Can you get shiny Pokemon on the Pokewalker?

Question

Not cheats

Answer 1

Sorry Pokemaster, but shininess hasn’t been determined by IVs since Gen 2. I found several sources saying that no, it’s not possible to get a shiny through the Pokéwalker.

Everybody points to this Smogon post that shows how Pokewalker PID generation works. If it's accurate, it does prove that Pokewalker Pokemon cannot be Shiny (among other things): https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/61090/page-10#post-2634864

Answer 2

Yes it should be possible since a shiny is determined by the random IVs (hidden pokemon data). It will be the same chance as normal, 1 in 8192.

But you won't be able to tell until you send it back to the game, because the Pokewalker is monochrome.

I guess you might as well catch every pokemon you find on the Pokewalker then...
