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 the user gathers more and more Shiny Pokémon into their care, their ShinyDex will keep track of any and all Shiny Pokémon they meet, and mark the Pokémon in the user's PokéDex. The more the user completes the ShinyDex, the higher their associated Class will reach; from a blank class at 0, all the way to "SHINY" at full completion.
