No, I mean it was shiny. It only wasn't when it was doing the hatch animation, right when it came out of the egg.

Also, as mentioned, I encountered the original instance, and wanted to see if it was an early-game thing, or persisted post-E4. I also wanted to know if how it was traded affected it. I now know both. Interesting results.
Yes, it is possible to breed for shinies without downloading the programs.
Ofcourse they're legit, it's because one game reads it as an egg from international parents, while the other game doesn't.
Good luck with your targets ^^
International parents shouldn't affect it, as they only affect the egg when it's generated, not hatched. I guess it's because the egg is given the breeder's ID, and only changed to the hatcher's after hatching. Therefore, when the egg is hatching, it still has the original ID, so appears non-shiny. However, after hatching, it's given the hatcher's ID, so appears shiny.
Someone confirm on Pokésav whether eggs have trainer IDs; that would confirm my theory.
EDIT: Just checked; at least on Pearl, eggs have trainer IDs. That means that the hatcher's ID is only assigned after the egg hatches, explaining the glitch.
Nice, Wichu.
And, this only applies when you trade an egg to hatch shiny in another game, so it's not really a big deal.

Very interested in learning more about this.
Well at some point I plan to add an easy way to do this to RNG reporter, but I will see if I can find/develop some easy instructions and add them to the OP.
I need help on the RNG reporter I always do not get anything when I hit the Find button after putting the IVs
Do I really need my poke to be lv 100 to get the right IV after catching it?
I have a few questions to clear up.
1) this egg glitch, does it happen no matter what? or only when you trade to a different game which has the shiny ID. so if I calculated my platinum sid and did an egg for it, then it would hatch shiny, but if I checked my Diamond sid and did an egg for it on Platinum, then traded before the egg hatched. then the egg will hatch normal, but once deposited in the PC, then it becomes shiny?
2) can this program be opened without saving it?
3) when I look for a shiny spread. does it HAVE to be the nature listed, or can I change that nature some way?

Wait, is this one better than the other calculators?
Can you get the accurate IV's from a lower level there?
That would be great, as I will buy a real copy of Platinum when it's released in Europe. I know use an IV code with my R4, but I don't have any cheat devices xD
1. Someone else can answer.
2. Not sure of question, same as 1.
3. It will be that nature no matter what.
I will catch a low level pokemon and test how accurate it is.
dang. I guess I'll have to make sure I have a set of paretns for every usable nature. still want to know about the second question. thanks for answering
