Shiny

★ Ampharos shiny

Ampharos shiny in PokeMMO

In PokeMMO, each wild Pokémon has a 1 in 30,000 chance of being shiny. Donator status and the Shiny Charm each improve it by 10% (about 1 in 27,000 with one of them).

The easiest way is to hunt a shiny Flaaffy and evolve it: it stays shiny.

Hordes are the fastest way: with Sweet Scent, every Pokémon of the horde rolls its own chance, so a horde of 5 gives 5 chances per encounter.

Best spots to hunt a shiny Flaaffy

1.Route 43Johto · Grass · horde of 5≈ 0.25 per encounter
2.Route 42Johto · Grass≈ 0.15 per encounter

Breeding: two shiny parents always give a shiny egg.

Egg moves

In PokeMMO either parent passes an egg move, as long as the egg can learn it. A parent of another species is always the father. Here is who can bring each move to Ampharos, and the breeds to chain when nobody learns it directly.
