Shiny hunting right now
3 shinies with better odds than a normal wild encounter today, plus any that just debuted. Each one links to its page, and the badge says whether the shiny is a battler or a trophy. The rates below are what the community has measured, since Niantic does not publish them.
S Ultra5-star raids · until Mon, Nov 16 · About 1 in 20 per raid
Trophy onlyMega raids · until Mon, Nov 16 · About 1 in 20 per raid
C MasterShadow 5-star raids · until Mon, Nov 16 · About 1 in 20 per raid
Rates are community measurements, not published by Niantic. Event shiny lists by LeekDuck.com; raid bosses via ScrapedDuck. Times are local.
The usual odds
- Wild: about 1 in 512. Some species are permanently boosted to about 1 in 64 (most baby-egg lines, a few rares such as Feebas and Sableye).
- Event-boosted wild spawns: about 1 in 128.
- Community Day: about 1 in 25 for the featured Pokemon during the event hours.
- 5-star, Mega and Shadow legendary raids: about 1 in 20. Raid Days: about 1 in 10.
- Research, eggs and Rocket leaders: usually the wild rate for that species; shiny research encounters are guaranteed only when the task says so.
A shiny of a species with no battle role is still worth keeping as a trophy; the guide explains how the verdicts treat shinies.
