So a Pokemon is shiny based on its IV set right? Does that make it a bad idea to 5IV breed for a shiny?

Question

If it is, I'm offering free 4IV Timid Charmanders.

Answer 1

No
A Pokemons "Shinyness" is now determined off the "Original Trainers ID Number", secret ID number, and the Pokemons personality value. They No longer are dependent on Ivs since Gen 3.
