Shiny Pokémon

Understanding Shiny Spawn Rates

To understand how shiny spawn rates work, you first need an understanding of how spawners work. Read the Spawn Rates guide before continuing.

In almost every case, the shiny rate is a constant value set by the server and map. It applies to every Pokémon on every spawner, with a few exceptions. By default it is 1/2000, and boosts and events can raise it. You can see the current rate in the server section of the escape menu, and it updates to match the map you are on.

The Rarity of Shiny Pokémon

To work out how rare a particular shiny Pokémon is, you need to multiply the spawn rate by the shiny rate.

The Exceptions

Some Pokémon have a "fixed" or "locked" shiny rate, meaning they are either always shiny or never shiny. We show this on the wiki in the spawn notes.

• Crystal Onix has a fixed spawn rate of 1/100,000 and a fixed shiny rate of 1/1, so it always spawns shiny. Don't confuse it with the regular Onix, which has a 1/20 spawn rate and follows the normal shiny rate.
• White Dratini works the same way, with a fixed spawn rate. It is always shiny when it appears.
• Poké Ball Pokémon such as the starters, fossils and Hitmons have fixed stats. Everyone gets the same nature, size and IVs, and they are never shiny.

Shiny Variations

Pokémon MMO 3D has shiny variants. Every Pokémon has a shiny version, and some have more than one.

Shiny variants go from 1, the standard one, to 10. The variant number does not represent rarity, so a star 10 isn't rarer than a star 1. The odds of finding a star 10 Vulpix are the same as a star 1. Not all Pokémon have 10 variants.

Availability Labels

Some shiny Pokémon are only available under special conditions or via events. Here are the labels used on the wiki:
