And I don't even have the charm yet.

So far I have:

  • Mareep (the one you get from the side mission, but it counts)
  • Ariados (found as a Spinarak basically right away after the Mareep side mission)
  • Flabb (yellow flower)
  • Pidgey (just caught this one)


I heard the shiny chime for the Pidgey while I was walking past a Pokemon Center and didn't see anything, thought it was on a rooftop and parkour'd my way up there and didn't find anything, then saw it just chilling on a lamp post lol'ing at me until it took a Pokeball to the face

Not sure if I'm just lucky or if they increased the spawn rate for shinies in this one but either way I'll take it

Shiny rates have definitely increased. The basis for shinies this game is the more Pokemon you see, the more chances you have that you can spawn a shiny.

I did the zone 3 automation for 45 minutes and got 6 shinies, gotten some wild shiny spawns, farmed shinies in zone 13 while trying to hunt for Larvitar (currently at phase 5), and in total I've gotten 17 shinies so far and that's without the guaranteed Mareep.

I haven't been looking for shinnies yet but I've found five, including the Mareep.

A Floette that I evolved to Florges (orange, the worst variant), an Elektrike, a Skiddo and a Weedle.

I have like a box and a half of various shinies from farming for specific ones for my team. Day 4 of trying to get a Hawlucha.

It's similar to S/V; the rates are the same, still 1/4096, but so many Pokemon spawn and it's easy to respawn them so you have more rolls at that 1/4096.

Shiny charm is also better in this game, presumably because it's the only method to increase shiny odds. Raises it to 1/1024 instead of the typical 1/2048.
