Can Hacked Pokémon Breed Shiny?
The answer to whether hacked Pokémon can breed shiny is yes, as the offspring of a hacked Pokémon can inherit the shiny trait as long as the other parent is shiny and the breeding process is done correctly, with no illegal characteristics being passed down. The shininess of the offspring is determined by the breeding mechanics, and using a hacked Pokémon as a parent does not affect the chances of the offspring being shiny, unless the hacked Pokémon has an illegal shiny lock.
