Shiny Pokemon encounters?

Question

Hello, I'm playing Pokémon Sun and I caught an shiny Salandit, but it turn out to be a male, and I really wanted an female. Is it possible to encounter the same shiny Pokémon twice?

Answer 1

unfortunately you are stuck with a male shiny. if you want/need shiny salazzle you will have to catch a second shiny salandit that is female. it is still possible to catch a second shiny salandit, but hard as all shiny encounters are and with only a 25% chance of getting a female. the male you have now you should just trade of to a friend for something good. you can catch multiple shinies of the same species, just not that same, individuall shiny salandit

Thank you very much. I'll try and catch another shiny Salandit and hopefully it's a female haha. If not I'll try and trade it for a female.

it took me absolutely ages just to find a normal female salandit. good luck to you!
