Yep. There used to be a glitch with Pokebank where it wouldn't have in Gold and Silver's case (due to accidentally scrambling how the Game Boy's versions of IVs work), but they fixed that in an update sometime ago.

Once you get the Red Gyarados, pairing it off with another Pokemon will generate eggs with a 1/64 chance to be shiny because of the different hatching mechanics.

Follow this guide to breed shininess to every egg group.

as a warning, shininess is based on IV's in gold and silver, which means you probably won't get taunted by your opponents shiny spinerak

You can use the 3DS IR port for Mystery Gift in Gold/Silver just like you could on the GBC originally. I'm very happy about this

I figured they wouldn't bother

That kicks rear end. Wonder if you could do mystery gift between a 3DS and an original copy on a GBC...

I need to get to Goldenrod ASAP to try this out.

You and your friend with Gameboy Color units would select mystery gift from the main menu and line up the IR ports. An item would then be added to the game. Pokemon Pikachu also worked with it...does it now?

question; does GS remember what kind of ball you caught someone in when you transfer them through the bank? I kinda want a Ho-Oh in an apricorn ball.

I saw something that said it didn't store the ball that a mon was caught in until gen 3, but it is possible that someone was wrong on the internet

For reference, Gold/Silver have this as the base sprite for Spinarak:



This is Sun and Moon base spinarak:

I'm so happy that two dog mons were shown in that trailer which means I can have Manectric and Houndoom in Beast Balls eventually.

Watch them take out that bit where Looker gives you Beast Balls when you don't have any in your inventory, or the game starts checking to see if held Pokemon have any. Or maybe the reverse will happen and they allow you to buy Beast Balls straight from Aether Paradise.

Hey, does anyone have a Destiny Knot in sumo they could give me? Or the capacity to hack one in? I don't know if there's much I could offer you, maybe a legit shiny for your collection, it's not competitive, but if you like collecting them I've found a few.

The Mew glitch doesn't require saving the game during a box switch in the PC and shutting off the power. But resetting the game in the Virtual Console manual works the same according to another source.

So if I hatch an egg and the pokemon is 5V/right nature, then reset the game and trade the egg - the stats and nature will remain identical and all that changes is OT (and possibly shininess), correct?

IVs/Nature/Ability/etc. are set when you pick up the egg from the Daycare/Nursery. As long as you saved after picking it up, you're golden.

Sufficiently kickass.
I've not been keeping up with the thread very well so I don't know if this has been covered yet or not, but...

Do you guys think Poke Transporter will eventually be compatible with the recent virtual console version of Silver? I see it recognizes my copy of Red, so I sorta figure it'll work for Silver in time and that it's just not compatible yet since the release is still so fresh. I just wanna know because in my two decades of playing Pokemon I finally just came across and caught my first wild/random shiny Mon (green tentacool on Silver) and I wanna get it to my Moon game. Looks like I'll have to wait, though.

I could see them making it compatible with US/UM a month or two after they are released.
