dumb question, but I thought usually you had to catch them to see if they're shiny in colo and xd? I know you can see the trainer throw them out and be shiny, but I thought the stats and shinyness changed once you captured it
not a dumb question at all!! the shadows in xd are normally shiny locked, im using a rom that has the shiny lock removed and that means we can see if the pokemon is shiny when its sent out by the opponent and when we catch it, it stays shiny. you are correct though, that is how it works for colosseum and you have to catch them in that game

Btw if you lost to it, it would've stayed shiny! The stats and all info stay locked in once it's thrown into battle. Congrats!
ohh okay, that makes sense, thank you!! Now I feel dumb LMAO
