Of the 153 controlled encounters, 3 shiny Absol appeared. This is not sufficient to approximate any boosted shiny rate for Absol, but it is sufficient to confirm that its encounters also had a higher shiny rate than the base shiny rate of 1 in 450. Curiously, the Aerodactyl shiny rate from Field Research was indistinguishable from its Raid boss shiny rate during this event².Ībsol encounters are rarer, but Researchers have still managed to acquire and record 153 reward encounters. With a 95% confidence interval of 1 in 50 to 1 in 70 for this encounter type. This gives a shiny rate of approximately: With that data two clearly boosted rates from Field Research appeared: Aerodactyl and Absol!ĭuring Adventure Week, an Aerodactyl encounter was rewarded for completing the task “ Evolve an Omanyte or Kabuto.” Silph Researchers completed 6,390 of these tasks and found 108 shiny Aerodactyl in the process. Research is still actively ongoing to determine whether all reward encounters have a higher shiny rate than the wild encounters, but the advent of Adventure Week afforded Silph Researchers a rare chance to collect a high volume of encounter rewards for two species. Several potentially shiny Pokémon have made an appearance as Field Research rewards since the feature’s release in late March 2018. The final shiny rate boost left to explore is in Pokemon acquired from Field Research encounters. Recall from Part 2of the Shiny Hunt, the two originally “Raid-exclusive” Pokémon (Mawile and Absol) also had a boosted shiny rate above their Raid boss peers.Īs a matter of fact, the shiny rate for baby Pokémon is surprisingly similar to the shiny rates for the boosted Raid bosses Aerodactyl, Mawile, and Absol! Is it possible that at least two of these categories are using the same boosted shiny rate? Field Research (Quest) Encounter Rewards So what’s so special about baby Pokémon? These are the only available shiny Pokémon currently in the game that are “ egg-exclusive“. This leads to a rate of roughly:įor baby Pokémon hatches, with 95% confidence interval that the actual shiny rate for baby Pokémon is between 1 in 35 and 1 in 70. In all, our researchers hatched 1,442 baby Pokémon (specifically) over the course of this controlled study, of which 31 were shiny. For reference, the available shiny baby Pokémon are Magby, Pichu, Togepi, and Wynaut. There is a significant difference in shiny rate between baby Pokémon hatches and all other possible shiny Pokémon from eggs¹. However, in this analysis one surprising discovery did clearly emerge! New Discovery: Baby Pokémon Shiny Rate Boost Thus far, it remains unclear whether the base shiny rate for egg hatches is higher than the base wild encounter shiny rate of 1 in 450, but the data suggest a slightly higher base rate than in Wild Encounters. Since the Halloween 2017 Event, our Silph Researchers have donned their walking shoes and hatched 6,000+ eggs whose species had available shinies. Hatching an egg on the Road is often a pleasant surprise – but one of the most exciting surprises in Pokémon GO is hatching a shiny Pokémon! In this third and final installment in our series, we share new discoveries of boosted shiny rates in both: Egg Hatches and Field Research Encounters. But there remain two additional ways to acquire shiny Pokémon we have not yet examined! Next, a variety of boosted Raid boss shiny rates were discovered and a more accurate Community Day shiny rate was calculated ( see Part II). To date in our The Shiny Hunt series, the base shiny rate for Wild Encounters was first revealed to be roughly 1 in 450 ( see Part I).
