Can the surfing pikachu that you get from mantine surf be shiny USUM?

Question

when you beat the high scores in all of the mantine suf spots, you can get a surfing pikachu. is it shiny locked?

Comments

"It can be shiny. - It has the regular shiny odds to it, 1 in every 4096 (it was halved in gen 6). - It is determined whether or not it's shiny when you get it and not when you achieve top score in all the surfing spots. - You can't breed it for other Surf Pikachu, much less a shiny one."

quick google search, idk how reliable the source is though

Answer 1

It is worth mentioning that the Pikachu itself is not shiny locked, nature locked, or IV locked, so if players want to, they can save the game just before collecting the Pikachu and continuously reset until they get the Surfing Pikachu.
