Shiny starter odds question

clasingla · September 8

I’m curious about how In like gen 6 or 7 how many people got a shiny starter without resetting since I know they’re is millions of copies sold of them and the shiny odds are 1/4096 so I’m curious how many people got extremely lucky with shinys

Even with Gen 9, I'd rather get the shiny starter hatch the honorable way rather than keep relying on soft resets.

Even if I got a shiny locked shiny. I will usually release it to give the luck to someone else.

This is the weirdest comment I've ever seen on the forums. The only "wrong way" to get a shiny is through hacking, and even that is subjective. Please do not gatekeep shiny hunting, that's just stupid.

yeoch. I think pawmi is a starter imho… its good I got it as a shiny tho.

If the odds of getting a shiny starter on the first try is 1/4096 and 24 million copies of Pokemon Scarlet/Violet were sold, that means 5,859 people got shinies on the first try (I think).

If you want to sacrifice Dialga energy(time), who am I to stop you. Just don't lose sanity over that small code difference.

I don't know if this is a joke or not but starters only started being shiny locked on the switch.
