Shiny Sprites

Every Wild catchable Pokémon has a 0.0125% chance of being a Shiny Pokémon. Most Pokémon have had their shiny forms made available by other means. Some via Mystery Gift, or Daily Gift, in Game Corner, or as prizes for completing levels or Achievements. You can also use SnD Coins to adopt many from the Adoption Center. They have a different colored sprite compared to normal Pokémon, have a shine effect. To find a particular shiny Pokémon use the find function (ctrl+f).

Trivia

 * At one point Sam made finding shiny Pokémon unavailable in the wild to edit it to prevent hacking shinies until he re-released them in version 4.9.
