Shiny Pok�mon are now part of the Pok�mon GO madness! Congratulations to everyone who gets a Shiny on Day 1, it�s crazy luck!

The original leak said the following: �Did you know that if you evolve a Shiny Pok�mon like this Magikarp, the evolved Pok�mon will also be Shiny?� and now it has finally happened!

Before you start your hunt, make sure you visit our ? Pok�mon GO Shiny Chart ? that shows all Shiny variants in Generation I and II. Some Shiny variants are hard to spot, while others are quite obvious.

The credits for first confirmed Shiny Magikarp catch go to Fabien Parent!

We still have no info if Shiny Pok�mon have any different stats or moves when compared to their normal counterparts. Shiny Pok�mon are usually just different color variants then normal counterparts, however they are incredibly rare.
