How shinies appear

Every stage holds a shiny with a probability of 8%. Luck adds up to 8% more (reached at 80 luck).
An eclipse rolls again with a probability of 20% (at most 90%).
Playing solo, a classic shiny can also appear: 2.5% per stage, up to 2 per run.
With 6 distinct shinies you unlock the Shiny Charm: every shiny chance is multiplied by 1.5, and shinies flee after 150 s instead of 120 s.
Shiny Stone (900 in the shop, 2 a day) guarantees a shiny in zone 1, between 40 and 150 s into the stage.
A new shiny species gives 120 stardust; a repeat gives 50.

It appears at a random moment between 40 and 420 s into the stage, so play the whole stage.
It spawns far away, 18 to 32 tiles from you: watch the edges of the screen and head toward it.
It has ×2.5 the normal HP: weaken it first, then capture it.
It flees after 120 s (150 s with the Shiny Charm): go for it as soon as you see it.
The game prefers families you do not have as shinies yet.
There is no pity: a missed shiny does not raise the next chance.
Bring enough damage and reach to weaken it in time: plan a build
