Depending on the type of Shiny Pok\u00e9mon you are after, the odds of finding one are drastically different depending on your method of hunting and catching one. For example, catching a wild Pok\u00e9mon is one of the hardest ways to get a Shiny, whereas a 5-star Raid gives you the best odds you could ask for. With veteran players constantly trying to complete their Shiny Pok\u00e9dex in Pok\u00e9mon Go, knowing the ever-changing rates is vital to know the best ways\u2014 and odds\u2014 you have in finding the different colored variant Pok\u00e9mon out there. So what exactly are they? What are the Shiny Rates in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Depending on the type of Pok\u00e9mon you are encountering, and when you find it, different Shiny rates might be active. These are just a few of the examples you might come across: Shiny Odds Encounter 1\/512 The base rate for any wild spawn Pok\u00e9mon. 1\/256 Certain Shadow Pok\u00e9mon from Team Go Rocket Grunts. 1\/128 Mega Raid Pok\u00e9mon, or specific Pok\u00e9mon like Meltan when its Shiny form is live during timed events. 1\/64 Certain Shadow Pok\u00e9mon from Team Rocket Go Leaders, Pok\u00e9mon that rarely spawn in the wild (such as Baby Pok\u00e9mon), Paid Ticketed Research Pok\u00e9mon 1\/25 Unconfirmed, but rumored to be Paid Ticketed events like Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest, as well as Community Day rates 1\/20 Pok\u00e9mon from 5-Star Raids such as Legendaries, Mythicals, and Ultra Beasts when their Shiny variant is live. These are the basic odds, but with different events and changes always a possibility, they might not always stay the same. For example, certain Egg events might boost certain km of Eggs to have an increased Shiny Odd for about a week. All that said, it's best to pay attention to the weekly events to get an idea of the best way to get a Shiny Pok\u00e9mon.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Shiny-Lucario-art-Pokemon-Scarlet-and-Violet.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155663"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/916"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1155663"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155663\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1156356,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1155663\/revisions\/1156356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1058520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1155663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1155663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1155663"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1155663"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1155663"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1155663"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1155663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
