Mystery Gift: Difference between revisions
→Trivia: 0x37 is the toggle flag; unedited wiki text insinuated that the shiny check no longer exists in Gen V (which is wrong). There's just a flag to tell the game not to shiny check; however it's VERY rarely enabled.
(It's because I changed the number of sections) |

* Not only was the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}} the first item to be released via a Wi-Fi event, but it was also the first to allow sharing or ''obtaining from friends'' (although sharing is only available with the Japanese version). | * Not only was the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Secret Key}} the first item to be released via a Wi-Fi event, but it was also the first to allow sharing or ''obtaining from friends'' (although sharing is only available with the Japanese version). | ||
* It is impossible to get a {{Shiny}} Mystery Gift Pokémon, unless it is always Shiny, like the [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2009#Shokotan Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]. Eggs cannot hatch Shiny on the game they are received in unless always Shiny, like the {{DL|List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012|Year of the Dragon Eggs}}; however, if they are hatched in another game, all hatched event Pokémon can be Shiny. This is because in the game's coding, there is a Shiny check function which prevents Mystery Gift from being Shiny by regenerating a new PID until the Pokémon isn't Shiny. | * It is impossible to get a {{Shiny}} Mystery Gift Pokémon, unless it is always Shiny, like the [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2009#Shokotan Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]].

** However this isn't true in [[Generation V]], since [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Super Strong Pokémon Present Campaign|multiple]] [[List of PAL Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Germany Pokémon Day Pikachu|events]] [[List of Korean Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Summer Carnival Pikachu|have]] been released that | ** However this isn't always true in [[Generation V]], since [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Super Strong Pokémon Present Campaign|multiple]] [[List of PAL Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Germany Pokémon Day Pikachu|events]] [[List of Korean Nintendo event Pokémon in 2012#Summer Carnival Pikachu|have]] been released that can be Shiny. The odds are still the same as encountering a Shiny wild Pokémon (1/8192). If the Wonder Card data has a special flag enabled the game will keep a Shiny PID instead of altering it.
