Shiny Pokémon are rare versions of Pokémon in Pokémon go that have modified looks. They are called shiny because they have a slight sheen added to them that makes them stand out more than the normal versions.
Shiny Rates
Apart from the Pokémon that don’t have shiny versions in the game, every Pokémon has a base shiny rate assigned to it that tells you how often you’ll see a shiny version of them under normal circumstances. The shiny rate for Shinx is about1 in 125. So, for every 125 Shinx you find in the wild, you’ll probably only see one shiny version.
Luxio and Luxray are rarely seen in the wild. Because of this, it’s hard to determine exactly what their shiny rates are. Chances are, the only way you’ll be able to get a Shiny Luxio or Shiny Luxray is by evolving a Shiny Gothita.
Shiny rates change for Pokémon featured during Community Day events. The standard shiny rate on these days is 1 in 25. Shinx will be featured as the Community Day Pokémon on May 31, 2025, so that will be the best day to get one!

How to Get Shiny Shinx
There is no way to force a Shiny Shinx to appear. Instead, players must simply play the game to hope to run into one. However, there are a few tricks players can use to make it easier to find them.
