Shiny palette¶

The classic rare recolor. Shiny Pokemon can turn up almost anywhere a Pokemon appears, at different odds depending on the source.

Where shinies come from¶

Source	Odds
Wild spawns	1 in 8,000
Catching Type Zones	1 in 15,000
On catch, at Catching level 99	1 in 8,000
Legendary battles	1 in 1,000
Supreme Boss reward copy	1 in 50

Boosts¶

Server Shiny Event: improves the wild and Type Zone rate by about 20% while it is live.
Donor rank: improves your wild shiny roll, from +1% at Poke up to +10% at Gilded (Great +2%, Ultra +3.5%, Beast +5%, Master +7.5%). It stacks on top of the event boost. It does not apply to Type Zone spawns, PokeParty spawns, the legendary-battle roll, or the on-catch perk, which all use flat odds.
Catching prestige: the on-catch shiny perk improves as you prestige Catching, from 1 in 8,000 at level 99 to 1 in 6,000 at prestige 3 and 1 in 4,000 at prestige 7. A freshly prestiged player below level 99 (prestige 1 or 2) has no on-catch roll until they hit prestige 3.

A handful of multi-form species (Vivillon, Flabebe, Floette, Florges, and Alcremie) roll a random shiny variant look instead of the single standard shiny.
