Talk:Shiny Pokémon/@comment-1691682-20120101230058/@comment-24.236.218.102-20120101232501

I used to be in a statistics class, but i forgot evarything so all i can tell you is there is a 1/8000 chance that any given pokemon will be a shiny one. That doesnt mean that youll see 8000 pokemon and 1 will be shiny... it could be far more or far less.
