Shiny Pokémon: Difference between revisions

In {{g|GO}}, certain Pokémon species have a chance of being Shiny, with each species having its own Shiny rate. For most Pokémon, the Shiny rate is approximately 1 in 500. However, in certain [[List of events in Pokémon GO|in-game events]], the Shiny chance may be increased for certain Pokémon.  For example, on [[Community Day]]s, the featured Pokemon will always have increased Shiny odds. Shiny Pokémon may be encountered through any method: randomly in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, from hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s, by completing [[Field Research]] tasks, by winning [[Raid Battle]]s, or as [[GO Battle League]] rewards. All Pokémon seen in the overworld appear non-Shiny, but when a player attempts to capture a Pokémon, it may appear as a Shiny Pokémon. Likewise, during a Raid Battle, the Raid Boss always appears non-Shiny during battle, but it may become Shiny during the bonus challenge. Shiny encounters are random for each player, meaning that if two players attempt to catch the same Pokémon, one player may encounter a Shiny Pokémon and the other may not.
