Exciting News in the PokeFarm League!!

So what you are looking for (just to help specify the wording on the rule) is:
A first evolution-stage Pokémon that has an evolution-stage chain of 3 (or more).

3 or more is kind of optional, because the maximum size of an evolution chain is currently 3. It's just to make the rule more future proof.

Just a note to clarify. In my examples I listed a team that would not qualify for the shiny badge.

Gastly, Horsea, Voltorb.

That team does not qualify for the shiny badge ONLY because of the voltorb. The other pokemon are fine. I just wanted you all to realize that all 3 pokemon must be the lowest stage of a 3 stage evolution chain in order to qualify for the shiny badge.

I have a small question, more in regards to breeding methods as opposed to directly about the new Shiny badges. I had a look around, (and even had someone else look around) but I couldn't find any information that specifically stated how Shiny badge distribution is decided, other than "a team of Pokemon bred and trained by yourself."

I breed all my Pokemon on my Diamond, but hatch and train them on my Platinum. Would that 'disqualify' me from getting a Shiny badge?

Sorry if its been answered elsewhere; I've looked around and couldn't really find anything to clarify this point, so I thought I'd ask.

To get a shiny badge,your pokemon all need to have the same ID. So if received the egg in the same game, then you should be good.

except they all have to be yours, in other words, i can't use the 6 i've gotten from whit and win a shiny badge (I'd like to though haha)

To add to that, they have to be bred in Gen IV (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum). You sadly can't breed them in Gen III (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed and LeafGreen) and use them to get the shiny badge.

that is correct. you can battle the gyms with them and win a regular badge as long as they are not hacked.
