Q&A

What Is a Shiny Pokemon?

A shiny Pokemon is an extremely rare alternate color of a Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon are sought after fans of the games because of how rare it is to obtain one, and because some shinies look truly epic. The odds finding a shiny Pokemon in Generation 2 - Generation 5 of Pokemon are 1/8192. The odds of finding a shiny was changed however to 1/4096.
Example of a non-shiny versus a shiny:

Normal Charizard |||| Shiny Charizard
