Gen 2 breeding mechanics.
If you have a Shiny Ditto, the chances get reduced to 1/64 (compared to 1/8192 or 1/128 without using Ditto).
But, if I did my math correctly, I have a 1/68 chance because of how DVs (now known as IVs) work in Gen 2 with respect to gender.
Snorlax is one of those pokemon who has an 87.5% chance of being male upon encounter. Quirk behind Shininess in Gen 2 lies in the DVs.
For a pokemon to be shiny, it has to have 10 in each of its DVs bar Attack, which can be either:
2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15
The HP DV is determined by the other 4 DVs, which the only two valid corresponding DVs are 0 and 8.
Chances of this occurring in the wild? 1/8192.
Well, with breeding in Gen 2, DVs are passed a little differently than IVs in the subsequent generations.
In gen 2, the DVs of the baby are determined by the parent of the OPPOSITE GENDER, unless it is a Ditto, which then the baby inherits the statting of the Ditto.
The Defense DV is passed down always. Special DV (It wasn't until Gen 3 that the Special DV was split) is 50/50. 50% chance of staying the same, 50% chance of going +/- 8.
Attack and Speed DVs are determined completely at random while the HP DV is determined by the other 4 DVs.
Now, how is gender determined? By the Attack DV. if it is average/above average, the pokemon is male. If not, it is female. The average is determined by its gender ratio. With a female pokemon whose ratio is 7 male to 1 female, the maximum Attack DV is 1, therefore meaning it is impossible to have a female Shiny Snorlax in Gen 2.
So here I am, playing with those chances

It is. I can pretty much tell you anything you need/want to know revolving gen 2 mechanics
