Has anyone gotten any shiny Pokémon in Sword and Shield yet? I'm not quite done with the game so I haven't intentionally shiny hunted at all, but I have not seen any yet either!

I talked about this on the Discord, but I got a shiny Snom! I had around 600 eggs hatched, I didn’t exactly keep count. My next target is Wooloo!

Here’s the Snom in all it’s glory:

Congratulations @KOBY15
In all or my time playing Pokémon I have never got a shinny.
But I do feel like I have seen a shinny and thought it was just the regular Pokémon. :?
Still have not tried discord yet. Might try it after this post.

Very nice! How many had you defeated? Pokémon showed the way that the defeated Pokémon count affects shinies recently: https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/gig ... wild-area/

I’ve never noticed how good Stufful’s shiny palette looks! Congrats!

I just got my second shiny from a max raid battle from the new Magikarp event after only 9 attempts! I evolved it into Gyarados!
