Welcome to the LumiWiki Pokémon documentation.

This section provides information about Pokémon mechanics, encounters, and gameplay changes relevant to Lumiose Online.

The primary focus is on functionality that differs from the original Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Documentation Scope

LumiWiki focuses on Pokémon mechanics and behavior specific to Lumiose Online. General Pokémon information that remains unchanged from the original game may be referenced from existing Pokémon resources.

Pokémon in Lumiose Online

Lumiose Online builds upon the Pokémon systems found in Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

Players can encounter Pokémon throughout the game, with certain encounter mechanics modified by the multiplayer project.

Currently documented changes include:

Shiny encounter probability
Alpha Pokémon encounter probability
Removal of guaranteed Alpha encounters

For a complete comparison, see Changes from Base Game.

Pokémon Encounter Mechanics

Shiny Pokémon

The documented base Shiny encounter probability in Lumiose Online is:

1 in 4,096 (approximately 0.0244%)

This represents the base probability for an individual encounter.

Shiny Hunting

A 1 in 4,096 encounter probability does not guarantee a Shiny Pokémon within 4,096 encounters. Actual results can vary significantly.

Alpha Pokémon

Lumiose Online modifies Alpha Pokémon encounters.

Guaranteed Alpha Spawns

Guaranteed Alpha encounters from the original Pokémon Legends: Z-A have been removed.

Alpha Encounter Probability

Pokémon have a documented chance of becoming Alpha at a rate of:

1 in 2,048 (approximately 0.0488%)

Alpha Hunting

Pokémon that were guaranteed Alpha encounters in the original game should not be assumed to retain that behavior in Lumiose Online.

Pokémon Gameplay Mechanics

This section will document Pokémon-related systems and any confirmed differences introduced by Lumiose Online.

Topics may include:

Pokémon encounters and spawning
Catching mechanics
Pokémon battles
Pokémon behavior
Multiplayer-related interactions
Changes to existing gameplay mechanics

Specific mechanics will receive dedicated documentation when their behavior has been verified.

Multiplayer Pokémon Interactions

Lumiose Online introduces a shared multiplayer environment.

Pokémon-related multiplayer functionality will be documented here as individual mechanics are confirmed.

This section may eventually include information about:

Pokémon visibility and synchronization
Multiplayer encounter behavior
Player interactions involving Pokémon
Supported battle or trading functionality

These are documentation topics, not confirmation that each feature is currently implemented.

Potential article content includes:

Pokémon name and artwork
Pokédex number
Type information
Evolution information
Encounter locations
Alpha and Shiny mechanics
