Tracking Shiny Pokemon, Regional Variants, and Cosmetics

Identifying Shiny Pokemon

The resource pack updates entity portraits with specific visual indicators so you can identify rare targets before initiating a battle.

• Shiny Marks: Shiny Pokemon feature special marks directly on their radar icons. Keep an eye on your minimap while traveling; if a marked icon appears, head directly toward that coordinate to secure the rare encounter.

Spotting Regional Forms and Custom Cosmetics

Pokemon with alternate appearances or equipped items are mirrored accurately on your radar:

• Form Variations: Regional variants and distinct forms render with their specific face textures rather than a default species portrait. You can immediately tell which regional form is nearby without needing to get within direct line of sight.
• Hats and Cosmetic Items: If a Pokemon is wearing special cosmetic items or hats, the radar icon displays those accessories on the portrait. This applies to both wild spawns and your own party members nearby.
