This website uses Javascript to run repeated simulations to demonstrate how randomness works with regards to encountering shiny pokemon in pokemon go. It operates in one of two modes, depending on which goal you have in mind:
| Number of people who found shiny(s) | |
| Avg/Min/Max encounters before finding shiny(s) |
| Average number of shinies found per person | |
| Min/Max number of shinies found by any one person |
(Grouping results into "buckets", e.g., how many people fell within each indicated range)
| Re-run simulation to see correct buckets for the specified number of shinies |
| Person | Encounters | Shinies | Prob | Current | Winning probs (encounter #) |
|---|
If you are looking for the average number of shinies caught, the Cumulative results section at the top of this page shows the average, minimum, and maximum number of shinies caught over the given maximum number of encounters.
If you are looking for how many encounters it takes to find a specified number of shinies, then each individual simulation stops and reports how many encounters it took to find that number of shinies. The Cumulative results section displays statistics related to the minimum, maximum, and average number of encounters required to find the specified number of shinies. Note that simulations which do not meet the required number of shinies are not included in the results section. Note: if you want to make sure all simulations are counted in this mode, then enter a high max encounter limit.
Finding perfects - change the "odds" from 1 in 50 to 1 in 4096 to get the odds of finding a non-weather boosted perfect.
