In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual | In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[individual values]] (IVs) of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs. | ||
Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon. | Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192.
