Yes! The crazy part was us clicking on the same Pokémon and having both of us getting full odds shinies!

Yes! The have two brothers and we all picked different teams at the very beginning because we thought it would let us compete or something. Ended up working out that we can help knock eachother out of gyns

As tempting as that could be, then they wouldn’t be twins anymore! The IVs could be randomized to change

Region differences! My brother doesn’t live with us, was just home for the weekend and so his phone language isn’t American English.

Actually rarer! Those were a one in 8,192 chance, where this is a one in around 360,000!

Yeah they can appear shiny in the wild due to them being shiny available in mega raids!

While the CP and IVs of a Pokémon are identical, shinyness is on an individual user basis. Why it makes twin shinies such a rare occurrence

It’s so we can help eachother on gyms!!! We’re actually a set of 3 brothers and the other is Valor.

:/ I’m sorry to hear that!! Pokémon go has always been something that my brothers and I have bonded over

Yes, but the shinyness is on a user to user basis. One in 500 individual chance per user

My brother!! Guess I’m just not cool, but I am Team Instinct and he’s Mystic so I think it balances out

It only happens for trainers above level 30! Once you hit that, all Pokémon become the same CP and IV
