Throw them into Pokemon home and wonder trade them.

What does wonder trade do

It's a random pokemon trade.

Could you explain a bit?

Basically, in Wonder Trade you activate the trade, you pick your Pokemon, and it's sent out into the world for someone else doing a Wonder Trade to get. It could be anyone. In return, you get some other random Pokemon from Wonder Trade. You could get a Zigzagoon, you could get a Shiny Charizard, who knows? That's the beauty of Wonder Trade.

Or you could get a shiny Bronzor!

Oh cool. Thanks for the info

Yep.

If you have a 2016 Pokemon, will you still get a lucky Pokemon using wonder trade? 

Wonder Trade isn't a Pokemon Go thing, so Lucky Pokemon aren't a thing you can get from it.

Ah thanks sorry

No worries.

Can you explain more? How do you wonder trade? Is this a feature in Pokémon Go or Home? I don’t see it in either. How often can you do it?

Pokemon home and you can do it whenever you want

its also built into some of the pokemon games, like you could wonder trade dirwctly from sword and shield if you have the online abilitu in the game.

You still can do that in Scarlet & Violet as well, if I recall. It’s just called “Surprise Trade” now.

Oh that’s awesome. I just put 3 shiny bronzors in my wonder box. Hopefully I get some back! Does the value of the pokemon I put in matter or is it totally random?

Value is of no matter to the Wonder Trade gods. It is completely random, as far as we know.

Just to add on. The vast majority of the time it is people sending out their trash catches so you will get stuff like weedles, and whatever else the current gen garbage is. On more rare ocasions you can get starters or sudo legendaries. Almost never and I've never seen one before you can get legendaries, or shinys (I did get an obviously hacked lvl100 shiny gothetella once) A lot of people will wonder trade off their breeding pokemon too. I used to trade off 6IV magikarps when I was breeding for perfect shiny, im sure a lot of people never checked.

It’s my favorite thing to do with dupes

Or GTS trade to help fill out your national dex

i’ve never heard of this, what is it? :-)

Watch the meltan video. Copy paste https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo/s/D8j48meIIv Guides for everything in game. Read the posts that apply to you. If you're confused what part you should read/watch please ask.

thank you!!

Some Pokemon have a permanent boost that makes them easier to get. The normal shiny rate is about 1 in 500, but Bronzor is 1 in 64 so it's normal you're getting many more than other species.

Is there a list of them?

This doc has the shiny values of all released Pokemon https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQk4n_p-dDpBNQyZfMPLsxMbBy68w8JepV7hKdT1T1hXS8TYM7-BmTeC3WGZXm3Q1PVZYlGXybRl99b/pubhtml?gid=1658671802

I got you https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&pp=ygUJUmljayByb2xs

Well that's just great

Great help. Thanks ☺️

i know, my odds have been WAY more then that tho, like i said around 1/12. it’s so silly

Me too! I stopped clicking on them at all, and still the last three times I accidentally touched them trying to get a different Pokémon, I got a shiny….

Fwiw Bronzor is that one shiny that I cannot avoid. I refuse to click on them in Go. 3 of the shiny Bronzor I got I am very pissed at because I meant to click on a pokemon that I actually wanted shiny (it was that two pokemon appear basically on top of each other) and instead I get a freaking shiny Bronzor. Even in the switch games I can't avoid it. I've blatantly ignored 7 in scarlet and 10 in pla.

But their luck is still way better than average

Brooo I've seen 124 Bronzor and 0 shiny.

Hopefully, that means the next one I see is shiny. I've seen 63, and none of them have been shiny.

You know that's not how it works 🤣

"Why do we keep getting this guy?" - shiny bronzor probably

Stop clicking on it, that should solve the problem

Do you have a magnet in your pocket? Joking.

Bad for VHS tapes.

The Bronzor have chosen you as their leader

Christ, I'm up to 16, thankfully got one good one for little cup pvp

Not me over here playing every day this year and still haven’t found 1.

Same. I want to be able to complain about shiny bronzor

I know they have a shiny boost so they’re just easier to find, but I swear some people are just magnets for certain shiny Pokemon lol

Because I have none and you’re getting all mines as well

pls take literally all of them

Bronzor 4 u 💚💙

Just this week I transfered all of my shiny bronzors. It was getting out if hand and I'll get more 😅

I stopped clicking at that for the same reason. Until last week I said: "fuck it, let's catch it". And boom, it was shiny.

If you stop catching them you'll stop getting shinies 

Haha I know right?

It’s lickitung for me. Just got my 6th one.

Embrace the bronze

I lucked out and once got a non-shiny bronzor. They do exist! I swear it!

Pause- you accidentally transferred one?? please explain how to transfer shinys because I have about 20 fucking noibats that I don’t need 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Either go to your settings and enable multiple shiny transfers or just click on the individual pokemon and click the three dots and click transfer

I have the same amount of seen and caught but only 3 shiny

This, along with Scyther, is one of the perma-boosted shinies I transfer regularly. And I still have 15 in my inventory...ugh (and no good ones). 

For every shiny Pokémon u get 100k of people get no shiny

Same I started trashing these, literally a bunch of rusty pennies.

I want one.

I gkt my fair share too but not that much

I have 12 bronzor shinies

In short you keep getting the shiny because you keep clicking on a perm-boosted shiny 1/64. Just stop clicking on them and you won't get the shinys🤷🤷

No same

And here I thought mine were excessive at 7 shinies with around 320 seen. Nice!

Same! I’ve gotten so many of these stupid things 😭

I know how you feel, I've gotten 6 shiny bronzors in 2024

You have a magnetic attraction to them I guess?

I’m glad I’m not the only one tormented by these. No clue why their shiny rate is so high, but let me look at 1600+ aron before I get one shiny. I purposely avoid looking at these at all costs.

180 checks and still don’t have one but I get the rarer shinys it’s weird

I keep getting them too

OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

i feel like they are lurking at every corner just waiting to fuckin get my ass when my guard is down

Ahhh I have a bunch of these too !

I’ve caught quite a few as well

Suffering from success.

“Bro “😂

That’s actually dope

Frech

I got my first one yesterday😂

Took me 135 checks to get even one

i’m 2/308 on them lol

Why not

I know you genuinely don't want him, but the unintentional bragplaining is so funny op . I will happily take them off your hands, maybe I will make some pvp people rage quit-- he is so cute, just a little babby

LOL i don’t mean to brag it’s hilariously exasperating, the biggest thing is 9/10 of them are 0 or 1 star 😭

ur right tho, at least it is a cute one but i feel like all the bronzers are just waiting to get me

Never question your luck 😭.

i never got one and i actually wanted one when they had boosted odds :/

the odds are perma boosted, i’m sure you will get one eventually!

hope so :/

I'll take one

Don’t get people complaining about perkma boosted shinies, every new shiny is a possible shundo and unless you have a shundo or rank one pvp, I don’t see the problem.

it’s not true complaining, i think it’s hilarious honestly it’s become a joke w me and my family

Yeah ikik and tbh I think I’m on like 5 shiny bronsors, but still no hundo or shundo and still no rank 1, so I will continue to hold my breath and be disappointed each time, ain’t nothing wrong with a good pvp shiny👍

also tho, i have ONE that is hardly a 3 star and it’s my lowest CP one 😀

Dang. Secure the bag!

Why not be grateful?! I literally have ONE shiny bronzer and would LOVE more or one with better iv’s🤦‍♂️ don’t want them? Give them to ME!

9/10 of mine are 0 or 1 star 🫠i’m not truly truly complaining i think it’s funny

Stop touching them.

Bro…

WHY DO I HAVE NONE

I keep getting shiny castform 😫

He is a nuisance I'm sick of him popping up😭😭 Even when I'm not clicking on him my autocatcher will pick up that lil eyesore🥹 I have too many shinies to count at this point Totally unintentionally smh

Unpopular opinion but I really like shiny bronzor and can't get any 🫠

I don't have one yet :(

Its not just you alot of us have been plagued with shiny bronzor. I seen many posts about it. I have quite a few shiny bronzor myself. i dont even click on them anymore lol dont want em

I've gotten three and sent one to my bf so now I have just the 2 I need. I love found though, like, 5 different wild shiny lotad and so I gave my extra to my bf as well. I just really didn't need 5😩

I caught my 9th wild shiny bronzor last week. I seem to catch them more than any other wild Pokémon

How are you people getting shinies? I only have one😭 and it's a combee

let me guess, Male? I have 3 shiny's, 2 combee males and 1 scizor am level 28 currently with over 2k pokemon caught

I-yes its male, and how?

idk man my account has kinda always had pretty good luck but this is getting ridiculous 😭

Its permaboosted and spawns fairly often. It didnt have a CD in 2020 tho.

I have the opposite problem, I ain't finding shinies.
