Shiny Chance

Shiny Pokémon can be obtained in a number of different ways, each with their own odds. As of version 0.7.1, the only ways to augment the chances of encountering shinies are to equip the Shiny Charm or have Starf Berries growing in the Farm (at full ripeness, each Starf plant gives a 1.015% boost).

=Farm Shiny Breeding Strategy=

Breeding is the most effective way to obtain most Shiny Pokémon. The Farm can be used to increase both the Egg Steps gained by defeating a Pokémon (thus hatching eggs faster) and the Shiny Rate in general. Below is a table of optimal Shiny strategies along with planting strategies to achieve these strategies. Furthermore, a Shiny Breeding Rate Calculator has been created for more specific calculations of Shiny Rates.

Starf Planting Formation
Planting Starf Berries can increase the Shiny Rate of all Pokémon encounters, including hatched eggs. Below is a Planting Table of the most efficient setup to use only Starf Berries.

Starf + Chople Planting Formation
Planting Starf and Chople Berries together increases the Shiny Rate and Egg Steps Gained at the same time. Below is a Planting Table of the most efficient setup.

Starf + Lum Planting Formation
Planting Starf berries near at least one Lum Berry increases the Shiny Rate of all Pokémon encounters including hatched eggs more than solely using Starf berries. Below is a Planting Table of the most efficient setup.

Starf + Lum + Chople Planting Formation
Combines Starf + Lum and Starf + Chople for massive improvements in Shinies hatched over time. Below is a Planting Table of the most efficient setup.

Starf + Lum + Chople + Petaya Planting Formation
Adds a Petaya in place of a Starf in Starf + Lum + Chople for a very slightly reduced improvement in Shinies hatched over time but much more longevity of all berries on the farm. Below is a Planting Table of the most efficient setup.
