Profile Stats for Shinies and Promos isn't correct

Description: The "Amount of shiny Pokemon" Stat isn't correct - I have exactly 5 shinys, two of them are hatched by myself (Nidoran + Sandshrew), one is traded (Houndour) and two are also Promos (Mew claimed by myself, Summer Jumpluff is traded). Resetting cookies and clearing cache didn't resolve the issue, the number of shinies is also wrong in a different browser (Microsoft Edge). I didn't count anyone elses shinies, so I'm not sure if this is just a me-issue, or if others also have this problem. Prior to owning the Raffle Shiny, it also said 4, so it might not count that one correctly?

While typing this, I also noticed the count of Promos is off. I currently have 12 Adopts with a Promo-Medal (Summer Jumpluff, 2x Trading Gengar, Trading Golem, Summer Belossom, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Mewtu and Mew, Raikou and Suicune.) Maybe I'm misunderstanding what a Promo is, but I thought it counted everything with the Promo-Medal? xwx"

Hi SchokoKitsune,

just a guess. The categories "Amount of shiny Pokemon" and "Amount of promo Virtuadopts" only counts "normal dex", but not special dex pokemon/VAs and migrated VAs are not counted as well.

greetings

I think it's not a bug.
You actually have 4 shinies, shiny from special dex are not counted.
The same should be with Promos , only special dex Adopts should be in stastistics

Aaah, that does make sense - maybe the profile wording could be adjusted slightly, to make it clearer how it's meant?

I am now wondering if Mewtu or Mew is "special" and therefor counted as Promo, because both of them appear in the normal dex, but one of them has to be special, or the promo count is still wrong... and if it would count "normal" promos that appear in the national dex, it would also be wrong unless Mew or Mewtu is special. You know what would be great? A Wiki or Guide that explains this stuff xwx"

Shiny Mew's Promo-Symbol looks different. It counts as special and not as a regular Promo.

Hi guys,
So, my understanding regarding the promo meaning and the counts, according with my profile, is the following.

My profile says:
Promos Claimed: 10
Amount of promo Virtuadopts: 3

I have 10 promo pokemons:
Regular Dex:
3x Mewtwo
2x Moltres
1x Zapdos
1x Articuno

Special Dex:
2x Hawai Bellossom
1x Beachball Forretress

So, I believe "Promos Claimed" count for everything that has the Promo medal
and "Amount of promo Virtuadopts", only count the special dex pokemons :ugeek:
My Shinies :)

Sometimes is it really confusing, because "User Stats" and "Top Adopt" seem to count shinies and Promos diffrently.
For examble "Top Adopt" - also shows migraded ones, but "User Stats" does not. :wacko:

Hi leech,

I think we could rename: "Amount of promo Virtuadopts" to "Amount of Special Dex Promo" ;)
And than we should add: "Amount of Special Dex Monthlies", but we should exclude migrated ones.
The migrated ones could be shown in brackets behind it, like
--> Amount of Special Dex Promo: 10 (15)


"Promos Claimed" means something diffrently, "claimed" is the imporant word.
Look here: viewtopic.php?t=24024

For me
Promos claimed: 12 --> Are the ones you got through promo codes, it does not inclued the trades ones.
Amount of promo Virtuadopts: 14 --> special dex Promo (not monthly), without Shadow (Promo) VAs, migration included

So my guess you got some of you Promos through trade, right?
