[glow=purple]1[/glow][anchor=1].[/anchor][glow=purple]What are pokemon counterparts?[/glow]

Pokémon counterparts are specially colorated versions of Pokémon counterparts that are adventitiously encountered in the wild and—more conservatively so—obtained from Pokémon-giving NPCs.

 

Compared to other Pokémon MMOs, Pokémon Revolution Online is not multitudinously diversified in the array of special counterparts available; aside from the traditional shiny counterparts, special counterparts are more commonly obtainable as temporary event-thematic Pokémon than any regularly encounterable counterpart of wild Pokémon. Moreover, they do not bear any inherent statistical enhancements; they merely have an aesthetic distinction from their regular counterparts.

 

Shiny Pokémon are also the only special counterpart that each Pokémon has a version of; event-temporary ones are tailored to a specific assortment of Pokémon, as outlined below.
