Shinylocked Pokemon Masterlist

A Pokemon that is shinylocked is unable to be legitimately obtained shiny in the game(s) they are listed under. The game is programmed so that they will never appear as shiny. This practice started in Pokemon Black and White and has continued up to the most recent games (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon).

A Pokemon being shinylocked in one game does not mean it will be shinylocked in all subsequent games.
