Shiny Drampa

Sun-kissed Drampa swaps the blue-green body for soft golden-cream, and the kindly dragon grandpa suddenly looks like he naps in sunbeams all day. The lighter palette lets the cloud-like mane stand out more. Warm tones on a Normal/Dragon? That just fits.

How do we research these odds?

We check every game where a shiny is possible, then rank each one by the best method available in that game, so the row at the top is the fastest route overall.

Odds marked verified are cross-checked against multiple independent sources before we publish them. Where a rate is not yet confirmed we mark the row pending rather than guess a number.
