Pokémon that are transferred from [[Generation I]] games may also be Shiny, depending on their IVs. Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in those games in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs, so they always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild DVs]</ref>

Additionally, in Generation I, if a wild Pokémon {{m|transform}}s again while already transformed, when caught it will be a {{p|Ditto}} with the same IVs as the first Pokémon it transformed into, allowing Ditto's IVs to be [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ditto DV manipulation|manipulated]] so that it is Shiny in Generation II by having it initially transform into a Pokémon with Shiny IVs.
