Shiny Timburr

Timburr holds a wooden beam and wears slightly different colors, and that's about as exciting as watching someone hold a wooden beam. The construction worker line is three stages of Pokemon carrying increasingly large building materials, and all three shinies are equally invisible. Hard hat not included.

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.
