In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny. However, with the exception of {{p|Magearna}} in its normal form, [[Pikachu in a cap]], and [[Partner Pokémon (game)|Partner]] {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}, all of these Pokémon have Shiny variants in their respective games' code. | In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny.

27 Pokémon now have the ability to be shiny. They are large-HP bosses marked with a yellow and black "Strong Foe" symbol. The chance of recruiting one can be increased if the leading Pokémon has a [[Friend Bow]] equipped. | 27 Pokémon now have the ability to be shiny.
