Frequently asked questions

How do I use the shiny counter?

Pick the Pokémon and the game you are hunting in, then press the big +1 button (or Space or Enter) every time you encounter or reset. Backspace removes one if you miscounted. Your count is saved in this browser.

What are the odds of finding a shiny Pokémon?

It depends on the game. Generations 2 to 5 use 1 in 8,192. Generation 6 onwards uses 1 in 4,096. Methods like the Masuda Method, chaining and the Shiny Charm improve this, and the odds calculator shows them for each game.

What does "chance so far" mean?

It is the probability that you would have found at least one shiny by now, using the base odds for your game. Reaching the average number of encounters is still far from a sure thing, so going over is normal.

Are there shiny Pokémon in Red, Blue and Yellow?

No. Shiny Pokémon were introduced in Generation 2 (Gold, Silver and Crystal). Generation 1 games have none, so there are no odds to track for them.

Will I lose my count if I close the tab?

No, the counter is stored in your browser, so it survives a refresh or restart. Clearing site data, using a private window or switching browsers will lose it. Sign in with Google to save hunts to your account and use them on any device.

Is this shiny counter free?

Yes. The counter works instantly with no account. Signing in is optional and only adds saved hunts, a trophy case and a shiny Pokédex.
