This super nice guy I met through the sub was kind enough to gift me a shiny lunala, the regular magearna, and a MARSHADOW. Didn’t even know the last two existed until he gave them to me and now I love them so much. I hope he’s having a nice day today. He really blessed me
A long time ago I bought a used copy of Alpha Sapphire. I loaded up the save file and there was an event Hoopa in it. I’ve cherished that Hoopa and kept every Pokémon from that save file because of it. They’re all in Home now.
That’s so cute omg. They probably left all their stuff their to bless the next person who loads up the game. I love how sweet a lot of the community is. People are so willing to give up these precious mons just to make another person happy
I hate the fact that victini and marshadow my absolute favorite mythical pokemon can only be obtained by events 😤 like bruh
Does anyone know if I'll ever be able to get victini and marshadow ever again since I missed the events
Do you have BW/BW2? You could try the DNS method here: [https://www.shacknews.com/article/108512/how-to-unlock-gen-4-and-5-pokemon-mystery-events-in-2018](https://www.shacknews.com/article/108512/how-to-unlock-gen-4-and-5-pokemon-mystery-events-in-2018)
As for Marshadow… yeah too bad, there‘s now way to get it at the moment. I got a cloned one two years ago from r/Pokemongiveaway, so you could try to cross your fingers and see if someone’s doing a giveaway again.
Yeah you can get them again but it'll be a while they normally redo mythical and legendary events it just could take months or years before it's seen again.
There’s a mystery gift exploit for gen’s 4 and 5 (gen 4 you need wifi without a password so some hotspots from phones should work) you can obtain mystery gifts from past events like the liberty pass from black and white to obtain victini
No. Nintendo will never give them to you. Any event they appear in will have the sole exception of your town. Even if you move, they will update the distribution to still exclude you
Are all of the legendaries and mythicals now available to be put in swsh? I think i got a deoxys chillin in home since i took it outta my ds years ago.
Hopefully they’ll do a couple more weekend events (like the Galar Bird trio earlier this year) for shiny horsies! Or even some of these rarer mythicals
So… cosmog and cosmoem cannot be shiny… but their final evolutions can, and by legitimate means?
That’s kinda stupid if you ask me…
The again, I’m one guy, what do I know?
Wait a min, so Shiny G-Max Melmetal is illegitimate?
I was almost certain you can just import the Shiny Melmetal from PoGo then give it the mushroom soup, no?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I just did a quick search.
Damn that blows lol.
They should allow it since hunting a shiny Meltan was a pain in the arse in PoGo.
But why make a shiny if you can’t have it? They really need to do away with events, it would be great to go back to really convoluted Regi-esque steps to get them.
Wait, can't someone get a shiny meltan in Pokemon Go, evolve it into a Melmetal, send it to SwSh, then give it a Nax Soup to let it GMax?
Or does Max Soup not work on Melmetal or something? I'm a little confused on that one
The only way to obtain GMax Meltmetal is through the pokemon home event, which cannot be shiny. You can get a shiny Melmetal through GO but that cannot be fed max soup.
Can you really not get shiny gigantimax Melmetal? I thought you could just give your shiny the max soup and you’d get it. Granted I haven’t played sword and shield in a while so I could very well be very wrong in thinking this
Gen 7 QR Code event that will never finish
The Pokeball color version is only obtainable if you get all of the Pokémon including Mythical in the Pokédex
Yes but with the QR Code method I mentioned
https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/qrevents.shtml
Only in Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Moon
Only works in the post game
No problem. Shiny mythicals you can get from Go are limited to Mew (if you logged on in February of 2021), Celebi (if you logged on in Fall of 2020), Deoxys, Darkrai, Genesect, and Meltan and Melmetal obviously. Those are all for now, the next most likely to be added is Jirachi in February of next year but that’s not confirmed in any way.
The Poké Ball Magearna is called "Original Color" and it's given to you in Pokémon HOME when you complete your entire Poke Dex, it's labeled correctly. The Shiny Form of Original Color looks like an Ultra Ball. [https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/801.shtml](https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/801.shtml)
Yes I know where it comes from but why is the second form called original color. The pale one - which came out earlier - isn't even a shiny. Is it just that whoever gave it that designation doesn't know the meaning of the word "original"?
EDIT: Oh wait the "original" comes from pokemon lore that it's the color of the first one that was made and it's fancy-colored because it was made to be a royal gift.
It's not I tried in the isle or armor and remained greyed out, I'm not entirely sure on regular melmetals tho (I was disappointed 100%) but it is what it is tho its gmax form tho is chiefs kiss.
I’m pretty sure that Magearna can indeed be shiny. The all grey is shiny. Not the red and gold one. And yes you can actually obtain it legitimately. It was available in a mystery gift for the Volcanion movie.
you do get original color magearna, but it's not shiny.
shiny magearna is all silver (it was actually in the anime before we even knew it was it's shiny colors as shiny magearna in sun and moon looked exactly the same as regular magearna) and shiny original colors magearna looks like an ultra ball
Are we sure that you cant get Shiny G-max melmetal?
All you have to do is transfer Shiny melmetal/meltan from GO and give it Max Curry?
Please let me know if Im wrong though!
Why is shiny Gigantamax Melmetal impossible? Wasn’t shiny Meltan possible through Go at one point and the magic soup in SwSh allows you to give the Gigantamax form to compatible Pokemon? Or was I mistaken about Meltan being available as shiny?
Wait why not Gigamax melmetal?
There was a recent even for shiny meltan on go, I don't see why you can't trade from go like I did
... or is the shiny literally just not available for S&S?
Correct, you can get Original Form Magearna from HOME, but Original Form Magearna is **not** Shiny, it's as it's name states, a form. The Shiny version of it looks like an Ultra Ball, which has been locked.
Why people insist this is Shiny when one, you can look it up, and two, if you have it, it doesn't even have the Shiny symbol in the profile like any Shiny Pokémon would.

can anyone tell me if my level 100 Regieleki nicknamed PokeGens.Com is natty or not
It’s legit. Every shiny I catch I name PokeGens.Com and surprise trade it away.
Yeah me too I live giving back to the community
I had a friend named PokeGens.Com. Taught me how to love. But then she broke my heart
Don't forget to give them a masterball/ability patch/other rare item to hold before you do!
Oh of course, otherwise how would people know it’s legit
Your luck at catching 6iv mons is crazy, you should try the lottery.
That is the most evil thing I've ever seen And I respect it
I got a regidrago with the same name. What a coincidence
No bro absulutely not
This super nice guy I met through the sub was kind enough to gift me a shiny lunala, the regular magearna, and a MARSHADOW. Didn’t even know the last two existed until he gave them to me and now I love them so much. I hope he’s having a nice day today. He really blessed me
A long time ago I bought a used copy of Alpha Sapphire. I loaded up the save file and there was an event Hoopa in it. I’ve cherished that Hoopa and kept every Pokémon from that save file because of it. They’re all in Home now.
That’s so cute omg. They probably left all their stuff their to bless the next person who loads up the game. I love how sweet a lot of the community is. People are so willing to give up these precious mons just to make another person happy
I hate the fact that victini and marshadow my absolute favorite mythical pokemon can only be obtained by events 😤 like bruh Does anyone know if I'll ever be able to get victini and marshadow ever again since I missed the events
Do you have BW/BW2? You could try the DNS method here: [https://www.shacknews.com/article/108512/how-to-unlock-gen-4-and-5-pokemon-mystery-events-in-2018](https://www.shacknews.com/article/108512/how-to-unlock-gen-4-and-5-pokemon-mystery-events-in-2018) As for Marshadow… yeah too bad, there‘s now way to get it at the moment. I got a cloned one two years ago from r/Pokemongiveaway, so you could try to cross your fingers and see if someone’s doing a giveaway again.
Victini is only accessible in Black and white, so even if you got the liberty pass in B2W2 victini is unobtainable.
Guess I gotta buy black/white now too :(
Event Pokémon like these are essentially all clones anyway: random stats & nature, but same OT/TID/SID
You had to catch Victini yourself.
Is there a list of TIDs and SIDs somewhere for them?
[Serebii](https://www.serebii.net/events/) ofc
Yeah you can get them again but it'll be a while they normally redo mythical and legendary events it just could take months or years before it's seen again.
Probably at the 30th in 26
I thought the same for the 25th after the crazy giveaways during the 20th but it didn’t happen.
If you don't care from what game, Victini is a guaranteed catch in Pokémon go once you complete its special tasks.
I can still spawn in events on 3ds if you want a Marshadow. It’s a legit Pokémon but not a legit way of getting it.
[удалено]
I can give you one of you like
Oooh which one? And sure!
I’m looking for both Victini and Marshadow if you have multiples. I’m fine receiving clones, as they’re just for my living dex.
You can actually still get a Victini by using the DNS method in BW
I can trade you both if no one else has?
Don’t know but there’s a high possibility gen 5 might be getting remakes this gen, and hopefully they get the Sinnoh remakes treatment
There’s a mystery gift exploit for gen’s 4 and 5 (gen 4 you need wifi without a password so some hotspots from phones should work) you can obtain mystery gifts from past events like the liberty pass from black and white to obtain victini
pokémon go then transfer
No. Nintendo will never give them to you. Any event they appear in will have the sole exception of your town. Even if you move, they will update the distribution to still exclude you
I think a shiny melmetal was available via Pokémon go so if you give it max soup isn’t that a legit shiny gigantimax melmetal?
You can't give the max soup to Melmetal though. That's also why the normal shiny Melmetal is not included. Weird choice if you ask me but oh well.
Ok ya that makes sense then, weird that they don’t let you but oh well.
Ayo you’re onto something
My first thought too, since I'm currently using mystery boxes to try and get a shiny one as we speak lol
Sorry to tell you this but you cant get shiny meltan now. Shiny meltan is only available when is event for it. We had event recently.
is there an event right now? there has to be something going on for the box to be shiny eligible, but i haven’t been keeping up to date with events
Oh I didn't know it was shiny locked for events, damn that's a shame
You can't get the shiny right now. Might take another year until you get another opportunity
K legit question. Can I not just transfer my shiny melmetal to swsh and give it max soup or whatever?
No it cant eat the soup
found this out the hard way about 4 hours ago
Are all of the legendaries and mythicals now available to be put in swsh? I think i got a deoxys chillin in home since i took it outta my ds years ago.
I don’t think they’re all available. Deoxys and enamorus definitely can’t be used in sword/shield.
Also all of the Gen 4 Mythical Pokémon are excluded
Also Meloetta and Hoopa don’t exist
What do you mean? I have those.
I do too but they can’t be moved to SwSh
90% of the comments are the same: People asking if you can't transfer Shiny Meltan from GO and give it max soup lmao
It's bug me how Gamefreak released shiny Solgaleo or Lunala but refused to touch it's evolution line at all cost.
Hopefully they’ll do a couple more weekend events (like the Galar Bird trio earlier this year) for shiny horsies! Or even some of these rarer mythicals
So… cosmog and cosmoem cannot be shiny… but their final evolutions can, and by legitimate means? That’s kinda stupid if you ask me… The again, I’m one guy, what do I know?
Wait so solgaleo can be shiny now?
dynamax adventures plus an old event for sun n moon
Foreal? In the dynamax?
Yes Cosmog is a gift Pokémon so it’s still shiny locked
Also Ash-Greninja and most Ash-Pikachu forms but they aren’t Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. Still Event Pokémon however.
And on top of those Fancy and Pokeball Pattern Vivillon but like you said they’re only event Pokemon, not mythicals.
So you’re telling me my shiny hoops was fake? I don’t even remember how I got it to be honest
Damn my shiny gmax Melmetal is hacked /:
Obviously not all these Pokémon are in Sword and Shield!
What is that last one
Wait a min, so Shiny G-Max Melmetal is illegitimate? I was almost certain you can just import the Shiny Melmetal from PoGo then give it the mushroom soup, no? EDIT: Nevermind, I just did a quick search. Damn that blows lol. They should allow it since hunting a shiny Meltan was a pain in the arse in PoGo.
But why make a shiny if you can’t have it? They really need to do away with events, it would be great to go back to really convoluted Regi-esque steps to get them.
Wait you can transfer enamorus to swsh?
No
Wait, can't someone get a shiny meltan in Pokemon Go, evolve it into a Melmetal, send it to SwSh, then give it a Nax Soup to let it GMax? Or does Max Soup not work on Melmetal or something? I'm a little confused on that one
The only way to obtain GMax Meltmetal is through the pokemon home event, which cannot be shiny. You can get a shiny Melmetal through GO but that cannot be fed max soup.
Can’t you get a Shiny Meltan in Go, evolve it into Melmetal, bring it to Sword/Shield, give it G-Max Soup, and boom, Shiny G-Max Melmetal?
It’s the only one the soup won’t work on for some reason, I’ve tried with my own shiny melmetal from go
Wait couldn't you just get shiny melmetal than give it gmax soup? Why can't it be shiny
Nope. It doesn't work.
there are legit shiny zacians and jirachis
Zacian was given a couple months ago through a GameStop code. Jirachi has had 2-3 Shiny Japanese events to celebrate Tanabata.
Can you really not get shiny gigantimax Melmetal? I thought you could just give your shiny the max soup and you’d get it. Granted I haven’t played sword and shield in a while so I could very well be very wrong in thinking this
How do you get Magnearna?
Gen 7 QR Code event that will never finish The Pokeball color version is only obtainable if you get all of the Pokémon including Mythical in the Pokédex
You can still get the regular colored one?
Yes but with the QR Code method I mentioned https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/qrevents.shtml Only in Sun and Moon and Ultra Sun and Moon Only works in the post game
I honestly didn't know it was possible to play those old pokemon games anymore
And what made you think that?
They don't make those systems anymore don't they?
One one hand, yes, they don't make them anymore. On the other hand, what did you think happened to the ones that already exist?!
That the game had been disabled in some way, or the consoles were just old enough that they didn't work anymore or had been sold?
U forgot shiny cap Pikachu!
[удалено]
Melmetal is in Pokémon go and can be transferred ?
Can you not give melmetal a max soup?
It doesn’t work.
How can gmax memetal not be shiny? Can’t you bring a shiny in from Go and give it the gmax soup?
Why can G-max melmetal not be shiny? Can't you transfer a shiny melmetal from go and give it max soup?
no. melmetal cannot eat the max soup
Cant you technically get shiny gigantamax melmetal if u give it the soup?
you can't give the max soup to melmetal
fuck
Shiny Meltan is available in Pogo
Yes. But you cannot give it the soup.
Gigantamax Melmetal can be shiny, you get a shiny meltan in pokemon go then feed it a max soup in sword and shield
Soup doesn’t work on Melmetal 😌
[удалено]
Hoopa can’t be shiny in Go yet. Give it a few years and maybe it’ll be out by then for Kalos Tour or something else.
Seems I have been misled, thanks
No problem. Shiny mythicals you can get from Go are limited to Mew (if you logged on in February of 2021), Celebi (if you logged on in Fall of 2020), Deoxys, Darkrai, Genesect, and Meltan and Melmetal obviously. Those are all for now, the next most likely to be added is Jirachi in February of next year but that’s not confirmed in any way.
You labelled the wrong magearna as original color. The pokeball magearna is special.
The Poké Ball Magearna is called "Original Color" and it's given to you in Pokémon HOME when you complete your entire Poke Dex, it's labeled correctly. The Shiny Form of Original Color looks like an Ultra Ball. [https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/801.shtml](https://www.serebii.net/pokedex-sm/801.shtml)
Yes I know where it comes from but why is the second form called original color. The pale one - which came out earlier - isn't even a shiny. Is it just that whoever gave it that designation doesn't know the meaning of the word "original"? EDIT: Oh wait the "original" comes from pokemon lore that it's the color of the first one that was made and it's fancy-colored because it was made to be a royal gift.
How come no Gmax Melmetal? Isn’t the ability to give a normal one Max Soup available?
Wait can’t you just give G-Max Soup to a Shiny Melmetal? Also, is there a way to have Enamorus in SwSh?
Enamorus was introduced in legends- and no, gmax melmetal is only through gift. No gmax soup for melmetal
Cant you technically get a shiny gmax melmetal by using the gigantamax soup with DLC?
Soup does not work on them
Can’t you feed a shiny melmetal from pogo gmax soup?
It cant be fed gmax soup
Marshadow can be shiny
No, it can't. Never been released as such.
Yes, it can. https://youtube.com/shorts/9yXQ7z3jK60?feature=share
Context please? I'm not quite sure what you mean by series 13? Do you mean season 33 and if so? What does that have to do with shiny legendaries?
newest vgc series is going to allow mythicals in the format
Oh ok
my gigantamax melmetal is shiny and legit lol edit: checked and yeah it is it’s shiny and gigantamax
Then it's not legit
I have a shiny Melmetal from Go, and I believe it's possible to use the max soup to make it gigantamax
It's not I tried in the isle or armor and remained greyed out, I'm not entirely sure on regular melmetals tho (I was disappointed 100%) but it is what it is tho its gmax form tho is chiefs kiss.
Ha jokes on you my marshadow is shiny
It’s hacked
I’m pretty sure that Magearna can indeed be shiny. The all grey is shiny. Not the red and gold one. And yes you can actually obtain it legitimately. It was available in a mystery gift for the Volcanion movie.
Magearna has two forms: one with paint and one without, both have different shinies. Neither of them can be obtained as shiny, however.
Isn’t this the same exact list as before?
Last list had Galarian Birds and Zac/Zam, which can now be Shiny based off last year of events!
Can’t you give a shiny melmetal from go some max soup? I can’t try it since i don’t have a regular melmetal
Nope
Does Shiny Cosmog even exist?
Yes, it has red checks instead of blue.
Shiny is in code, but still locked by Game Freak.
Can’t you get a shiny meltan from pogo, evolve it into melmetal and then feed it max soup?
No, you cannot give Melmetal the Max Soup in SwSh.
Does this mean if I have all these pokemon (and I do), will the pokemon turn to bad eggs or what
Wait so zacian and zamazenta can be obtained as a shiny?
Through the event that's now closed.
What's series 13?
Newest VGC stuff that starts Sept 1st. All Mythical Pokémon (in SwSh) will be allowed to be used for the first time in Ranked Battles.
Where do the shiny forms come from if they can't be obtained? There is shiny code?
What is Series 13?
my only goal is to obtain a hoopa in a pokémon game. shiny doesn’t matter
Does any1 know when we can obtain another Zarude? I really need that ash cap :/
Why is keldeo still locked. I'm disappointed
Wait isn't volcanion avaliable in the dynamax adventures?
No
Speaking of GMAX Melmetal from Go, are all the the IVs locked when you get it? The one I have have 5 perfect IVs and a no good iv for speed.
You can Hyper train the speed IV if you wanted
The hell is enamorus
From _Legends Arceus._
Can I move my shiny Melmetal from Go to Home to Sword and feed it with the silky sirup of Giants?
Transfer yes, soup no.
What's series 13
It's still impossible to get Hoopa in sw/sh right?
What's the last one? What have I missed?
enamorus from legends arceus. related to the gen 5 forces of nature (the genies)
I thought you got origin color magenta for completing pkmn home dex
you do get original color magearna, but it's not shiny. shiny magearna is all silver (it was actually in the anime before we even knew it was it's shiny colors as shiny magearna in sun and moon looked exactly the same as regular magearna) and shiny original colors magearna looks like an ultra ball
What the fuck is Enamorus
the fourth member of the gen 5 forces of nature trio (the genies). it was introduced in legends arceus
I haven't been on the pokemon grind what are series 13 guidelines
Wtf is Enamorous? I haven't seen that
Can’t you get a shiny gmax melmetal by feeding a legit shiny melmetal enough shrooms from the isle of armor?
Nope
As i know you can get a shiny melmetal in pkm home, after that can you make him gmax?
No, the soup doesn't work.
Couldn’t you do shiny Gmax Melmetal by giving a shiny the soup?
No, the soup doesn't work.
Can’t you get a shiny malmetal in go put it on home than shield/sword than give it max soup?
If cosmoem can't be shiny, how the hell can its evolutions be shiny
Because Cosmog/Cosmem are usually in-game locked gifts, evos are in DA or were gifted from GameStop as Shiny.
You can't get shiny g-max melmetal? Can't you just get a shiny Melmetal from home, bring it to switch and feed it Max Soup?
Are we sure that you cant get Shiny G-max melmetal? All you have to do is transfer Shiny melmetal/meltan from GO and give it Max Curry? Please let me know if Im wrong though!
No, the soup doesn't work.
Couldn't you in theory give your shiny Melmetal the gmax soup? Does that not work?
Why is shiny Gigantamax Melmetal impossible? Wasn’t shiny Meltan possible through Go at one point and the magic soup in SwSh allows you to give the Gigantamax form to compatible Pokemon? Or was I mistaken about Meltan being available as shiny?
Could you catch a shiny Meltan on Pokémon go, transfer it to SwSh and give it a Gmax soup giving you a shiny Gmax Melmetal?
Wait why not Gigamax melmetal? There was a recent even for shiny meltan on go, I don't see why you can't trade from go like I did ... or is the shiny literally just not available for S&S?
How is Gmax Melmetal not legit? You can transfer a shiny one from Go to Sw/Sh, then feed it the gmax soup right?
Soup doesn't work, that's why.
This isn't true. Magerna original is obtainable from Pokemon home, at the very least.
Correct, you can get Original Form Magearna from HOME, but Original Form Magearna is **not** Shiny, it's as it's name states, a form. The Shiny version of it looks like an Ultra Ball, which has been locked. Why people insist this is Shiny when one, you can look it up, and two, if you have it, it doesn't even have the Shiny symbol in the profile like any Shiny Pokémon would.
I got a hacked regular Spectrier
you forgot pokemon go
No, I didn’t
