Shiny Ho-oh?

[Angry_Sun]

Hey guys, does the game determine whether the Ho-oh is shiny or not from the beginning, or when you encounter it?

I'd like to know.

 

[Lysandre]

No, like all other encounters it's random each time. Just keep softresetting if you must have one.

So the game chooses right when you encounter him?
I might give it a few tries.

 

[Lysandre]

Yep. It's not a good chance, but each time you approach him it chooses at random.

I was wondering the same thing.

About 1 in 8000. There is a chance!
