Which is more rare in DP: Finding a Feebas or finding a shiny Pokemon?

Nov. 9, 2020

In Diamond and Pearl, both Shiny Pokemon and Feebas are rare. Considering how much water tiles there are in Mt. Coronet, Feebas is pretty hard to come across. However, shinies are 1 in 8000 odds. Based on percentage, which is harder to find: a Shiny Pokemon or a Feebas?

If you’re not looking for either, then shiny Pokemon are more common. Every wild Pokemon in DP has at least a 1/8192 chance of being shiny, but wild Pokemon in most places have a 0 chance of being Feebas. If you’re specifically searching for both of them, either by using the Poke radar for shiny Pokemon or fishing in random tiles in the pool that contains Feebas, then you have a roughly 1/200 chance of finding a shiny Pokemon and a 1/132 chance of finding a Feebas. So Feebas are more common.sourcesource

A shiny is rarer than a Feebas, because if you find the Feebas, you can keep fishing for it, while a shiny of a specific ‘mon needs to be found amongst other Pokémon that can be found.
