The folks over at <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/the-op\/news\/pokemon-lets-go-eevee-pikachu-shiny-exclusive-details-31591\">Dot Esports<\/a>\u00a0encountered one of these very rare Pok\u00e9mon during the event, and have now shared details on the experience to give fans an idea of what to expect when they get their hands on the game later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Shiny Pok\u00e9mon &#8211; which are known for their distinct colouring that is different to the standard design for each creature &#8211; will keep their usual colouring on the overworld display, only changing colour once the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/mobile\/pokemon_go\"><strong>Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/strong><\/a>-like catching sequence begins. If you look carefully, however, a small glimmer of &#8220;star-like particles&#8221; will appear above any shiny Pok\u00e9mon on the overworld screen, giving you the chance to touch that particular &#8216;mon and catch it for your collection. With this being a demo, there is a small chance that this could change before launch, but we&#8217;d imagine the method will remain for the full release.<\/p>\n<p>This has the potential to make finding shiny Pok\u00e9mon a little bit easier, as shiny hunters will be able to simply ignore any Pok\u00e9mon in the wild that clearly aren&#8217;t shiny, rather than hoping for one to appear through random encounters. Employees at the event told Dot Esports that &#8220;they&#8217;d only seen two people find a shiny Pok\u00e9mon in the wild&#8221; previously, however, suggesting that they are still very much a rarity. Of course, it has also been confirmed that any shiny Pok\u00e9mon from Pok\u00e9mon GO will keep their shiny status when transferred over to Let&#8217;s Go Pikachu and\u00a0Eevee.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you often spend your time tracking down shiny Pok\u00e9mon for your collection?
