Here's why:
* Shiny Odds: The chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon in the wild or through breeding is typically 1/4096. This applies to Mystery Gifts as well.
* Pre-Determined: The Pokémon you receive from a Mystery Gift is usually pre-determined by the event itself. This means the shiny odds are determined at the time the event is created, not when you receive it.
Therefore, while it's possible to get a shiny Pokémon from a Mystery Gift, it's not guaranteed and depends on the specific event.
Here's a summary:
* No guaranteed shinies: You can't rely on Mystery Gifts to get a specific shiny.
* Slim chance: There's a 1/4096 chance the Mystery Gift Pokémon will be shiny, the same as regular encounters.
* Event-dependent: The shiny odds for a Mystery Gift are pre-determined by the event itself.
Tips for increasing your chances:
* Keep trying: Keep receiving Mystery Gifts, as the more you receive, the higher your chances of getting a shiny.
* Research events: Look up information about specific Mystery Gift events to see if they offer any increased shiny rates.
Remember, getting a shiny Pokémon from a Mystery Gift is a matter of luck, but keep trying, and you might get lucky!
