If the “Mass Outbreak” option is ever done, how would we count shinies caught in PoGo or Pokémon Sleep? Their rates are a lot higher in some cases and have events focused on certain evolutionary families every so often. They also have easier catch mechanics. Does that still line up with the “yes, hunted for,” “yes, found by chance,” “no, couldn’t catch,” “no, haven’t found” choices or would shinies caught due to the advantageous shiny rates/catch mechanics of these games not count?
I believe they still line up with the options!
These polls are going to be much more… subjective? Case by case? Since the options are more about intent to find, rather than just fact of the matter. So a Community day shiny for a person will be ‘hunted for’ if they partook specifically to get a shiny Pokemon, whereas someone who just happened to be playing at that time might vote ‘by chance’ ^^
That being said, I’ll probably add a couple more options to cover more experiences! Such as ‘Yes, I received one in a trade’ or ‘yes, but I don’t remember how I got it’
