What is the chance of finding a Shiny in Gen 1?
Feb. 13, 2019If you had RBGY Pokemon with certain stats and transferred it to GSC, it would be shiny. Was he chance of finding this Pokemon with specific stats in RBGY 1/8096, or something else?
This is a question for curiosity.

The ratio of shiny to non-shiny IV spreads in Gen I and II is 1/8192 (it’s technically incorrect to say this is the “chance” of finding a shiny due to how the RNG works, but it’s close enough). However, due to a quirk in the Gen I RNG, normal wild encounters in grass, caves, or water will never have an IV spread that results in shininess, and so only stationary and fishing encounters, in-game trades, and gift Pokémon can have shiny IVs in Gen I.
