Eggs cannot hatch into Shiny Pokémon on the game they are received in unless they are set to be always Shiny, like the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Year of the Dragon Eggs}}; however, if they are hatched in another game, all hatched event Pokémon can be Shiny.
