Pokelike Shiny Trait Points
Direct answer
In Pokelike v3.1, a normal Pokémon contributes 1 point to each represented type. Shiny adds 1 point, and Mutant adds another 1: a Shiny Mutant therefore contributes 3 points before passive bonuses. Each pair of points gives one Tier, with the client capped at T12. The Wiki Analyzer currently accepts normal and Shiny members through T6; it does not accept Mutants or passive bonuses.

Point rule in the current client
Sources: Pokelike official v3.1 client — evolution, encounter and Trait evidence
- Normal: 1 point per represented type.
- Shiny: add 1 point. Mutant: add 1 more point.
- Dual-type members contribute the resulting value to both types.
- Divide each type’s points by 2 and round down for its Tier before the separate bonus logic; the client caps the final result at T12.
Four verified examples without passive bonuses
These examples were executed against the pinned official client function in an isolated browser. They verify point-to-Tier conversion, not the outcome of a battle.

| Water-type inputs | Points | Water Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Two normal members | 1 + 1 = 2 | T1 |
| One Shiny member | 2 | T1 |
| One Mutant member | 2 | T1 |
| One Shiny Mutant and one normal member | 3 + 1 = 4 | T2 |
Why the Analyzer can differ from your game
The current Analyzer input supports up to six normal or Shiny members, giving a maximum of 12 points and T6 per type. It does not accept Mutant state, extra-Trait passive effects, or the client’s separate Tier bonus. If your game uses those bonuses, treat the tool result as an incomplete baseline.
Story and Nuzlocke Trait results remain unavailable in this tool until their full mode conditions are implemented. This is a tool limitation, not a claim that the game has no Trait logic in those modes.
Effect descriptions and special modes
The Traits hub now displays the official v3.1 descriptions for T1 through T6. The game also contains higher Tiers; the tool’s six-Tier range describes its current input capacity.
The client has a no-Traits condition that returns no active Tiers. Read the challenge’s own rules, then inspect the effect your game shows. Displayed descriptions alone do not simulate timing, stacking, or chance.

What the source does not prove
- Official client snapshot v3.1; later versions may change the rule.
- Isolated function checks do not establish battle win rates or every passive interaction.
- Mutant and Shiny Mutant contribution is documented here but is not accepted by the current Analyzer.
