Guaranteed Shiny Gen 1 after Gen 2 Pokebank Update

Does anyone know the Item Setup for Pokemon Blue to make a Pokemon Shiny?
Since the normal Item Setup is no more viable due to the Release of Pokebank for Gen 2.

I gave luckytyphlosion a link to this thread on Discord and he provided the following links:

They seem to correspond to one another and allow you to create any Pokémon you want in Gen 1. I'm not sure whether or not it answers your question, though, as it's not very clear what you meant.

I think Aaroniskill1996 is referring to how Pokémon Bank was originally bugged, or at least had an oddity about it regarding Shiny Pokémon:

Prior to Version 1.3, the roles of the Attack and Defense IVs were swapped, meaning that the process did not properly correspond to Generation II.


In order for a Pokémon to be Shiny (in Generation II or Generation I transferred to Generation II or Generation I/II to Bank after Version 1.3), its Attack IV must be 2, 3, 6, 7, A(10), B(11), E(14), or F(15), and its other IVs to A(10) each.

At some point it seems someone made an ACE method that applied to before Version 1.3. I'm unsure what IVs it needed as my memory back then has faded, but maybe as a guess the code assumed the Defense IV must be 2, 3, 6, 7, A, B, E or F and not Attack, which with the ('wrong'/prior to v1.3) behaviour would always be A (10).

Luckytyphlosion's links are for mass creation of Shiny Pokémon, and its likely because they seem recent that they assume Version 1.3+ behaviour, so should work.

However, if you just want to set box Pokémon 1's DVs to Shiny for Pokémon Red/Blue (which would be slower for setting many Pokémon Shiny), try:

(Assuming your code is set up to run item 3):

Item 1-2: (anything)
Item 3: Lemonade x 250
Item 4: Thunderstone x177
Item 5: TM18 (or TM50) x 34
Item 6: Lemonade x 170
Item 7: Water Stone x 201
Item 8+: (anything)

This sets the current storage box Pokémon 1's DV values FA AA (15 Attack, 10 Defense, 10 Speed, 10 Special) (HP DV is given automatically).

Hope this helps :)

Yes i need a Item setup to get any pokemon shiny in Box 1 or something like that for the latest Pokebank Update (V1.3).
Do u got any easy Setup that works with the current version?

Random Question from the side (if allowed):
Sadly iam only used to standard glitches like Old Man, MissingNo., Item Duplication and Trainer Fly while beeing bad at the important stuff like 8F to manipulate the game.
Thats why i cant come up with own code neither can i read it and know what item setup does what.
Is there a good tutorial for beginners or sites to learn the bit system etc. of Pokemon gen 1?

For learning the basics: https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=6638.0.html
For learning ASM: https://glitchcity.info/wiki/GB_Programming
For making custom setups: 8F Helper / GBz80 to Items

For shiny Mew in particular, Lucky's documentation for his VC farming web app is extensive and doesn't leave anything unanswered that I can see. If you just want to turn the first Pokémon in box 1 shiny as soon as possible, follow the instructions under "Bootstrapping" in the 8F thread, set up your items the way Torchic just said, and use 8F.
