Aard Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I keep hearing this, but has it ever been confirmed its exactly 1/30000? I've heard people say its "around" 1/30000. I've been wondering if its actually 1/32768. Donator status as described if the shiny rate is 1/30000 would be is 1/27272.72- and higher ups will say its 1/27000 when asked which isn't correct. So I wonder if the actual shiny rate is similar. Link to comment

These things are really weird, even I saw a player meet 2 shinies in a encounter with a group of wild pokemon. I also saw a player escape from a battle with shiny but encounter a shiny again in the next battle. Link to comment

I don't think its impossible that someone figured something out, but idk man. idk Link to comment

So I wonder if the actual shiny rate is similar. it was stated that the shiny rate was roughly 1 in 30k by kyu himself. i am pretty sure he said something along the line of not being exactly 1 in 30k and that i vary slightly from one person to another for safety reason or something like that so this would explain why some may say "around". personally i assume that it is something like 1 in 30k +-0.5k. but i am wondering where did you get those number from? 2 hours ago, Aard said: I've been wondering if its actually 1/32768.

Gen 3 games were 1/8192 and its possible they just multiplied some mechanic by 4 without much more work. The donator status is just how they describe it as "a 10% increase in shiny rate". that means instead of 1/30k you have a 1.1/30k or 1/27272. 1/27000 isn't an exact 10% increase from 1/30000 like a lot of people think.

Shiny rate is fair. yeah sorry no one was saying it was unfair for once or even ranting about them not getting shiny (at least not directly) Link to comment
fredrichnietze Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 their was also talk of modifiers used to keep suspected botters from finding shinys. havent heard about this in years idk if thats just not ok to talk about these days, or if it isnt done anymore. that might be the "about" Link to comment
