Ridley12 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 It seems like lots of people have caught Shiny Pokemon. What even is the rate for it? Is there like some kinda secret, or are people just that lucky? Link to comment

You would need to encounter a whopping thirty thousand Pokemon just to possibly find one Shiny. I mean, the official games chances are much less than that, even though they're still large numbers. EDIT: I apologize. I meant to say that if you encounter a group of thirty thousand Pokemon, one of those has a chance of being a Shiny. I was incorrect in my original assumption.

This is not how probability works, you can find a shiny in 10, 100, 5000 or 100000 encounters, it depends on how lucky you are. ^^ The chance to find a shiny in vanilla games can be higher because it doesn't affect their economy. Shiny pokemons are highly valuable here, since it's a MMO, that's why it's important to be harder to find one. If you're hunting a shiny, i wish you luck! ^^ May Arceus bless your hunt soon~ kuplion, Revz, Ridley12 and 6 others 9 Link to comment

Found a shiny pelipper in 3 encounters, it's random in my opinion. kuplion and Ridley12 2 Link to comment

Seth Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 3 hours ago, Ridley12 said: Yeah, that totally makes sense, especially since people sell them for crazy amounts. The prices are actually low at the moment compared to a few months ago - I think that is a result of many players playing, hunting, encountering shinies due to the increased playtime in the game during the corona lockdown. The rate is 1/30k as pointed, but I have tried encountering a shiny after just 40 leppas (400 encounters on a 5x horde) and after 63k+ encounters. It is all about luck, so my only suggestion to you (if you are gonna hunt) is that you stay patient and try to watch some series/TV in the background while hunting so you don't get all bored. In our team, we like to socialize and encourage each other whenever we shiny hunt. Best of luck! kuplion and Ridley12 2 Link to comment
FighterChamp Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I found my only shiny Zubat in 1 encounter(After playing 317 hrs). -_- It's Just Luck. kuplion and Ridley12 2 Link to comment

Leeham Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 The base rate is 1/30000, which is really high in my opinion, but just makes them even more rare than they already were :) Link to comment
Bearminator Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 It might sound like a really ridiculous number, but when you search for shiny from popular EV spots (like rapidash, garbodors etc) you can see pages upon pages of shinies found there. Shinies are rarer here, but they at least have some value. kuplion 1 Link to comment
