thanks for doing this, it's extremely kind of you 
sending you all the good vibes for the future
have this bizarre trivia fact about my primary brainrot (pokemon), and also do not feel obliged to read it haha
in order to determine shininess, the game uses both trainer ID and secret ID upon generating a pokemon.
this results in a bizarre little quirk for eggs -- because eggs can be traded to a different trainer with different IDs, it is technically possible for a normal egg to hatch shiny on a different file. this is because, while the pokemon that will hatch from the egg is rolled for and determined the moment the egg is generated, those rolls depend on the IDs of the file the egg is currently on.
so, say trainer 1 breeds an egg. the moment that egg is collected, its values are set; if trainer 1 saves before hatching it and resets after, the pokemon will have exactly the same IVs, gender, nature, ability, and shiny status every reset.
however! all of that depends on trainer 1's IDs. let's say that instead of hatching this egg themself, trainer 1 instead sent the egg to trainer 2. the game will then roll to determine the unhatched pokemon's values once it arrives on trainer 2's file -- essentially, it's as if it's being picked up from the daycare for the first time.
and, because it's a whole new roll, there is a chance that this egg will hatch shiny for trainer 2 when it was normal for trainer 1, and vice versa.
BUT!!
this was changed as of generation 8!
now, the game will basically fudge the unhatched pokemon's values in order to maintain the shiny status it was originally generated with.
this means we can now shiny hunt with charm + masuda, save before each egg hatches, check for shininess, and if it sparkles, reset and send the shiny to a different file... where it will also hatch shiny!
this is absolutely massive for me personally -- i adore doing nuzlockes, and i also love breeding for competitive pokemon. it's always been a bummer that i can't custom breed shiny starters for weird nuzlocke challenges (obedience is a Nightmare on hardcore nuzzes, especially with additional rules on top), but now i can!
i'm currently picking away at a shield single-stages only nuz, whose starters are a trio of shinies: eiscue, falinks, and duraludon.
it's been very weird so far haha
anyway!
hopefully that was at least mildly interesting, and i wish you well with all your future endeavours ^^
