>>22336660They can in Gen6, not possible in gen 5.
>>22336662I understand that but I figured you would set his location to egg/hatched etc. he doesn't have to be caught in the grotto for him to be Hidden ability since you can find females in hidden grottos then breed and shiny locking doesn't exist for breedable pokemon.
Infact I went and did research, he (solipede) doesn't appear in hidden grottos but in dream world.
"Similar to wild Reshiram, Zekrom and Victini in Pokémon Black and White, all Pokémon found in the Dream World cannot be Shiny. A Pokémon found in the Dream World will always have its Hidden Ability, if it has one. Pokémon found in the Dream World have about a 25% chance of being female regardless of gender distribution, unless the Pokémon can be of only one gender. All Pokémon obtained in the Dream World will be at level 10, unless they evolve at a level above 10, in which case they will be at that level; certain legendary Pokémon will also be at levels above 10. " DW Venipede is %100 breedable in gen5 so it being shiny should be the least of your worries in bringing it to gen 6.
You didn't give him a hidden grotto location.... did you? If you didn't do egg that's got to be the problem.
