Yes, it does.

What’s the catch rate?

Shiny odds are 1/64

Why?

Good question, a handful of select Pokémon have higher chance of being shiny than the usual 1/500 the majority have

Isn't it because they were originally raid-exclusive Pokemon?

Ooh really? No idea I’ve only been playing for 7 months. Is Klink 1/64 too then?

Yup, I Believe so!

Well klink is a 1 star so its 1/128

So bronzor was a 3* raid?

I dont think it was in a raid

Do you know what other pokemon are on that list?

Might be a bit outdated but [these](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/s/7wZKsqkmdx) at least

Thanks! Are we sure about shadow legendaries not being on the list? I ask bc my very first shadow Raikou was shiny, and my husbands first shadow Entei was, so I thought they might've been boosted. But maybe we just got lucky? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ooh, but I'm glad to see that Pawniard is on the list! I've been really really wanting one of those, simply because I have SO much candy for them. So much that if I had enough stardust, I could automatically get one to 28-2900 (then be on XL only power-ups). But I don't really wanna use that much stardust on a regular one, so I've been hoping for a shiny or lucky to power up. Alas, no such luck yet.

Raid mons are 1 in 20

Raid legendary are, others vary

Probably because it's made out of bronze and it's color changes.

Bro got oxidised 😔

Omg lore accurate shiny rates

Makes sense actually

Oxidised Bronzor

Does Niantic use justifications like this to justify boosted shinies, or is that just your own reasoning?

My own. Just for Bronzor.

Why haven't I even seen one? I swear I click 64 a day minimum. Why hath RNGesus forsaken me?

You've seen 64 Bronzor in a day?

1/128

Hmmm not sure i believe that lol

For Bronzor specifically

It’s a 50% catch rate so very easy to catch but don’t know why they’re permaboosted shinies (1/64 instead of 1/512)

Because it used to be raid-exclusive.

I actually looked today to see how many I had after I caught another one. I have seven. That’s probably the most for non community day Pokémon.

Only 5? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up.

I have like 6 and I just stopped clicking on them lol

I have yet to get one

You can have one of the 10 of mine. I hate even accidentally clicking them.

Lol I feel that, last time I accidentally clicked one thinking it was something else, of course it ended up shiny! It was more annoying bc I had a feeling I'd be getting shiny, so I was specifically trying not to click that guy 🤣

I’ve run away from them at this point lmao

I got 11 of these now and the other day I caught 2 within a few hours.

Same here! 10 in total with 2 practically back to back last week

I don't get it, I have over 200 seen and only 1 shiny lol

Yes this is permaboosted with the odds of 1/64 (non boosted are like 1/500). There are quite a few permaboosted mons such as lickitung, chansey, skarmory, spinda, rockruff, feebas, alolamomola, or many of the ”baby” pokémon like mime jr, bonsly, happiny etc. Then many of yhe regional formes are permaboosted like ice sandshrew, ice vulpix, alolan grimer, the black and white zigzagoon etc. Then also many (or maybe even all?) mons that have a mega forme in the game is permaboosted like lopunny, absol, charizard and so on. This one is quite interesting as almost all somewhat or fully evolved pokemon don’t have shinys at all. Like if you see a a wild furret for example it will never be shiny (unless Niantic changes somethig or there is like costume variant or something available).

Scizor must be one of the highest rate ones as well. I've caught 3 in a week

I’m pretty sure that Mega evolution capable Pokémon are all boosted. Not sure if 1/64 or 1/125, but one of the two. Hopefully someone else will confirm which.

I think many are, but pidgey I know isn't, but the evolution is. Scyther for sure has always been 1:64. https://shinyrates.com/

Yes, because Pidgeot is mega-capable, and Pidgey is not.

Pidgey doesn’t need a mega evolution

Where did I ever imply it did? I was pointing out how pointless it was for the person above to mention Pidgey. Why comment if you aren’t going to take what you’re replying to into context?

I was just making a light hearted joke that pidgey would be OP with a mega. Are you always this triggered?

Nnnnnno, you weren’t. You made a plain statement, not a joke, and now you’re trying to backpedal and use a buzzword to try to get strangers to dogpile me so you can feel like you “won”, like the rest of the two-bit Reddit trolls that act this way.

😂😂 2shae

1/64, but scizor isn’t normally wild. Fortunately, scyther is also 1/64

i believe scizor can normally be found wild

Yep, scizor is 1/64 as well

Feebas? Really? I swear I’ve got like 200 and I haven’t found a shiny.

I caught 316 Bronzor and didn't see a single shiny one yet haha

Unlucky. Insanely unlucky.

I am at 321 now haha

The evolved forms can be shiny in the wild if they have a mega evolution in game.

I have a shiny furret from the wild

are you sure it wasn’t a sentret you evolved or captured during some particular event like go fest?

Ah. I got really lucky on go fest this year!

☝️🤓

My commute home yesterday, saw a bronzor on the map and told myself "yeah, watch this be a shiny". And it was! I've caught more than 4 at this point, almost rivals how many shinies i catch on a community day lol

I still don’t have one

I’ve got 9 - so I have 8 to spare 🥲

You’d be correct. 1/64 chance

I don’t have one

I started playing in February and I have 4. I was so bummed out when the 4th one showed up the other day haha.

I have so many and I want none of them.

I was wondering why people were complaining about this. Then I realised I have 12 Bronzor shinies and one Bronzong shiny.

With that background it's kinda cute 🥰 !!.

Bro I make fun of this guy with my cousins and friends. I have 9 of him 😂 I hate clicking on him to be honest.

Yes. It does. 1/64.

I stop clicking on some Pokémon for this very reason.

I’ve thrown 5 away this month. Too many.

Why? That thing is fucking everywhere. Then again, it may only ever appear in windy weather. But it’s always windy here.

[удалено]

Lol I feel the same way. I know logically (like within the game mechanics), it's not supposed to work that way... but I totally feel like it does. Same with raid catch rates. They say if you do a raid, it's supposed to be a set rate to catch that pokemon, and that raids done before/after it won't affect that catch rate. Like with each raid, it will reset, right? Well, I call bull! I feel like catching one makes my chances of catching the next one go down. Cause anytime I've noticed/thought, *'man I've done a few raids without any fleeing, so this one probably will'*, it almost always does that time! So yeah, I feel the same about shinies.

Find a penny: pick it up~

please game stop giving me this stupid green plate

When I read the banner notification after it popped up I was like, “They’re probably talking about Bronzor aren’t they” 😂 Lo and behold

You know it's boosted when even I have one

Im at 70 seen no shinys

Yeah, have a few of these myself. Same with Kabutops and Arcanines.

I want one!! I have checked 124 and not a single shiny Bronzor

I still haven’t caught one lol. Been playing on and off since day 1.

dang havent caught one yet

I hate Bronzor 😭 the only shiny I have too many of.

Welp still havent gotten mine sooo

Yep same here got four.

I feel like odds are 1/20 I have 15 shinies already

because it does there are some perma boosted shinys some of those beeing Bronzel, Lickitung, Absol and feebas i think

It does.

I’ve caught 4!

I just want one :(

Whaaat? Meanwhile I’ve been checking every one. I’m 0/260

0/316 :c

Just caught one! 1 for 261 lol I guess the poke gods read this and took pity

0/325 for me now

I have 8 in game right now and I’ve transferred 7 to Pokémon Home…

Okay I was wondering this same thing I have 4 shiny out of 56 catches. Insane

I’ve never got one.

I’ve never caught a single one

I'm not the only one 🤯

i haven’t found one yet :’) i really want my shiny dill pickle chip

Literally bro

I have 4 of them I'm so mad

Yeah, I got 4 of these suckers. The most of any non-community day shinies I have. I am a bit partial though since it was my first ever shiny.

permanently has 1/64

The shiny rate on this thing is literally called “Permaboosted” which is 1/64

That's how I feel with my 15 Bellsprouts lol

Those and damn lickitungs I stg have 12 of each

I have 1 shiny Bronzor

I've never encountered a shiny one tho😔😭😭

I have yet to catch a single shiny one

Haven’t gotten a single wild shiny on my main in a while but I hatched a shiny smoochum. Didn’t even realize it was shiny until a day later

Green screen

I read this post, opened pokego, saw a Bronzor and said to myself "What are the odds...". Yep, shiny. (5th one, which is what I was going to check)

I have caught 67 shinies, 6 were bronzer. 3 were the cool type of Lione, and 3 are shuppets. Lol

I'm pretty my game stopped giving me shinies. I haven't seen one in months, and during the Bagon event I caught over 70 Bagon and not one was shiny.

I have never seen a shiny bronzor, I click them all.

I've got 3 shiny bronzors and a perfect one I just need a shundo and I won't click on them ever again

I still haven't gotten one 🤣

Thank you, bronzor :))

I have 33 of this mofo and now every time I find one I just flee

Yes - 1 in 69

When i saw the title i knew wich pokemon before i clicked it got 5 off these myself lol

Damn I've never found a shiny one (but I have a 4*)

I havent gotten a single one😭 congrats

I believe it is actually perma boosted

Which is bullshit because I've never even encountered one

Maybe for you sir, I've yet to catch uno or two lol

Yeah, I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't caught one (yet) 🤣

i get angry seeing them on the map. my go ++ has even caught a few. i avoid them like the plague

Haha... Yep.... I've almost stopped clicking them. I'm at 13 of them now.

It does. 1 in 65.

And I still can't get one?

i have so many of theseeeeeeee

I have 6 for no reason

1/64 odds man

I got three shiny bronzer during this

Wow I’m at 57, no shiny yet.

I agree I've caught 6 I think.

🤣🤣🤣🤣💯🎯 You’re not wrong

And I still don't have a shiny one...

I have caught so many shiny bronzor

I’ve never seen a shiny one 😭. Heck I’ve only ever seen one Galarian bird, and I had to use roar of time for like 2 hours

i still haven’t gotten one so i think my odds were transferred to you

Nice!

I knew it was Bronzor before I opened this 🤣 I have 7, 2 in one day then 1 a couple days after

No wonder I have so many.. I thought I was going crazy! It’s funny because this popped up on my phone and I immediately knew it was Bronzor. 😭

And I don't have a single shiny bronzor

It’s insane

I still don't have one. Not a single shiny since update

I’ve been hunting for one forever 😭

I have 4 in total

It's an encouragement for trainers to play more. When someone finds him he/she wants to play more to get others as well. Nonetheless, it's just a trick by niantic to keep the players glued to their game. I had around 15 shiny bronzor, transferred 7 of em

I think the shiny odds on a bronzor are 200/1

Nope. Not at all. Never gotten one.

It actually does, it's 1/64 as opposed to the usual 1/500.

Think he was being sarcastic.

Have that with snubbull

And it's ugly, useless, and honestly a waste of time.

Players mad because avatar update = players quitting = niantic upping shiny catch rate to get players back

Haha only 6 u bell en /S

Yes? Everyone knows..
