An overworld particle effect for swarm Pokemon, indicating if the Pokemon has 3x31 IVs or higher.
*Optional: Brilliant Aura Particle Effect for Pokemon caught in a swarm with natural 3x31 IVs or higher.
Pros:
Allow players that are late to a swarm to focus on a priority Pokemon should it have a brilliant aura. Players can be delayed massively by things like E4, Battle Tower, Tournaments, Events, or even just information about the swarm being relayed long after it started.
Give additional reason for players to check on a swarm, even if it's something common like a Geodude swarm.
A pseudo-shiny level of excitement, allowing for a 'new tier' of Pokemon encounters that enthuse players. (Normal -> Brilliant -> Shiny -> Super Shiny)
Cons:
Change of focus for some players when catching swarms, and ONLY checking for brilliant auras.
A small increase in listed breeders, as mentioned before, common pokemon swarms would now likely be checked adamantly by some. (Possibly a pro, depending on the state of the economy)
Notes:
No increases to encounter/spawn rates of 3x31 IVs or higher. Just a visual.
Only possible to have a brilliant aura if the species is registered in the OT Dex, though 3x31 IVs or higher is still possible without OT Dex, the pokemon would just not have a brilliant aura.
Shiny Rate is not increased for the species if a brilliant aura pokemon is caught. (Original mechanic concept, though it might be interesting to apply a shorter shiny charm-like buff)
Very slight decrease to catch chance. (Not sure about this myself, but it could serve to simulate the increased strength the pokemon would have with the visually pre-confirmed IVs)
