The Pros and Cons of Finding Rare Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go

Shiny Pokémon, which are differently colored versions of regular Pokémon, have become a huge part of the Pokémon franchise's fanbase. Initially, Shiny Pokémon were determined by each critter's Individual Values, but the system has since changed to ensure that they remain ultra-rare anomalies. The increasing popularity of Shiny hunting has led to the introduction of new ways to increase the odds of encountering Shinies, but the community is divided on the "value" of Shinies as they become easier to find.
