You can see Desu (PokeMMO Developer) comment about it here.

In theory, this means that when you encounter a horde of either 2x Pokémon, 3x Pokémon or 5x Pokémon, your chances would be increased to 2/30000 equal to 1/15000 (2x horde), 3/30000 equal to 1/10000 (3x horde) or approximately 5/30000 equal to 1/6000 (5x horde) that one of the Pokémon will be shiny. In fact, when you encounter a Pokémon horde, each of the (2x, 3x or 5x) encountered Pokémon will have their own chance to be shiny (1/30000 per Pokémon). Sweet Scent can be used almost anywhere (grass, water, ground etc.) to bring forward a horde of Pokémon (2x, 3x or even 5x Pokémon at the same time). The best (and fastest) way to increase your chances in regards of shiny hunting is using the Sweet Scent move ( ) to encounter hordes. The best way to increase your chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon: In addition, a binomial distribution estimates that 50% of the player base should find their shiny by 20979 encounters (in a population sample with 1/30000 shiny rate) or 18712 encounters (in a population sample with 1/27000 shiny rate).Īnother interesting read into the table shows that even at 300,000 encounters, there is no guarantee that you meet a shiny (99.995% that you should have met a shiny by 300,000 encounters with a 1/30000 rate) - but that is in the extreme coincidences. In summary, this shows the odds of finding a shiny (in percentage) based on the amount of encounters you have (based on a binomial distribution (X = 1-(1-(shiny_rate_in_numbers)) (amount_of_encounters))).For instance, you will have a 67.08% (with donator) or 63.21% (without donator) to encounter/hatch a shiny within 30000 encounters based on this estimation. If you want your shiny, you have to be dedicated and patient. Whenever a shiny Pokémon appears it will appear with its alternative color, a sparkle and with 'Shiny' in front of its name:īinomial distribution of shiny hunting in PokeMMO. This means that even if you are at your FIRST encounter or your 123456th encounter, the chance is still either 1/30000, 1/27000 etc. The system doesn't track your encounters. Important to remember: There is no stacking of encounters in PokeMMO Thus, it is ONLY possible to breed a Shiny Pokémon with a Shiny Pokémon in PokeMMO - If both parents are Shiny, the child will now always be Shiny (and hatch as the same species as the female parent). It could potentially cause an inflation and ruin the market. This is implemented as it wouldn't be balanced if people would try to get a rare shiny such as Charmander by breeding that with a common shiny from the same egg group. The Old man breeder will tell you one of your Pokémon seem special and that you should hold onto it IF you try to breed a shiny with a non-shiny Pokémon.

In fact, we all know that the shiny rate in PokeMMO is 1/30000, which can be modified to 1/27000 with Donator Status or approximately 1/24300 with Donat or Status + Shiny Charm (+10%) and so on:

Known methods from the original games such as Mesuda and chain fishing are NOT implemented in PokeMMO, and thus you will have to settle with the set shiny rate in PokeMMO. You can find every horde location in that guide - and it can provide you with interesting and alternative EV training spots if you feel like avoiding that shiny Tentacruel.Īs an introduction, Shiny Pokémon can be met anywhere in the wild (or from eggs). If you are looking for ideas about what to hunt, I recommend looking in one of my best Pokébud's detailed 2020 All Horde Locations - EV and Shiny guide. In summary, I will humbly teach you all about shiny hunting in PokeMMO.Īre you looking for inspiration about what to hunt? Lastly (for now), a section with useful website links and guides that are useful or interesting for your shiny hunting.

Secondly, I have added a short section about the most common methods in the aspect of PokeMMO shiny hunting (horde hunting, single encounters, egg hatching and hunting in the Safari Zone).įurthermore, I have added a short section about helpful shiny hunting tools that can benefit you throughout your hunt, including an Encounter Counter and a HD Sprite shiny mod. In addition, I will also introduce you to the use of Sweet Scent and the nerdy aspect of binomial distribution calculation of shiny hunting. What will you gain and learn from reading this guide?įirstly, this guide will contain a shiny hunt introduction that will provide you with basic knowledge about the PokeMMO shiny rates and possible modifications that can increase your odds of finding a shiny. In addition, I thought it would be the perfect time to create a shiny hunting guide due to my blessed RNG in 2020 (link). I have been considering writing a shiny hunting guide for a while as there is no detailed one out there.
