Pokémon Monomyth Shiny Odds

Pokémon Monomyth is a free ROM hack of Pokémon Emerald by Team Monomyth, set in the Athanto region and released on October 30, 2026. Current public evidence separates the shiny color behavior from the still-unconfirmed encounter probability.

Starter selection, the hunt players argue about — Starter select. Whether a shiny starter exists is still open.

A normal Explobra sprite, not a shiny.

Published rate evidence

Method	Rate	Status
Wild encounter	—	Current DexDB page gives no numeric rate
Egg	Not separately published	1 comment says color can differ; rate blank
Starter soft reset	Not separately published	Open since launch
Charm, Masuda, DexNav, chain fishing	—	No Monomyth source

Coats and shinies are different rolls

DexDB’s coat page says 348 of 361 species can roll a coat, the busiest species reaches 390,625 coats, and a shiny skips the coat roll entirely. There is a Color Variants toggle. I would not hunt a coat and a shiny in the same reset and expect both.

Ways people hunt, and where the page stops

For wild encounters, record the current patch version when comparing a published rate; the source pages linked here do not establish one.
Soft resetting a static Pokémon is ordinary GBA practice. For the starter, launch-week posts still had no confirmation, and a developer reply was described as evasive. I am not upgrading that into “starters can be shiny.”
One comment says breeding can produce a different color. The odds for that egg are not in the comment, so the cell stays blank.
Anything that sounds like a modern shiny charm is a main-series habit. I have no Monomyth page for it.

Questions

What is the shiny rate?

The DexDB coats page checked on 2 November 2026 does not publish a numeric rate. Earlier community references to 1/8,192 could not be reproduced from the accessible source pages, so the rate cell is left blank.

Can a shiny also have a coat?

DexDB says a shiny keeps its own colors and never rolls a coat.

Is the starter shiny huntable?

Players have been soft-resetting since launch without a public confirmation. Breeding “different colors” is also only a comment. I am leaving both as open.
