In {{g|Colosseum}}, like in the main series games, there is a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny; however, when a Shiny Shadow Pokémon is captured, it is highly improbable that the Pokémon will retain Shininess. Conversely, when an ordinary Shadow Pokémon is captured, there is still the 1/8192 chance of that Pokémon becoming Shiny when it is sent to the player's party or the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. Shininess is retained through [[purification]]. | In {{g|Colosseum}}, like in the main series games, there is a 1/8192 chance of a Shadow Pokémon being Shiny; however, when a Shiny Shadow Pokémon is captured, it is highly improbable that the Pokémon will retain Shininess.

However, in {{Pokémon XD}}, this glitch was corrected. When the game calculates a personality value, it checks against the player's ID numbers and the opponent's ID numbers.

When the game calculates a personality value, it checks against the player's ID numbers and the opponent's ID numbers. If the game were to generate a Shiny personality value, it would then recalculate the personality value until it would not be Shiny with either the player's or the opponent's ID numbers. As a consequence of fixing this glitch from {{g|Colosseum}} in {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are never Shiny. This defeats the still-popular rumor that Shadow Pokémon can be shiny after [[purification]]; all of these values are determined when they are encountered for the first time and are not linked to purification in any way. <!--Confirmed by ΩDonut on Smogon--> | ||
