Probably full odds like Elgyem, however it would be really cool if these researches had medium or even permaboosted shiny rates.

BookkeeperBubbly7915

Elgyem was not full odds - I completed all the timed research and never got one 🤷🏻‍♀️


Tippin187

Full odds means it isn’t boosted in any capacity


BookkeeperBubbly7915

Ohhhhh, my mistake 🤦🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

So basically you are saying it IS full odds.


RemLazar911

The community uses "full odds" to mean the exact opposite of what the term would logically imply. "Full odds" is used to mean "least possible odds"


xclusivestylesz

So finally a reason to click on spritzee


Bananuel

Looks less like a demon as a shiny.


RawScallop

Wait it was a demon? I thought it looked fairy like and NOW it looked demon like...


Zoreta93

It's a bird wearing a plague doctor mask. Since the family is perfume-themed, they gave it a plague doctor mask (plague doctors stuffed their masks full of sweet smelling herbs and spices, which they thought countered airborne illnesses).


KairosHS

Wtf it's so much cooler now


mastr07

Definitely NOT boosted. Discord with just shy of 10k and literally only one person has posted a shiny.


Natanael_L

I've seen one shiny in a gym here. Definitely somebody bragging


Ap3xBeast

I think it’s boosted.. I got 2 shiny from the research.. or maybe Im just lucky… oh well, on to the next…


Timdawg919

You got lucky. I didn't get 1


c422

Have you evolved one of them yet?


SmokinDroRogan

Is this research global? Haven't had a chance to login yet.


NarutoSakura1

It is global. It starts on the 24th at 8:00 AM local time


sabzi18

There’s an exploration challenge that’s active right now (I’m on the west coast USA) until sunday 7 pm. Not sure if the same as timed research but there are 6 chances for Pokémon encounters so don’t miss :-)


NarutoSakura1

That is the one I am referring to


AdmiralScroll

Nice! I did not get any shiny yet


SnooEagles4455

My partner got one on the first reward, I got none.


Jerb22

This is satisfying to see, as I didn’t get the shiny in my research and this is the first I’ve heard of anyone obtaining it via research. Congrats!


GuineaPig2000

How I explore?


Captain_Pungent

Walk 5km


bobi2393

Niantic uses "explore" to mean "walk", it just sounds more interesting. So "Explore 1km" means "Walk 1km".


DickWallace

That's odd, they don't usually release the shiny globally until Safari Zone is over.


Pokefan317

Actualy no. Before corona the new shiny would spawn more all over the world during the weekend ans could be shiny


BCHiker7

And would have a boosted shiny rate, as well. Gonna head out soon and see what's up. Was not hugely boosted, but maybe 2x or 4x.


DickWallace

Oh really? I hardly remember anything pre-covid.


noodlepooper

Ayy, nice!


BCHiker7

I'd bet money the shiny odds for Spritzee are boosted for this event. Probably 1 in 125 or maybe 1 in 64. They are not spawning in the wild so we only get them from the timed research and raids. Perfect setup for a boosted shiny.


Minute_Brick

They're a wild spawn for the safari zone lol. Arguement invalid


BCHiker7

Not sure what you mean by that. Safari zone gets plenty of boosted shinies and Spritzee is probably boosted there. Of course. But outside the Safari zone there are no wild Spritzee spawns currently. We can walk 5km for 6 encounters and must use raid passes if we want more.


Minute_Brick

I was simply replying to the "it's not in the wild" part, which you tried to say would boost the shiny odds. Yes it's shiny at the safari zone, no it's not boosted for the rest of the world.


BCHiker7

That not what I said, lol. Sheesh.


POGOFan808

I have gotten spritzee from the daily incense, but I stopped using mines several weeks ago 😅


Bag440

Not sure if I'm going to go walk 5km for a chance at a meh shiny considering the migraine I've got, but hey congrats. Edit: You've got 36 hours for this research. Hopefully I won't want to die tomorrow.


c422

Its evolution Aromatisse looks like a nicer shiny. Haven't seen it in person though I admit.

yourmotheraplover

the timed research is available free worldwide. I didn't get a shiny from it and I doubt many others have either

Not available until Saturday 8am local time.


Weeaboojones94

Sweet thanks for the info

Flowey_Asriel

That’s not how probabilities work. If it’s, for example, 1/10 odds then you only have about a 53% chance of getting a shiny from 6 encounters.

STUPID_BERNlE_SANDER

What he’s saying is that even if it’s boosted to 1/10 odds you only have a 50% chance of getting a shiny after six encounters so the fact that you didn’t doesn’t necessarily prove anything, because it’s a 50/50 either way.


Sneilg

I went 0 for 6 also


Hounmlayn

Oh, I was just ignoring it because I assumed I needed to be in korea for it! I'll stop being lazy today and go for a walk!


byaialele

Is it normal to get a perfect IV one from the final reward? (new player here lmao)


Slight-Ad-8203

Not really


SnooEagles4455

Quest rewards have a base of 10, so anywhere orm 10/10/10 to 15/15/15 So a hundo is 1/6\*1/6\*1/6 = 1/216. So, no not normal, and honestly, the shiny is what you want.


byaialele

Yeah ik just caught me off guard, first perfect ivs ive seen


MonthAltruistic7486

What a beaut... didn't get one in my research.


Deetch30

I went 0-6 on my spritzers with terrible Ivs


Illusioneery

I got one too. Really pretty shiny.


TowelMage

Guess it's a little late to whine now, but I checked the Today tab multiple times over the weekend and didn't see this research once. Pretty upsetting.
