Can Pokemon in the friend safari be shiny?

Question

Just wondering...

Answer 1

Yes. In fact, rumours state there is an increased rate of shinies appearing in the Friend Safari (although I'm unsure on the exact chance)

Source: I have caught two there myself

It isn't confirmed if there is an increased shiny rate.

True but many reports say there is. We won't really know if this is true or if it's truly luck until Nintendo realeases it.

Yeah, but until then, it's a rumour. :3
