Comment: Hi there - unfortunately this article doesn't qualify for the mainspace because it concerns subject matter that hasn't proven to be notable. This means that it lacks significant coverage from reliable secondary sources to warrant its own article. 'Shinies' and similar sorts of subject matter are commonly called cruft and are typically not given their own article as they are better addressed in the gameplay sections of the games that use them. Happy to chat on my talk page if you need any guidance or help. Thanks! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:29, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
I am going to add my own image here: The image will contain 2 Whimsicott, one shiny, one not shiny. This is my solution for the current image that is used which does not show a non shiny version of the pokemon. A second image will be made showing the little shiny marker in the summary screen of the pokemon. To keep in line with the last image. It will be again, a Whimsicott. I know that there is bias because Whimsicott is my favorite pokemon, but Zubat isnt in pokemon scarlet and violet and I already have a shiny Whimsicott, which will save a lot of time for making the image because I don't need to test my luck.
Shiny Pokémon (光るポケモン, Shining Pokémon) were first introduced in Gold and Silver as a way to demonstrate the new color capabilities of the Game Boy Color system. These are Pokémon that have a different coloration than normal; in earlier games, this was often done by means of a palette swap.[citation needed] Encountering a Shiny Pokémon is extremely rare; the probability under normal conditions is 1 in 8,192 on the GBA and DS titles, and 1 in 4096 on the 3DS and Switch titles.[1] Some Pokémon, however, are coded never to be Shiny; this is known as being "Shiny-locked".[citation needed] Shiny-locked Pokémon cannot be caught in normal play, but they can be obtained in limited time events. Shiny-locked Pokémon started to appear in Pokémon Black and White and became more prevalent starting from Pokémon Sword and Shield. For example, Zacian and Zamazenta initially could not be owned Shiny, but later on, an event made it possible to obtain their Shiny forms via Mystery Gift.[citation needed] In contrast Victini could never be shiny and the only way to obtain a shiny version is by hacking it in the game.
Some Pokémon are guaranteed to be shiny; most famously the red Gyarados in Pokémon Gold and Silver and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.[citation needed]
The term "Shiny" used to be unofficial. The first time it fell into official use in an English-language game is from a 2009 event distribution of a Shiny Milotic.[2]
There are ways to increase the odds of finding a Shiny Pokémon. Usually these methods only last for one game, but one method that has been available since Pokémon Diamond and Pearl is by breeding a Pokémon with another Pokémon from a different language. This method is called the "Masuda Method": named after the Gamefreak employee who revealed the method. [citation needed] Another widespread method is an item called the shiny charm that increases shiny odds to 1 in 1365.67, which is obtained after completing the Pokedex. [citation needed]
Some famous shiny Pokémon include:
Charizard, which has its body change from a red-orange to black.
Gyarados, which has its body change from blue to red.
