Shinys are among the rarest monsters in Pokémon GO. Diligent collectors have already caught some specimens. Therefore, we want to know: How many Shinys have you caught?
These are Shinys: This special version of Pokémon looks different from the normal monster. It always has a different color and is significantly rarer to obtain.
During special events, such as the Community Day or Raid Days, there are better chances of finding a Shiny. Those who play a lot on such days are likely to have caught several Shinys.

How rare are Shinys? It depends on where you catch them. Legendary Pokémon from raids have a significantly higher Shiny chance than normal Pokémon in the wild.
There are also differences with babies from eggs or Pokémon that are already quite rare in the wild. The chances are also better there.
A normal Pokémon in the wild has a Shiny chance of 1 in 450. So theoretically, you would need to challenge 450 Pokémon of a specimen to find a Shiny.
You can find all the probabilities here in the overview: With this probability, you can obtain Shinys in Pokémon GO.
Where can I see my Shinys? You need to enter the term “shiny” in the search bar for your Pokémon. Then you will see all the Shinys that you have ever caught, hatched, or traded. The total number of Shinys will also be shown at the top left of your screen.
