Once a player captures 10 Shiny (non-Shadow) Pokémon, they will unlock the Shiny Pokédex so they can see each entry of Shiny Pokémon they have seen/caught. The in-game RNG determines if wild-spawned and Raid Pokémon are Shiny for each player's instance separately thus a Shiny Pokémon from the same spawn point may not, and most likely will not, appear shiny to other Trainers.

In the Map View and Sightings view, Shiny Pokémon are shown in their regular coloration until they appear on the encounter screen or on the summary page, where they have an aura of stars around them, a shiny tab shown above the CP and their different coloration is visible. Only one shiny variation exists for each Pokémon.

These color variations may range from minor hue adjustments to completely altered palettes. Shiny Pokémon are extremely rare Pokémon that differ in coloration from their regular appearance.
