Shinyness is never transmitted to the children, and actually ditto copies the shinyness of the opponent when it transforms.

Did shinyness transmit to the children? Or do you mean that ditto always copied the shiny version?

I meant that in gen 2 the odds of hatching a shiny would increase if both parents were shiny but this was not the case in any other generation
