(his request inspired the idea)
Long ago their was a move so powerful that it could turn pokemon to gold. Almost none used it because the change was permanent. But their was one trainer that used it.
He would use it on any pokémon he battled wild or caught. After witch he would take the pokémon for his collection. He gathered many pokémon, even legendary pokémon.
One day Arceus decided that this could not be allowed to continue so he confronted the trainer but was turned to gold as well.
This caused chaos all over the world wich soon awoke zygarde, the order pokémon. Zygarde, knowing that he could not defeat the trainer in battle decided his only option was to awaken yveltal.
When yveltal awoke zygarde sent it to finally put an end to the use of the forbidden move. Yveltal approached the trainer and just as the trainer was about to have his chandelure use the forbidden move yveltal drained them both of all their life force.
Yveltal then went and destroyed all who could use the forbidden move, though some say that somewhere their are ancient ruins containing the secret of the forbidden move. After yveltal had completed his task he retuned to sleep.
Though yveltal can not awaken without causing xerneas to awaken due to their close connection. When xerneas saw what had happened it returned life to all the pokémon that had fallen to the forbidden move.
Though these pokémon once again had life they were never the same. These pokémon retained their golden color. It is because of the evil actions of this trainer that you can find pokémon that glitter and shine like gold even to this day. Though it is much rarer now then it once was.
That is the story of the golden shinys.
