Įdit + Clarification for CS people: It’s determined serverside, I made the assumption that it could be clientside based on the individuality, which is a valid guess, and I was wrong based on my reverse testing. Here’s my evolved karp :), good thing I “saved my candies”. Encountered again and it was still shiny, sorry boys and girls. I TESTED THIS THEORY AND DIDN’T WORK: I encountered a shiny magikarp and for the sake of research I risked it and reset my app. When they re-encountered it, it was still a Shiny. To prove this, the OP of the above thread encountered a shiny Magikarp then restarted their app. Conversely, restarting the app after encountering a shiny Magikarp would likely mean that that same Magikarp would no longer be shiny if you re-encountered it. If this were not the case, it would be possible to constantly restart your app after encountering a Magikarp to try to have it appear as a shiny eventually. That is, the shininess of a Pokémon isn’t determined once you click on it it was already determined when it spawned. Accepted Answer:īased on the experiment conducted in this thread, it’s shown that the shininess of a Pokémon is determined serverside rather than clientside. does running from a shiny and reclicking it keep its shininess)?Īnswering the last question should be enough to answer the first two. What determines the shiny nature of a Pokémon? Is it determined for each player when it spawns, or when a player clicks the Pokémon? Does running and re-entering affect this (i.e. This surprises me, because Pokémon are otherwise the same for all: same IVs and same CP for people on the same level (this has been my experience, playing with my partner of the same level however, this does not appear to be other people’s experience) The same Pokémon was shiny for one person and not another. It wasn’t shiny for another person, though Once the battle started it was yellow and had sparkles.
I also can confirm this: I just had a regular Magikarp on the map. I read this comment earlier (quoted in case it’s removed, emphasis mine) and If a Pokémon is shiny for someone, is it shiny for everyone in the same location?:
