* 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. | * 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.

** Due to {{p|Unown}}'s letter being determined by IVs in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be Shiny. | |||
** Due to {{m|Hidden Power}} being determined by IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 50 or 70. | |||
