If you want to be really thorough, extract poketool/pokegra/pokegra.narc and replace each changed palette entry (only the palette ones, not the image ones, unless necessary like Blissey!).Īs stated, each Pokémon has its palette hue shifted by an amount determined by their personality value.(Note that some Pokémon might have changes to the base sprite.) For each image in the Shin圜hanges folder, insert that image to the proper place using "Pokemon Ds/Pic Platinum".Extract poketool/pokegra/pl_pokegra.narc.Inject arm9_patched.bin, overlay12_patched.bin, overlay86_patched.bin, and overlay87_patched.bin back into arm9.bin, overlay9-12.bin, overlay9-16.bin, overlay9-86.bin, and overlay9-87.bin, respectively.


Gligar - Normal Gligar has been changed to its HGSS colors, which are much closer to the official artwork. Leafeon - Fall colors, inspired by various posts suggesting the idea. Sunkern, Sunflora - Purple and a more blueish green, resembling a purple sunflower. Scyther - Made to be red-orange, which makes shiny Scyther and Scizor effectively be a loose swap of their normal colors.Įlekid, Electabuzz, Electivire - Light blue, with Elekid being slightly more Cyan. (The image data of this sprite has also been tweaked.) Normal Gengar has been also modified to be like its anime palette. Haunter, Gengar - Tried to make a sensible gradient from Gastly to Mega Gengar (purple -> white with blue highlights). Seel, Dewgong - Made to look more visibly gold.


Meowth, Persian - Mint green to complement vanilla shiny Meowth's pink, and with a silver coin and ears, respectively.Ībra, Kadabra - More pink instead of brown to match, and create a gradient towards, shiny Alakazam. Nidoqueen - Colors made to look like Nidoking, which matches the pattern set by all other members of the Nidoran lines. A bit of a gradient from pale yellow to pale orange throughout the evolutionary line. Pichu, Pikachu, Raichu - Tried to make visually distinct instead of the slight orange tint. In additon, the opportunity has been taken to revamp Pokémon that seem to have obviously "bad" shiny palettes even if there's no ambiguity issue. To remedy this, many Pokémon have been given revamped shiny colors. Some Pokémon have shiny colors that are very close to their non-shiny colors, or at least close enough that the simple hue shift performed by this hack may make a normal Pokémon look shiny.

If you would like to use this in your own hacks, please feel free to do so! Improved Shiny Colors This implementation performs a hue shift on the Pokémon's palette on load. The ROM hack Pokémon Polished Crystal implements a very similar feature based on IV values. This is inspired by a similar feature from the Pokémon Stadium games that does just this but based on the Pokémon's nickname. This Platinum hack aims to make it so each individual Pokémon has a slight color variation based on its personality value.
