Shiny Pokémon

Shiny Pokémon, often called shinies, are alternate colorations of Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon are a feature that existed starting in PMU 6, and to staff in early PMU 7. They were discontinued, and then re-added to PMU 7 on the 19th of September in 2019. Using a cosmetic item on a shiny Pokémon will in turn make the disguise Pokémon appear shiny as well.

PMU 6
In PMU 6 select wild Pokémon had a chance of being shiny. Shiny Pokémon were most commonly availabe to players during Holiday Cave and other events.

PMU 7
In PMU 7, shinies were first available during the anniversary Holiday Cave of 2019. Recruitable Pokémon in the anniversary Holiday Cave dungeon were able to spawn shiny. Players were also given a chance to recruit a shiny Bidoof. Shinies since then were enabled to recruits in other dungeons over time.

Currently the following dungeons can spawn recruitable Pokémon shiny. A player can also turn their active Pokémon into a shiny by using a Sparkle Token, an item that was only available in the shop of the anniversary Holiday Cave.
