Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Odds

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee replace breeding with the Catch Combo. Catch the same species in a row, add a Lure and the Shiny Charm, and watch your odds climb toward the cap.

Shiny Odds Calculator

Every shiny check is an independent roll, so your per-encounter odds never move no matter how long you've hunted. What climbs is your cumulative chance, the odds you'd have found one by now, and that's the curve the ring below tracks.

Shiny Mechanics and Quirks

Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Shiny Mechanics and Quirks

The game that invented sight-hunting.
VISUALShinies show in the overworld
First mainline game where spawns render shiny before you engage, with a recolored model plus a sparkle effect. The red and blue auras are size marks (XL/XS), not shininess; don't chase the glow.
COMBOCombos do more than odds
A 31+ Catch Combo guarantees 4 max IVs, boosts rare spawns like Chansey, Lapras and Dratini, and holds your shiny rolls at cap for as long as you keep catching.
RULESWhat actually breaks a combo
Only three things: the combo species fleeing, catching a different species, or closing the game. Walking away or moving to a new area costs you nothing.
