How RARE are SHINY Pokémon? Pokémon GO Shiny Rate Explained

[@CraynosGaming]

I value and appreciate you taking the time to explain the shiny rate ratios. In fact, I will be spending less money moving forward. Thank you for taking the time to explain and provide details on your recent videos. I am enjoying them.

Thanks for making this video, I feel like it's an important PSA to teach/remind people of how these hidden game mechanics work. The probability/statistics behind shiny encounter rates can be pretty misleading for setting people's gameplay expectations, and it's important to remember that there's never a 100% guarantee that you'll find a shiny (outside of the occasional special research reward, like the shiny Mew, Ditto, and Gyarados encounters)

[@patswz]

I just really wanna share that when Nick talked about the blue dog, it hit me in my soul because I’m at 130 raids - most of which were remote - trying for a shiny Rockruff and I still don’t have a shiny. So yeah, at your own caution, folks, you don’t always get rewarded. It was the exact same with Axew, about 90 raids and 40 wild encounters, as a ticket holder, and no shiny. I reap what I sow.

[@jokershotaro]

Mine was no luck on raid but i got shiny rockruff on GBL reward..

I think a way Niantic could seriously improve the game is to gradually increase the shiny rate of a pokemon the more you catch that pokemon, and it resets when you finally catch it.

[@GodammitNappa]

Ya, niantic's idea behind shinies really just doesnt make sense for the game they want to make. They try and make it feel like shiny hunting in the pokmon games but its not the same. There is no time limit in the games, stardust is not a required resource, and you can keep resetting the game until your legend is shiny. they truly just infuriate large portions of their players. Good luck either way on the shinies you want!

[@ciircuz]

@@GodammitNappa it absolutely makes sense to make - r a r e - pokemon's shiny rare and commons common. Hello?

[@GodammitNappa]

@@ciircuz rare i guess. But if you can only get a shiny via an in game currency that requires money to get otherwise then now its not rare its expensive. And actually there isn't a reason to make shinies rare, that is just the mentality we've been taught since day one. Very simple market mindset :) it's only rare because they make it rare. If every pokemon was more easily shinied it wouldn't be rare anymore. Hence rarity is made up and determined.

[@RGC_animation]

Fun Fact: Even Pokemon GO's base shiny rate is already very very high compared to the main series games, in present games, the shiny rate unboosted is 1 in 4096, while in older games, it is a whopping 1 in 8192! Shiny Pokemon are supposed to be a very rare occurrence that happens maybe one or twice in your lifetime, but since people do be liking their different colored dogs, Niantic decided to boost the shiny rate.

[@goldengorilla9522]

That’s cool 😎

[@InZomnia365]

It's more so because in the games you can force encounters with a specific Pokemon in a specific area. You can't do that in Pokemon Go other than community days etc. Which is why the shiny rate during a community day is so high.

[@pb99-z3r]

Super helpful, also love watching your vids to stay on top of these events. Great information always

[@pokemom2713]

Thank you so much for this video! This explains a lot, like why everyone in my family has shiny Onix! I played when the game debuts but fell off as it became too hard to progress, before shinies came to the game, then started again during lockdown for my son, and my first day I caught a shiny Miltank and thought it was just a different gender like Nidoran. Took a few weeks to realize what I had caught. Knowing this helps understand the system so much better. Today’s event seemed to be very heavily favoring the shiny Shieldon over Cranidos, at least for us, but this event did not seem to have any issues like Go Fest did, we all caught a shiny in the “boosted” research rewards, in fact several of the Shieldon, one of us also got shiny Cranidos, and everyone got several Tyrunt, but only one Amaura, but it felt like a normal event.

[@ExistGodly]

When he said “is that little blue dog really worth $200 to you?” I felt attacked 😅😂 I did 100 Houndoom raids & did not get a SINGLE Blue Doggo 😂 FeelsBad but never again

[@Ivanovichx]

Thank you for this video Nick. People need to know this is a gamble and casinos wouldn't be a profitable business if clients won all the time. The main problem is something I've noticed since a long time ago, people's perception on how many things they catch/check is a lot higher than what they actually do. I noticed people think they check like 1000 and when they look up the actual number, they see they only encountered like half. It’s normal, perception is a bi***. Happens a lot when raiding legendaries for shinies. You may think you have raided like 50 but then you actually check and it’s only like 30. People, check carefully your numbers, analyze the shiny rate and how many hours you would have to put on average to get the shiny you want, and then evaluate if it's worth your time. My main problem with this game is that events are mostly full of old stuff and the new and interesting stuff doesn't spawn too much. Which makes it harder to get a reasonable amounts of checks in. GO fest had a ton of starters I am a bit sick of at this point. But overall I had fun during GO fest. In my opinion, it was 100 times better than GO fest 2020. I remember that one being incense locked. I hated that. What I enjoyed about 2022 was that I was able to go hard if I wanted to. If I wanted a certain shiny, I had in my power just walking faster. In 2020, I was just waiting and hoping the next incense spawn would be what I wanted to check.

[@curtiz_20]

Pokemon GO still has the best base shiny odds in all of the pokemon games. I would say Pokemon GO is pretty lenient in handing out shinies whether you think so or not. Just remember: if you have at least 20 or more shinies and complain about not having more, Niantic could have gone the more extreme route and made Pokemon GO the same odds as the core games( Base odds being 1/8192 from gen 2-5, and 1/4096 from gen 6-8 and probably 9). Of course, you were able to increase these odds, but the best way in most cases is to complete the Pokedex, and I'm certain people wouldn't spend thousands to travel in order to complete the Pokedex on a free game for the shiny rate to go from 1/4096 to 1/1365.

[@cameo7]

7:55 That 61% is referring to a permaboosted shinies in general right? With eggs, it will be even less because of the possibility of hatching other pokemon in the egg pool

[@trnrtips]

Correct, you'd have to hatch that specific Pokémon 64 times, not just 64 eggs.

[@codystromsness2130]

I raided 3 raids for shiny rockruff when it 1st came out and didn't get it from raids I hatched it from a 10km egg so what was the shiny rockruff hate rate vs the shinh raid rate for it? Alot of my shiny that i didnt get from raids I ended up hatching it feels sometimes hatching has a higher shiny rate of the event pokemon from its respected event egg

[@Beoron]

@@codystromsness2130 the shiny rate is per pokemom regardless of how you get it. Wild, raid, egg, research, rockruff (and any other Pokémon) will be the same chance outside of a special event.

I'll be perfectly honest here, when Regirock had its shiny released for Go, I think I did not get my shiny until at least 56-57 raids, I tried going for a double shortly after but failed until recently they came out with Regi's rock/ice and steel with new legacy moves, I think I got four shiny Regirock when it came back with earthquake as it's legacy move.. shiny luck is well all just depends on luck lol

[@ultralysp]

FINALLY! A major tier KZbin creator explaining shiny rates and probabilities. I’ve seen too many people rage quit the game for weeks after not getting what they thought "was promised them".

[@LatteDude1]

Thanks for the video, Nick. It’s good for folks to get an understanding about rates and the true likelihood of getting a shiny. A few things I wanted to point out:: - you mention Legendarys having the highest rate. I believe you meant to say highest chance of getting shiny, which is opposite of the rate (lowest in this case). Additionally, Mythicals (in 5 Star raids) fall in this category too. - while it is almost certainly correct that each species has its own assigned shiny rate, that doesn’t mean that rate necessarily applies to anything beyond wild catches. Take for example Shadows. Niantic certainly has an catch origin type (Shadow) that overrides the species base rate. In fact, the 9db site you reference strongly suggests that 1:500 species have a lower shiny rate in raids (1:128 or 1:256). Niantic likely had a ceiling cap setting for raids so as not to exceed a certain rate. No study exists to suggest that full 1:500 species are same in raids. - the last point is Niantic’s RNG. Your point about some folks being really unlucky is valid, however, we really should test out their RNG to see if it’s solid and truly random. This includes testing distributions and other factors. A lot of anecdotal evidence suggests that there are just too many so-called very unlucky folks which is akin to many winning huge lotteries.

Thank you for explaining the shiny rate. It's a good refresher. I think the biggest disappointment is that we PAID to participate in GoFest and the shiny rates were so bad. My weekend was good, but so many of my friends paid to participate and got one or two or no shinys. I finally decided I'm tired of giving Niantic money for disappointing events.

[@jeremychristian5409]

It's not disappointing on their end. It's just you paid for the event wishing you'd get a lot of shinies but it's never guaranteed. I always walked away from a niantic event (3 gofest + 2 tours) with 45+ shinies, but only because I didn't catch, didn't talk to anyone, just shiny checking hundreds then thousands of mon walking fast like a madman. That's not enjoyable. If you want to enjoy your gofest, Play with friends, catch mons you need candy or XL for, chat in the meantime, by all means do all this. But set a very realistic expectation when you buy the ticket that unless you play specifically with a shiny hunting mindset and playstyle, you would have to be very lucky to even reach 10 shinies.

[@Elfsong8]

@@jeremychristian5409 I get that. I have been playing mostly solo since C-19. Not by choice, but that's how it has ended up. I'm mostly just shiny checking and I do okay with most events. I don't do raids during events unless it's a special one. But am disappointed for friends who didn't do as well. I finished off GoFest with 20 shinys, all but one was new to me.

[@jackfenton7320]

Hi there, math guy here. This is known as a Geometric Distribution. The odds of not getting a shiny for the first 178 and then getting it on the 179th are simply (19/20)^178 * (1/20) = 0.000005417161032 or 0.00054% If you just wanted the odds of not getting it at all after 178 that would be (19/20)^178 = 0.011%

[@playfultitan3086]

The whole issue is that Niantic stated there would be an "increased shiny odds" for Go Fest and well it didn't feel like it. Kanto Tour and Johto Tour felt like they had better odds and they weren't a two day event. Not to mention a lot of Pokémon disappeared from incense spawns plus Grunts prevented you from checking a lot of lured spawns. Even if you battled them by the time you would check the lure spawn it would disappear.

[@cassioamorim1348]

I have done these calculations myself long ago using infered shiny rates we hear about, and I am always warning friends about this. I think it is a great service you do by spelling it out in KZbin for more people. Btw, if anyone wonders, I double checked every number Nick said in the video with my spreadsheet and they all match. So yeah, they are quite right, in case anyone is doubting. So yeah, about 1 in 20 people will do 60 legendary raids and still get nothing, like Nick and rayquaza. Others might do 20 raids and come up with 3 black rayquaza 😉😬 Edit: if 's' is the shiny rate, and 'n' is the number of encounters, the chance to find at least 1 shiny is 1 - (1 - s)^n. Breaking down, (1 - s) is the chance of *not* finding a shiny, so (1 - s)^n is the chance of not finding a single shiny in n encounters. Therefore, 1 - (1 - s)^n is the chance to find at least 1 shiny.

I think the easiest way to explain shiny checks is to look at them as dice rolls. Everytime you shiny check a Pokémon, you're rolling a die with 500 sides (or 64, or 15, etc.). 499 of them say "NON SHINY" and only 1 side says "SHINY". Just because you roll that die 500 times, doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get the "SHINY" side even once. A lot of people tend to think of shiny checks as rolling that 500 sided die, but every time they get a non shiny, one side of that die gets removed. I'm not sure why...but that's how most people seem to think of probability working.

[@ronnyrdr6553]

Thanks for the quick numbers 😎👍

[@ThedomiNATION]

I went 214 raids to get shiny Heracross when it was released for ultra bonus last year. After going that many raids and spending that much money for a simple pink bug, I realized it just wasn’t worth it anymore. So I went free to play and haven’t spent money on poke coins since (I still buy the $1 community day tickets and tickets for GO Fest or GO Tour events). I have way more enjoyment with the game now becuase going over odds for a shiny when you spend that much money is awful. Going over odds when you are justing using free passes is no big deal. And getting a shiny under odds while only using free raid passes is such a great feeling when before getting a shiny under odds that I spent money for was only relieving.

As an avid shiny collector, I can almost certainly say that they boost raid shinies like Pikachu costumes in certain events such as conductor costume for the UK event.
