Shiny Pokémon

Shiny Pokémon are Pokémon that have an unnatural coloration. The coloration can be mild—only a few shades darker or lighter than the original—or drastic. They are not to be confused with Boss Pokémon, which are tinted differently than Shiny Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a very rare (1/4,096 by default) chance of being Shiny, and Shiny Pokémon are much sought after for their unique look and rarity. A Shiny coloration gives no advantage in battle, however. A Shiny Pokémon will emit particles and have a star under its level while in battle with a trainer. Wild Shiny Pokémon will not engage in battle with other wild Pokémon.

Every shiny Pokémon will have golden names.

If two breeding Pokémon have differing original Trainers, their Eggs have double the normal chance of hatching into Shiny Pokémon.

It is possible to spawn a Shiny Pokémon by using the command "/pokespawn Pokémon s". For example, "/pokespawn pikachu s".

You can increase the chance of Shiny Pokemon appearing by using a Shiny Charm, increasing the chance of them appearing from 1/4096 to 3/4096, roughly around 1/1365. Another way to increase shinies appearing is to use a Weak Shiny Lure for a 1.22x shiny multiplier, Or A Strong Shiny Lure, which provides a 1.73x shiny multiplier.

Config settings

• "Shiny spawn rate": The rarity of Shiny Pokémon spawning in the wild (1/x).

Trivia

• It is possible for a Pokémon to be both a Shiny Pokémon and a boss Pokémon. This is typically only feasible through the /pokespawn command; it is extremely rare (1/2,048,000 chance) for this to happen naturally. However, this distinction is inconsequential as boss Pokémon cannot be captured.
