ShinyPokes is an unofficial fan made tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or associated with Nintendo, Game Freak or The Pokemon Company. Pokemon and Pokemon character names are their trademarks. The app contains no assets from any Pokemon game.
ShinyPokes is a shiny hunting tracker. It counts your encounters, keeps your timers honest, logs every shiny you find and gives you one place to look back on all of them. Free, no ads, made by one person who hunts shinies too.
WHAT IT DOES
Hunt counter. Pick the Pokemon, the game and the method, and the app checks the combination is actually possible before you start. Count with a tap, watch the timer, and see your odds update as you go. Run up to four hunts at once in multi hunt. Put a hunt on hold and pick it up later.
Shiny found. When it happens, log the catch with the ball, the gender, marks and a nickname. The hunt moves to your collection and your Shiny Dex fills in.
Collection. Every shiny you have caught, with the game, the encounters and the time it took. Edit them, log past catches you found before the app, import a list, and share a card for each one.
Shiny Dex. All 1025 Pokemon, with the ones you own lit up. Dex and Living Dex views.
Locations. Where a Pokemon shows up in each game, and where the items are.
Gen 1 shiny check. Enter the stats from a Generation 1 catch and see whether it will be shiny when it comes forward.
Hunter levels. Encounters give a little XP, shinies give a lot. Your level shows as a border around your avatar. Turn it off if you would rather not.
Community. A feed of recent finds, live hunts happening right now, leaderboards, community stats and a chat with channels for hunting, trades and showing off. Community events like the Bank Run, where you fill a bingo card of shinies before the old transfer service closes.
Notifications. A mention in chat or a reply to your message reaches your phone.
Same account everywhere. Sign in with Apple, Google, Discord or an emailed link. Everything you track in the app is on shinypokes.com too, and the other way round.
I was recommended this app by a fellow shiny hunter and it has changed the game for me. I can neatly store all of my hunts in one spot. Keeping track of all my metrics on an app rather than my phone’s note app and some loose paper is a game changer! I highly recommend this app for shiny hunters of all levels!
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the app and that is helpful. If you ever have any suggestions or need any help, feel free to always reach out!
Where your shiny was caught, and two new Tap anywhere settings.
NEW
Caught at. When you save a shiny or edit a catch, you can now say where it was caught. Pick from the game's routes and areas, with the places your Pokemon is found listed first, or type a place yourself for gifts, legendaries and events. Route hunts fill it in for you. Turn on "Where it was caught" in your collection's card fields to see it on each card.
Two Tap anywhere settings. In Settings, Preferences, Counting, with Tap anywhere chosen, you can make a tap on the number count instead of opening it for typing, and fold the hunt buttons above the counter behind one Hunt options button, so a stray tap never opens another page.
FIXED
Dates in Edit catch and Log past hunt no longer show a day early in some time zones.
Multi-hunt auto-counts keep their rhythm over long sessions.
