Shiny Pokémon are extremely rare Pokémon that differ in coloration from their regular appearance. These color variations may range from minor hue adjustments to completely altered palettes. Only one shiny variation exists for each Pokémon.

The in-game RNG determines if wild-spawned and Raid Pokémon are Shiny for each player'southward case separately; thus a Shiny Pokémon from the same spawn betoken may not, and most likely will not, appear shiny to other Trainers.
