Two types of shinies

[JohnPayne]

Sorry if this has been suggested before, but I really like how they dealt with shinies in pokemon sword in shield with two types, one much rarer than the other. I understand that the current shiny system is meant to keep shinies valuable by making the percentage lower, however I think that if two types of shinies were implemented in pokemmo (where a normal shiny was brought back to 1/8192 and a special shiny became 1/32768) it would make shiny hunting much more enjoyable while still retaining the value in them.

The only value of shinies is being very rare. If you remove that you remove their coolness. And there's no need to do that.

I understand that, I’m arguing that with two types of shinies you keep it’s coolness while making it more enjoyable to hunt.

@JohnPayne imo there are already too many shinies out there - people find them daily. I have found 7 this year alone (8 to be fair but I ran from a shiny Pikachu qq) while still focusing on improving my competitive game. 

Just keep searching and you will find them as well.

It's literally just a different sparkle animation, there's nothing else special about them.

Well you can say that about shinies in general, it’s just a different color so what’s special about them. What makes it special is the fact that it’s rare.

And with that one sentence you've undone your entire request argument.

Exactly this. Plus, while there is a programming quirk with it, the actual odds of having a shiny with square sparkles instead of stars is 1/16, which is significantly more common than a standard shiny.

If pokemmo was to ever implement a 2nd shiny form it would have like a 1/60k chance encounter. It only makes sense to make the 2nd form harder to get since they dont want it to be unfair for those who already have the shinies. I believe many people would welcome this change esp if they take this opportunity to give other mons more appealing visuals like making gengar's 2nd shiny form be the white shiny gengar.

1/32k Shinies are alread pretty low regarding the price. That low, catching them is basicly a waste of time compaired to stuff that would make you cash instead.

 

add 1/8k shinies and they lose all (remaining) exclusivity they have.
