Shiny Pokémon: Difference between revisions

I know there was a detailed post somewhere on the Project Pokemon Forums covering this, but I can't find it anymore...
(This section is getting cluttered; the Trivia section already covers this nicely. Otherwise you might as well add stuff like "A Pokémon with a Hidden Power type other than Grass or Dragon", and so on.)

* {{p|Celebi}}<ref group="note" name=Celebi>Celebi was available outside event distributions via the Japanese [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]]. This produced two types of Celebi: one that was sent directly to the Pokémon Colosseum save file, and one that was sent directly to a GBA game. While it has been found that the one sent to the Colosseum save file can never be Shiny, there is no conclusive evidence about the potential for the other Celebi to be Shiny. However, it is considered likely that the Celebi that can be sent directly to the GBA games is produced in the same way as the one sent to Colosseum and therefore cannot be Shiny. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the only possible way for Celebi to be Shiny is if this Celebi can be Shiny, and is sent via [[Pal Park]] (and the [[Poké Transfer]] in Generation V).</ref>
* {{p|Celebi}}<ref group="note" name=Celebi>As with almost all event distributions, an event distribution Celebi cannot be Shiny. The only other way to obtain a Celebi in any of Generations III-IV is through the Japanese [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], which also blocks Shininess. The reason that the Bonus Disc Jirachi can be Shiny while the Celebi cannot is because Jirachi's data is generated on the GBA that it is sent to, while Celebi's data is generated on the GameCube.{{fact}}</ref>
