What are the chances of finding a Horde, and there being a shiny in it?

Feb. 2, 2014

I know the odds normally are pretty high (1 in 4096, I believe), but while going through the Zubat cave on my X Nuzlocke, I encountered a horde on my first try, and one of the Zubats was shiny!

I’m just curious of the odds of that happening without using honey/sweet scent, and then finding a shiny!

Well, its 1 in 4096 normally, but encountering five at the same time makes it five times the chance.So its simply a 5 in 4096 chance of encountering a shiny Pokemon in hordes

Hope I helped. :)

The chances of encountering a horde is slim, but with honey or Sweet Scent, it is 100% in grass or caves.

Normally, the chance of encountering a shiny is 1/4096 but due to hordes, it is 5/4096 and simplify that it is 1/819.2.

Happy shiny hunting!
