Shiny hunting on Discord

Any Pokémon that spawns in your server can be shiny. Here's how to find more of them, and what happens when you do.

How shinies show up

Pokémon spawn while your server chats, and every spawn has a small chance to be shiny. You'll know right away, since the spawn picture shows its shiny colors with sparkles on top.

Wild spawns aren't the only place to look. Eggs can hatch shiny, shiny fish bite now and then, and event Pokémon have shiny versions too.

Catch one and it gets posted to your server's starboard and the global starboard that every PokeCom server can see.

Better odds

Pick a Pokémon to shiny hunt and your odds on that one go up. Turn on shiny pings for it and the bot will ping you when it spawns, so you're not the last one to the channel.

Incense gives you a quick burst of spawns. Buy it with the shiny boost and every spawn in that burst has a better shot at being shiny.

Breeding helps too. A shiny egg pays out extra credits on top of the Pokémon.

Finding your shinies later

Your Pokémon list takes filters, so you don't have to scroll through everything to find them.

@pokecom p --shAll your shinies.
@pokecom p --sh --legendaryJust the shiny legendaries.
@pokecom p --sh --iv >= 90 --order levelShinies with 90% IVs or more, highest level first.
@pokecom p --filtersThe full list of filters.

Favorite the ones you'd never part with. Favorites can't be released, listed or auctioned, so nothing goes by accident.
