So now that purloin is out of the bag and we have confirmed to have shiny pokémon running around. What was the first shiny you caught? I haven't caught one yet.
Well I actually did manage to find a shiny shortly after posting this topic, so my first shiny is a Squirtle. I'll have to level that one soon.
Yes the egg can be shiny and that is indeed a shiny egg, Ben confirmed that shiny eggs would have a different color so congrats on finding a shiny legendary.
*I give the longest 'YEAH BOI' ever* I caught this egg before the update where shinies were made avaliable. That means that some of our previously caught Pokémon may turn out to be shiny, right? Also, what's the chance of finding a shiny Pokémon? Is it anywhere as rare as in the games?
The news of the shinies wasn't given until people starting finding them as they were added as a surprised iirc, someone found a Cubone before they were announced and showed it in the Discord chat, as for the chance I do not know how rare they are.
