Shiny Pets
Shiny variants roll at 1 in 1,000 on every pet you receive — odds, shiny fusion, and a gallery of every shiny sprite.
Odds
Every pet that enters your inventory rolls for a shiny at 0.1% (1 in 1,000) — claw pulls, bundles, the Fortune Wheel, Chest Rush, Vinnie's Gamble, the grove, the garden, founder rewards, all of them. Shiny-chance buffs multiply the base rate rather than adding to it (a +25% buff takes 0.1% to 0.125%).

Star-Touched — Pulled a shiny pet variant.
Shiny fusion
You do not have to get lucky twice. A pet at its max star can absorb an owned shiny of the same species for 
10,000: the base keeps its level, XP, items and slot and becomes shiny; the shiny partner is consumed. Guaranteed. It only works on species that can be fused — a pet that arrives fully starred is only ever shiny if it drops shiny. Evolved pets keep their shiny through evolution (every evolved form has a shiny sprite).
