The shiny factor is visible on page 3 of the adoption, which is the point at which you actually adopt it. You can also see in the My Pets list, where there will be an "S" under the attributes, as well as on the pet's page, where it will state "Shiny" below the counters.

Remember the Gambler's Fallacy. It states that many gamblers believe that a game of luck is "due" after a while in a game in which every round is completely random among the same number of items with equal distributions. That, however, is not true; every round is independent of one another, meaning that you have the exact same odds every time. While your chances in VRAC are 1 in 100 when you adopt the first pet, they are still 1 in 100 when you adopt the second, third, hundredth, or thousandth.
However, while we're on the subject of Gambler's Fallacy, the initial theory is correct when playing a game with playing cards in which the cards are not shuffled back into the deck after the first hand. |

Also, to check if they are shiny, when you are on "My Pets" page, if you see the letter "S" next to the adoptable, that means it is a shiny. I know some shiny Pokemon are hard to distinguish from their original form, so that "S" is a good double checker. Last edited by Quadcentruo; March 14, 2012 at 04:08:54 AM. |

Honestly, I thought the site was trolling me with Gligar. I had gotten 2 shinies in <10 attempts, so I was pretty angry when it took almost 400 tries to get it right... Last edited by ThePokeMan; March 14, 2012 at 03:08:53 PM. |

That means you chose to give it an everstone. You can change it by clicking the checkmark box next to it, then choosing the "Take Everstone" option from the pull-down list at the bottom of the page.

Look at my massive list of shinies. Rufflet came to me after 8 adopts.
Also, I should tell you something. On the page it says, 'Adoption successful', click refresh. Presto- You'll have just adopted two of the pokemon without having gone through the loong adoption process. It's how I manage to spam for shinies so quickly~ |
