Shiny Pokémon

A Pokémon that has a different colour than a typical Pokémon of its species is classified as a "Shiny" Pokémon. This is denoted with a gold star next to the Pokémon's name. These Pokémon are considered extremely rare, and thus are considered to be very valuable.

Obtaining a Shiny

It is possible to hatch a Shiny Pokémon from an Egg completely at random. However, the odds of this happening are extremely low. There are methods to improve one's odds of hatching a Shiny Pokémon, such as use of a PokéRadar and Hypermode. Employment of these methods in search of a Shiny Pokémon is referred to as Shiny Hunting.

Shiny Dex

As you gather more and more Shiny Pokémon into your care, your ShinyDex will keep track of any and all Shiny Pokémon you meet, and mark them in your PokéDex. The more you complete the ShinyDex, the higher your associated Class will reach; from a blank class at 0, all the way to "SHINY" at full completion.
