They don't. Since Gen 3, shinyness is derived from a function involving a Pokemon's hidden personality value.
In Gen 2, it was derived from one of the IVs of a Pokemon, IIRC. Much like how gender was.
In Gen II, if a Pokemon had the right combination of IVs it would be shiny. But, as I said just before you posted this (probably as you were typing), stats and shininess are no longer related.
Oh yeah forgot Kyurem had one (I'm not good at remembering these things, okay
), dunno know then.KaiyoOrganiz

What I mean is Nintendo probably has rigged them to having way higher chances of getting the relatively superior/outstanding Potentials with perfect IVs but put Shiny Locks on them.

Hey, I need a bit of help catching Moltres.
As some of you know, the legendary birds like to scatter throughout the map quickly and it has been a pain trying to get him 10 times. Could someone please tell me an easy way of fixing this problem? Thanks!

Just look for other Pokémon. Seriously, searching for that damn white flabébé (still haven't) I once encountered Zapdos in the same area three times without me having left or turned the game off!

The IVRNG and PIDRNG are two separate PRNGs that determine the stats and the other characteristics of the Pokemon, respectively. These two PRNGs are independent of one another; altering the parameters of one will not alter the parameters of the other.
If no other unbreedable Pokemon will found shiny in the wild, it may be a possibility that the shiny lock is tied to the weighted IV generation; I don't know if this is true.

Both of those can breed; the IV setting only applies to those that can't breed, such as baby Pokemon.
Well, I've personally found a shiny Mime Jr in a horde battle.
Mime. Jr isn't genderless.
Weren't there some extra pieces of data added to the Pokemon files this generation? Could be one of those.
He means unbreedable Pokémon, baby Pokémon can't breed and thus get the same 3 perfect IV set that the legendaries do.

Nonetheless, that would mean that the guaranteed 3 31 IVs on Undiscovered Egg group 'mons have nothing to do with the legendary shiny locks.

Yveltal and Xerneas for shiny (IV doesn't matter) pokes or rare (poke bank/non friend safari) h.a 5iv pokes.
As the title says! I am willing to trade my numerous legit x and y legends for either shinies or rare h.a pokes. Mainly shinies though.
Sorry if this is the wrong place, pm me if interested with an offer.
I'll also accept any trade evolutions permitting they have 5IV, HA and will evolve on trade.
Thanks!! PM Me if you want a trade!

What Kaiyo meant ~20 posts ago was simply that Gamefreaks reasoning to put a shiny-block on legends might have been as an EXCHANGE for them having 3 perfect IVs.
There was no reason to go on tangents about how shininess worked in gen II or any of that, because no one said the two facts are related in the coding that generates pokemon, merely that gamefreaks choices to do so might have been.
Lets say no pupil=blind, and no mouth=mute.
Xerneas, has pupils but has no mouth, Yveltal has a mouth but no pupils and Zygarde has no mouth and no pupils.
Xerneas is mute.
Yveltal is blind.
Zygarde is mute and blind.
Makes sense to me xD

Except that it doesn't because all 3 can make noise and have cries therefore none of them are mute and Yveltal does have pupils.
Well think of how boring and annoying it would be to have Pokemon without cries. Makes no sense, so for gameplay purposes they have cries.
Interesting thoughts, but until there's factual proof in-game leaves it to speculation.
Also with Zygarde, those hexagons, especially the single lit one on either side of his face could qualify as eyes, especially considering they don't 'flicker' like the ones that do on its body.
Every Pokemon doesn't have the same eye structure. ;o
