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.

A Shiny Pokémon, previously officially known as alternate coloration or rare coloration, is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species.

It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

 

Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much.

Some Pokémon, such as Glaceon or Pichu, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color.

 

However, many Pokémon have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like Caterpie show a dramatic difference.

 

An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both Ponyta and Rapidash have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames.

In August of 2016, starter-clone counterparts were introduced for each Pokémon in the evolutionary line of Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle as an anniversary-commemoratory event—approximately one year removed from its release into the Beta stage on August 14, 2016. While the event was abruptly discontinued later that month due to various technical difficulties, it was reintroduced on November 14, 2016, as a consolatory event due to the Halloween event's cancellation that year.

 

Clone Pokémon are colorated in accordance to those that were created and deployed in the Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back.

 

There is a 1/20 (5%) chance of encountering these counterparts of wild starter Pokémon.

 

 

Only available in wild during Anniversary time.

With the advent of Pinkan Island—one of the Orange Islands that was released as a standalone content addition—a bevy of Pokémon were pinkified new counterparts as a nod to those who inhabited the aforementioned area in the anime.

 

Every Pokémon inhabitant on the island and evolutions thereof has a pink counterpart; there is a 1/1500 chance of encountering them in the wild. All of such inhabitants are assorted in the collage below, among a few others that have not yet been made huntable.
