The Shiny.dat file is a binary file that contains a list of Pokémon IDs, along with their corresponding shiny status. This file is used by the game to verify whether a Pokémon can be shiny or not. When a player encounters a Pokémon, the game checks the Shiny.dat file to determine if that Pokémon can be shiny. If it can, the game will then generate a random number to determine whether the Pokémon will actually appear shiny.

PGSharp is a heavily modified, third-party Android application built on top of the official Pokémon GO client. It allows players to bypass the requirement of physical movement by injecting a joystick, custom maps, coordinates feeds, and automated tools directly into the interface.

The shiny.dat file helps log these specific encounter parameters and coordinates, allowing the overlay UI to display custom timers, names, or visual indicators (like a shiny icon next to the Pokémon on the map). 3.

You can manually create a Shiny.dat file using a simple text editor (like Notepad). Since Pokémon GO Shiny availability changes frequently with events and updates, you'll need to maintain the list yourself.

Pokémon GO is constantly evolving. Niantic adds new shinies every few weeks during Community Days, seasonal events, and new Generations releases. The shiny.dat file that came with your Pgsharp installation may be weeks or months old, meaning:
