* Due to the fact that Shininess in Generation III onwards is determined by the OT's ID and Secret ID, and to the fact that Eggs take the ID/SID of their hatcher when hatched, Eggs can be Shiny on the game that breeds them, but not on a game they are traded to (or vice-versa) if still in their Eggs. The OT of the Egg is not changed until after it hatches, which can lead to scenarios where an Egg will hatch and appear Shiny, but will not be Shiny when actually checked (or vice-versa), as the ID/SID changes immediately after the hatching scene.

** This is also why many event Eggs can hatch Shiny when they would normally be prohibited from doing so on the original receiver's game.
