6th Gen Shiny locked Legendaries

[Neil Peart]

I just tried to trade a shiny Groudon to someone, and evidently I have a "Pokemon that can't be traded in my party." I read somewhere that Groudon isn't shiny locked, so what gives? The only other Pokemon I had in my party was an Empoleon. The Groudon is way past its minimum encounter level. It doesn't have any EVs, so it's not because it has hacked EVs. It has a pentagon. So, does the "party" count for my box as well? Or did Pokemon patch something up? This is aggravating.

It must be a hacked Pokemon. Groudon and Kyogre are shiny locked in ORAS. As for the blue pentagon that means nothing for its legitimacy, it just means it came from Gen 6. Doesn't mean it isn't hacked or not. You most likely have yourself a hacked Pokemon and that's why you can't trade it.

Here's info on that blue pentagon. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Blue_pentagon

Do you have any idea which ones aren't shiny locked?

Are you trying to trade a Groudon with Precipice Blades to an X/Y game? That may be the reason why, not the shiny-ness

Sorry I just noticed that your Groudon has a pentagon. In that case, that's most likely hacked. Sorry man

Pretty sure on Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza and Deoxys are shiny locked. All other legendaries can be obtained, including the Latias/Latios you get gifted to you. Lot of people think that one is locked, but it isn't.

Damn. For the record, I was trying to trade it to someone on ORAS.
