Will shiny Pokemon appear when playing Pokemon on an emulator?
I'm playing the original Ruby (mugs version) on My boy! emulator for android and I am seriously considering looking for Shinies BUT, are there shinies in roms?
Or does the RNG process that determines if shinies spawn or not get removed in the emulation process?
Best Answer
Shininess is determined by values inherent in the pokemon, so shinies are just as likely in an emulator.
