one day i'll finally catch a spiritomb…

explanation

all shiny alpha pokemon listed were caught while having the shiny charm (and research level 10, which is required to get the shiny charm)

species

the name given in the pokedex

form

intraspecific variation. gender forms are marked ♂/♀ (and gender is not given when it makes no form difference). other forms are given by their official names (except unown, where the corresponding character is given). if blank: the species has no forms (unless it's vulpix or ninetales, but the alolan form can never be alpha)

area

the location on the regional map the pokemon was caught in

subarea

the named location within an area the pokemon was caught(/found?) in. if blank: no subarea is listed in the bio

conditions

any situational boost to either alpha chance or shiny chance:

fixed: spawned in a place where the same species of alpha always appears (except when it's replaced by a massive mass outbreak)
MO: spawned in a mass outbreak (as distinct from a massive mass outbreak), which has increased shiny rate (i haven't found any shiny alphas from these yet)
MMO: spawned in a massive mass outbreak, which has increased shiny and alpha rate. MMOs can have either one or two stages. an arrow (→) indicates that the caught pokemon spawned in the second stage. when the first stage features a preevolution, the species are listed explicitly. if "alpha" is written after the arrow, it means the second stage was entirely alphas. when the species does not evolve (e.g., pachirisu or unown), any second stage will always be alpha
N/A: a pokemon randomly spawned as both shiny and alpha independently with no situational boosts

perfect research?

if yes, every research task for that species was completely finished at the time it spawned, granting an additional shiny chance bonus. if blank: not perfect
