Avery Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 So I started another save file today, and as of four hours, I've collected eight shinnies. Um, what? So I've read on the forums that the rate for shiny encounters comes out to be about 1/700. Is this true that the rate is really indeed 1/700? I have no way of pinpointing how many encounters I've had; but if I had to ballpark it, I shouldn't have over 1000 encounters. I've included screenshots of the mons and my playtime in the spoiler below. I'm just super surprised??? Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farnsworth Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The shiny rate in Reborn is around 1% or 1/100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shiny chance is always the same, it's always 1%. Though you can increase it further if you have the shiny charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm... a shiny charm well I'm still on the fairy gym not sure if I'll get that one soon enough, since in the future I may want my whole team as a shiny but also have a decent IV's as well.

You can get it after you beat Blake in Ametrine. You need to do a sidequest in Calcenon City, though it is only available if you say No every time to Blake back in Ametrine when he asks for the Ruby Ring. If you said yes the shiny charm will become available at a later episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read on the forums that Aster gives you Waterfall if you don't get it from Blake. Or was that changed in E16? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyczer Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have a thread about this. Out of 100 eggs I have hatched 18 shiny arons , I could say its pretty high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexagoen Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Well, I'm your specific case you got kinda sorta lucky that almost 1/5 of your eggs were shiny. I'm reborn the shiny rarity is dropped from whatever high number (around 7000 I think?) it is in the main games, to 1/100 chance in reborn. So yeah shines are semi common, but it's cool that you got so many in just 100 Also I should sleep right now byeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yours Truly Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think you guys were just pretty lucky, even with the shiny charm I still only get around 3 shinies a day, which isn't that high to be honest, oh well, at least my camels are less used than yours.
