Shiny

Durable rare encounters across all 251 Gen I/II species.

How to get one

Every defeated eligible Pokémon makes a random Shiny roll for that species (#1–#251). The Kanto hard-pity ceilings by tier are E 1,500, D 2,000, C 3,000, B 4,500, A 7,500, S 12,000 eligible defeats; Outland uses twice those values. Soft pity begins halfway and grows quadratically until the guaranteed ceiling. Existing defeat history seeds the first area-specific pity counter. Reconnecting or changing maps cannot reroll, reset, or duplicate progress. Shiny Secret Lure and the Shiny Streak track accelerate pity; VIP does not change it.
Catching a shiny uses a flat per-tier chance × the Poké Ball strength — the normal-capture investment meter does not apply. Defeating the Shiny creates a capture opportunity. Auto-Catch Shiny is opt-in, uses its separately configured ball and follows the access policy shown in Auto-Helper.
Want a guaranteed path? Collect Shiny Cards and summon the shiny battle at the Altar.

💡 Shiny Pokémon do NOT evolve — the Shiny appearance belongs to the captured form.
