# Unreleased Shiny Pokémon

Sources checked: September 24, 2026

This dated list covers catalogue species and forms with no legitimate shiny release through 24 September 2026 across core-series games, GO and transferable gifts. A shiny lock in one game is not a global lock; an ended shiny event still counts as a release.

## Species with no shiny release

Pokémon: 24

No legitimate shiny route is documented for these species in the reviewed scope. Capturing a non-shiny individual and transferring it cannot turn it shiny; normal form changes do not reroll shininess.

## Additional exact forms

Pokémon: 26

An unreleased special form does not make its whole species unreleased. For example, Bloodmoon Ursaluna and ordinary Ursaluna have different shiny status. Battle forms derived from an unreleased shiny base are tracked separately here.

## Game-specific locks and released exceptions

Pokémon: 4

Comparison or prerequisite Pokémon

Volcanion’s shiny HOME reward began on 27 April 2026, so it is excluded. GO has released shiny Original and World Cap Pikachu despite core-series locks. Partner Cap can legitimately have shiny values in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, even with unchanged colours.
