Shiny Mons

Shiny Mons are rare variants of Mons that feature an alternate coloration. The difference is purely aesthetic. When sent into battle, a Shiny Mon will display a sparkle animation with accompanying sound effect.
A leaderboard for the players with the most shinies can be found on site.
==Obtaining==
Shiny mons can be found in the wild at a rate of 1/1024 (roughly 0.0977%). Certain shiny mons can be found as special encounters or distributed as a gift.
The Mons listed in the "Special Shinies" table are those obtainable by most players, whereas those listed in the "Limited Shinies" table are/were only accessible during a certain timeframe and/or restricted to a certain subset of players.

==Shiny Locking==
Certain Mons are "shiny locked", which is to say that they will be guaranteed not to be shiny.
The wild mons on Easter Island, which are uncatchable, are shiny locked. The boss fights on Easter Island and in Borovia are also shiny locked.
