Sitting at McDonald's and figured I'd share my good fortunes. Of course if you're a Pokemon Go player or played Pokemon gen 3 you already know what I'm going to say.
Caught my first shiny Pokemon in PoGo. Shines are basically just "skin" changed from there original form. The normal version of this guy/girl is grey.
There is nothing else special about shinies. They don't have any hidden abilities or special powers and are more for bragging to your friends about how lucky you are.
I'd guess the chance of catching one of these guys is <.1% and after the Halloween event is over will be closer to <.01%.
Any other steemians lucky enough to have a shiny in PoGo or one of the console games share in the comments below!
