色違いのポケモンは、通常とは異なった色を持つポケモンである。 色合いは柔らかい色のことも、元の色より数色だけ暗くするか明るくなることも、または大胆になることもある。
色違いのポケモンだが捕まえることができないボスポケモンと混同しないようにしよう。 すべてのポケモンは非常に稀な確率 (デフォルトでは14,096)で色違いが出現し、そのユニークな見た目と希少性から非常に人気がある。
A Shiny coloration gives no advantage in battle, with the effect being purely cosmetic. A Shiny Pokémon will emit particles and have a star under its level while in battle with a trainer. Shinies will have a golden name tag as well. Wild Shiny Pokémon will not engage in battle with other wild Pokémon.
If two breeding Pokémon have differing original Trainers, their Eggs have double the normal chance of hatching into Shiny Pokémon. You can also increase the chance of Shiny Pokemon appearing by using a Shiny Charm, increasing the chance of them appearing from 1/4096 to 3/4096, roughly around 1/1365. Another way to increase shinies appearing is to use a Weak Shiny Lure for a 1.22x shiny multiplier, or a Strong Shiny Lure for a 1.73x shiny multiplier.
It is possible to spawn a Shiny Pokémon by using the "/pokespawn Pokémon s" command, e.g. "/pokespawn Pikachu s".
Config settings
- "Shiny spawn rate": The rarity of Shiny Pokémon spawning in the wild (1x).
Trivia
- It is possible for a Pokémon to be both a Shiny Pokémon and a boss Pokémon. This is typically only feasible through the /pokespawn command; it is extremely rare (12,048,000 chance) for this to happen naturally. However, this distinction is inconsequential as boss Pokémon cannot be captured.
