Cobblemon Chimeric Shinies

# Chimeric Shinies Chimeric Shinies is a Cobblemon addon that introduces a new type of mixed shiny Pokémon - **Chimeric Shinies** - multifacted creatures whose bodies contain a blend of shiny and non-shiny components. Instead of every shiny Pokémon being a uniform recolour, some species that are made up of two or more individuals or components can appear as chimeras, where only certain individuals or body parts possess the shiny mutation. This creates rare and visually unique Pokémon that feel more biologically plausible and exciting to discover. # ✨ Concept Many Pokémon are canonically composed of multiple organisms or body units: - Magneton is three Magnemite fused together - Dugtrio is three Diglett sharing a body - Exeggcute is a colony of six individual eggs In vanilla Pokémon, these always share the same shiny state. Chimeric Shinies asks a simple question: **What if each individual component of this unit could have its own shiny state?** The result is Pokémon like: - A Magneton with only one shiny orb - A Slowbro with a non-shiny Shellder tail - A Metang made up of a shiny and non-shiny Beldum pair Each combination produces a unique variant reflected in a dedicated chimera form for you to collect! # 🎲 How It Works When a shiny Pokémon spawns, there is a chance (configurable) that the mod may assign chimeric traits that determine which body components are shiny For supported species, the mod randomly rolls these configurations for the respective parts available Evolution is fully supported - the shiny configuration persists and is visually resolved in later forms, and not re-rolled at a later point # 🧬 Features - Adds chimeric shiny variants for multi-component Pokémon - Configurable spawn probability - Plays well with any mechanisms that increase shiny odds - Supports partial shiny configurations - Evolutions preserve chimeric structure - Helpful creative commands - Multiplayer and server compatible - Does not affect normal Pokémon - Full Pokédex support for viewing obtained forms ### V 1.1.0 * Shiny Shell Helmet now drops from evolving shiny Shellmet. Use either Shell Helmet item to craft your Escavalier Chimera how you wish, or trade a shiny for a non-shiny! * Supported stage 0 Pokémon now appear as non-shiny where appropriate. You will still be alerted to their presence in the wild, and will see a special icon in the summary! ### V 2.0.0 * Support for Cobblemon Special Fossils * Support for Cobblemon Poke Fusions Both these features add mechanics to help craft the specific chimera you wish! ### V 2.1.0 * Support for Cobblemon Spaceworldmons # ⚙️ Configuration A config file is generated on first launch: ``` config/chimeric_shinies.json ``` Options include: - Chance of any shiny Pokémon being chimeric - 0 turns off the mod, whilst 100 makes every shiny of a supported species chimeric - note that regular shinies will not spawn if this is set to 100, I suggest therefore using a value of 99 or under - Weighting for different chimera configurations - Two part chimeras only use A and B aspects, three part chimeras use A,B,C,AB,AC, and BC aspects. - I suggest keeping the single and combined aspects grouped at similar weights, but you are free to customise how you wish - Option to disable support for Twinned Pokémon species (species with multiple heads but share the same body from lowest evolution stage). # 👾 Current Supported Pokémon The initial release focuses on Pokémon whose bodies naturally consist of 2 or 3 individuals. More are planned to be supported with future updates!
