[ASM & Hex] Making a Certain Species Always Shiny

[Puffle754]

I've done a bit of searching, but I haven't found anything pertaining to this.

Essentially, I'm wondering if there is a way to make a specific species of Pokemon always appear shiny, even if it's just randomly found in the wild?

don't use shinyzer for this, you'll end up making ALL the pokemon shiny
you'll need to go to the area that the bytes change from using a shiny altering routine and then place your check there.

Are you saying to make a check for the specific species like a table?

I guess that works, but you can also use a label, or even something like mov r0, #species

I would insert a public shiny generator routine if I were you (like this one: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=8531480&postcount=251)

Setting the trigger would simply be this logic:

trigger || (species == rattata)

So for the provided example routine, this part here needs to be adjusted

main:
	ldr r0, =(0x20370BC) @0x8002 is shiny flag
	ldrb r0, [r0]
	cmp r0, #0xFF
	bne noCrash
	push {r4-r7}
	...
	...

A potential solution if you give up:

Spoiler:

main:
	ldr r0, =(0x20370BC) @0x8002 is shiny flag
	ldrb r0, [r0]
	cmp r0, #0xFF
	beq makeShiny
	cmp r1, #19 @rattata's species ID is 19
 	bne noCrash

makeShiny:
	push {r4-r7}
	...
	...

FBI, do you know a way to make trainer battles with a specific slot in opponent's party with a shiny pkmn? (Example: The opponent have Bulbasaur/Charmander/Squirtle, then I want to make the Charmander Shiny)

You can do it the same way as this, except also check the trainer flag. It's clunky if you have a lot of shiny cases, but other solutions may be harder to implement.
