[DISCUSSION] How Can Shiny Legendaries Exist?
#1
I know that not all legendaries are unique or one of a kind, but there are a few that are. If that's so, how can there be a shiny version of one of the unique legendaries if there is only one of them per universe.

Since the game operates around the multiverse theory (as proven in OR/AS), could it just be that when you encounter a shiny legendary that you are in a universe where that specific legendary is in it's shiny form? This would also conveniently explain variations in IVs and Natures for said unique legendaries...

inb4 "It's game mechanics!"
Just because it's game mechanics doesn't mean it lacks an explanation, especially when considering this series always has a clever way of explaining many things (in other words, it has a let of retcons).

Anyway, what do you guys think?  Huh
