So today I decided to finally send my Manaphy egg to Heartgold, RNG for good nature and IVs and then restart Platinum and RNG for a TID/SID combination that would make the egg shiny. I then traded the egg over to platinum to hatch a shiny Manaphy. The ranger Manaphy egg is shinylocked, but it can still be shiny if you trade it to a different game. It's a shiny that is extremely difficult to get any other way.
Thanks for watching.
