Hello TzRekJad,

 

afaik the rates are the same for the boss drops/npc drops/fossils revives and abandon pokemon (1 in 8000 something )

An acronym for "random number generator" or "random number generation", it refers to the process by which computers generate apparently random numbers, essentially the computer equivalent of 'chance'.

I think they made the boss rewards have a shiny chance, I think they didn't have that before.

I am also not 100% sure about this but if I recall Naero correctly it's something like this. :D

1/1000 would be way to high and we would see WAY more shinies from NPC's

Afaik the chance of getting a shiny from bosses is 1/2000. Don't know if that applies to other NPCs or fossils.

There is a 1/2,000 (0.0005) chance of obtaining a shiny counterpart of that Pokémon; that is also halved to 1/1,000 (0.0010) with active membership.

 

Naero boss -> reward section

 

 

There is a 1/4,097 chance of obtaining a shiny counterpart of any of the Pokémon rewarded.

 

Ravine boss -> reward section

 

 

There is no shiny counterpart of Pokémon rewarded from the randomized prizeset; only the selectable prizes have one, which is 1/4,096 in fractional notation (0.000244%, in percental notation).

 

Erika boss -> reward section

 

 

 

 

I am sorry. :)

yea maybe, maybe not.

 

In-addition, before and after a staff said it. There was a alot of people receiving shiny karp from karp salesman at route 3. Which is easy coz u only need to pay 1.5k but on bosses it needs timeplayed, lv100pokes, quest completions, etc. thats why only few receives em. Thats why I believe what he said was real about the 1/1000. perhaps they changed it now i rarely see shiny karps from karp salesman poppin in.

Interesting, so that's why Naero was "OP" and we don't get to choose a 3rd time reward.

 

Anyway, the chance of obtaining a shiny from bosses seems to be 1/4,097 as the only other bosses I was able to find in the Wiki, Ravine and Erika, have the exact same shiny chance.
