Locked Shiny?

No, you're not shiny-locked.

 

-You're likely to become shiny-locked if you play for an excessive amount of time in early areas without making story progress. Making enough progress will remove the lock.

-If you've completed a single region's storyline (lv100 obedience), you won't be subject to restrictions in any region. You've done this so you have nothing to worry about.

-The base rate is always either 1/30k or 0, it doesn't scale with playtime or time spent hunting. New players do not have better odds.

-This should never affect anyone playing the game normally. Lucky players can still find shinies during their first storyline.

-There is no other way to become shiny-locked. Anyone on a long dry streak who isn't hunting before playing the game is just unlucky.

Hey Rache,

 

Thanks for the info. Would 5 badges be enough progression to avoid something like this as I'm not hunting in early areas? You mention it's likely to happen if spending a lot of time in early areas, and that beating the region will prevent any possible lock. I'm in between there with my badge count and been hunting for a bit. Not sure if it's still possible to trigger a lock.

Why dont you read what you quoted? It holds the answer

Let me get this straight, this means that if I don't progress in the game I will be blocked from finding a shiny, but if I progress enough or even complete the region or the entire game this block will be removed?

I've also spent easily over $1000 on the game.

Maybe this is a wake-up call, friend

I play the same if not more than the person writing this and NO shiny or Legendary. Completed every region and 1200hrs of game time. I only started playing in February this year. I haven't had 1 second without donors status and use tons of shiny charms/legendary lures. I've also spent easily over $1000 on the game.

4-6hrs of farming hordes or fishing as many days a week as i can. The only thing that i can think of is that because I'm playing on ios i can't get a shiny. I haven't seen anything on YouTube or heard of anyone getting a shiny on ios. I've even deleted all the roms and downloaded new ones from a different source. Still no luck. I don't see any reason to keep playing as i know for a fact ive made more than 300k encounters...

I was dry for over 300k aswell. Just quit the game bro. Or do something else, there is no bigger waste of your life time than shiny hunting.

tenho uma duvida relacionada a isso, eu ja zerei Kanto porem nao zerei Johto, então se eu fizer um shiny hunt em kanto eu acho, porem em johto eu nao sou capaz de achar???

 

I have a question related to this, I've already beaten Kanto but I haven't beaten Johto, so if I do a shiny hunt in Kanto I can find it, but in Johto I'm not able to find it???

If any of these are true, you are not shiny locked.

  • Have completed 8 badges in at least one region; 
  • Have Donator Status currently active; or 
  • Have any Shiny Charm currently active (including those provided by Links)

Não, você não está com trava brilhante.

 

-É provável que você tenha torne shiny-lock se jogue por um tempo excessivo nas primeiras águas sem fazer progresso na história. Progredir o suficiente removerá a fechadura.

-Se você completou o ensaio de uma única região (obediência lv100), você não estará sujeito a restrições em nenhuma região. Você fez isso não tem com o que se preocupa.

-A taxa básica é sempre ou 1/30 k ou 0, não escala com tempo de jogo ou tempo gasto caçando. Novos jogadores não têm melhores chances.

-Isso nunca deve afetar quem joga o jogo normalmente. Os jogadores sortudos ainda podem encontrar shinies durante seu primeiro encontro.

-Não há outra maneira de ficar com trava brilhante. Qualquer um em uma longa passagem seca que não está caçando antes de jogar o jogo é apenas azarado.

Banimento temporário pode resultar em Bloqueio Brilhante permanente? Recebi há muito tempo uma proibição temporária da minha conta por tentar fazer uma mudança evolutiva usando o mesmo celular, será que isso resulta em uma trava brilhante permanente؟?

Não, isto não resultará num bloqueio brilhante.

Hello, How do I validate if my account has a Shiny Block?

 

In game name: cappobianco

I have pass the league in 4 of the 5 regions, just joto left. I have spend time on shiny hunt but still nothing. I just want to validate because if there is a hidden block status I think it is good to know.

That does sound incredibly unlucky, but don’t worry, there’s no such thing as a “shiny lock” on accounts. Shiny odds stay the same no matter how often or how long you play. Your intense grind might mimic bot-like behavior, but unless you’re using automation, it shouldn’t trigger any penalties.

Hello, the base rate of 0

Does this affect all players or is it only the temporarily 'Shiny Lock' players ?
