In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained as Shiny. These Pokémon are commonly referred to as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Shiny-locked}}. This can happen if the Pokémon is coded not to appear as Shiny in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, or via in-game {{pkmn2|gift}}s, [[in-game trades]], [[breeding]], or has never been distributed as Shiny via {{pkmn2|event}}s.

However, with the exception of [[Pikachu in a cap]], the {{ga|Partner Pokémon|Partner}} {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Magearna}} (Magearna's standard form is missing its Shiny form in [[Generation VII]] only), all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code, regardless of their availability.
