pokémon, it generates a new personality value for that Pokémon (repeating if necessary). As a direct result, Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD can never be Shiny (though other Pokemon, such as those appearing in [[Poké Spot]]s, can be). | In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game calculates a [[personality value]] for a Shadow Pokémon, it checks it against the player's and opponent's ID numbers, and if either one would result in a Shiny Pokémon, it generates a new personality value for that Pokémon (repeating if necessary).
