✨What are Shinies? ✨

Shiny Pokemon are different variations of Pokemon that will have a different colour palette compared to it's normal form. While some of these are very mild with their colour changes, most are vastly different and arguably look better than the normal form. Unfortunately Shiny Pokemon are a lot harder to obtain in most of the Pokemon games and this is the same within Cobblemon.

✨How can I find shinies on the server?✨

The current rate of finding shines on the server is 1/8096 which means the chances of you finding a shiny pokemon within the wild is incredibly low.

As of now there is no main way for you increase your odds on finding shinies on the server while it's in BETA but we are planning to introduce more ways for players to farm shinies on the server from adding a shiny charm for Pokedex completion all the way to having catch combos for easiness of farming a specific Pokemon.

✨Are there other methods to obtaining shinies?✨

There are a couple different ways for players to earn shinies on the server which I will list all of the main ways players can obtain them currently:

Discord Linking

This is a easy way for you to obtain a free shiny on the server and all you need is a Discord account. If you go through the process of linking your Discord account with your in-game account within our server you'll be able to redeem a kit for a free random shiny in-game. For more about linking to discord please click HERE.

Pokedex Rewards

This is another fairly easy way to obtain shinies on the server, which also includes legendaries, mythicals and ultra beasts. For each 10% of the Pokedex you complete you'll have a chance to claim some rewards with a few of the tiers including some form of Shiny Pokemon you can obtain. These can also include keys which is another way for players to get shinies. You can access pokedex rewards via /pokedexrewards

Crates

You can use crate keys (purchasable via /crates with gems or unlocking them in other means like Pokedex Rewards) to open up certain crates which include chances of obtaining random shinies on the server including some legendaries. You can find out ways of obtaining Gems via our Guide you can access HERE.

Auction House

You can use the auction house via /ah to see if any players are currently selling any Shiny Pokemon on the server for X amount of pokecoins. If you have the asking price for them you can go ahead and purchase it to obtain that shiny.

Ranks

This is another way for players to earn some Shinies on the server, although this is only purchable from our Official Store as there is no other means to obtain ranks on the server outside of giveaways and events. Depending on the rank you're choosing, they might come with a random shiny on the server for you to obtain as well as some including legendaries and mythicals. You can purchase ranks from HERE.
