A Shiny Pokémon is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Large overhauls to this system were made in 0.59, results in previous versions may vary.

== Standard Rate ==
Shininess is determined and saved independently off all other stats. Most shininess calculations use the same base rate referred to in the code as the "Master Shiny Rate" (MSR). This starts initially at 1/4096. Obtaining the [[Shiny Charm]] will give a 25% boost to the MSR in all calculations it is used for. This makes the rate 3072. In addition mystery event can be activated to give a boost to the MSR.

== Breeding ==
Shininess gets additional boosts when breeding based on how many parents are already shiny:

{| class="wikitable"
!
! No Shiny Charm
! Shiny Charm
|-
| No Shiny Parents (x1)
| 1/4096
| 1/3072
|-
| 1 Shiny Parent (x6)
| 3/2048 ~1/683
| 1/512
|-
| 2 Shiny Parents (x12)
| 3/1024 ~1/341
| 1/256
|}

== Scripting ==
The engine allows for many several options for working with shininess through scripting:

* @Battle.wild() - The third argument is a boolean for shininess.
* @Pokemon.add() - The last of the nine possible arguments is a boolean for shininess.
* @Pokemon.addtostorage() - The last of the nine possible arguments is a boolean for shininess.
* @Pokemon.setshiny() - Sets the shininess for a given Pokemon in the party.
* @pokemon.newroaming() - The last of the 6 arguments is a boolean for shininess.
* <daycare.shinyindicator()> - Returns N for not shiny S for shiny based on the specified daycare's specified pokemon.
* <pokemon.isshiny()> - Returns a bool based on the given party member's shinyness.

In addition; the @battle.wild command, @pokemon.add/addtostorage commands and the trainer listings in the .trainer files take the full pokemon data string which allows for setting the shiny value.

== Shiny locks and gauranteed shinys ==

The following pokemon are guaranteed to be NOT shiny:

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| {{MS|201}} [[Unown]] x8

|}

== Shiny Candy ==
This item will turn any pokemon given it shiny permanently. Originally obtainable in [[Hidden Grottos], the shiny candy was removed in version 0.54 due to excessive abuse of several glitches to farm large amounts of the candy. It was reintroduced in Version 0.59 as a reward for logging in with GameJolt 30 days. The item is now capped at having no more than one at a time to help prevent abuse.

== Shiny Hunting Special encounters ==

Most times that a Pokemon appears in the overworld before you battle or receive it, that pokemon will appear shiny. Their shiny ness is often determined when loading into the map they are located on. This makes some Pokemon easier to shiny hunt and some harder based on where they are in relation to the entrance to their map. Here is a listing of all Pokemon with these conditions and where and when to save to optimize shiny hunting them.
