These are the actual odds in current Pokemon games, and they used to be twice as bad: In the main Pokémon games, the base chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon is 1 in 4096 The shiny are there for nothing else but as a cosmetic, they don't offer ANYTHING gameplay-wise. At least adepts have access to a suite of mods that are useless 90% of the time. This game has too many issues, bugs, problems. Fixing the drop-rate for a cosmetic item is NOT a priority. Tone down your damn entitlement.
