Data suggest that the odds of shiny gimmighoul are 1/4,103.05 vs the normal 1/4,096 on top of that data miners say the shiny form is locked behind 5* raids. Wtf is this game freak.

I was excited to actually play the game again to hunt for a shiny one, but at those odds I’m just going to go back to Zelda

It wouldn’t be too bad if you could grind/hunt like a regular mon, but the delay in trying to connect to online raids and playing over the internet makes this practically impossible.

With a 30% 5-star raid chance thats like 6~~00~~/82061 shiny odds?? 🤦

Edit: too many zeroes

[–] Myr 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm bad at probability but that sounds like a 0.7% chance? wut.

[–] qwerty 2 points 2 years ago

Well, apparently you're better than me at probability.. 🤣 Its actually 6/82061 odds (I had two extra zeroes...) or 600/82061%

Just gamefreak being their own dumb selves.

With any hope they'll adjust the event, but I wouldn't hold my breathe.

I believe all raids have that shiny odds rate. Not that this makes it better, it's just a clarification.
