Kartana questions

Is Kartana a PokéSurvivor starter?

No. Kartana joins the collection from the Alola gacha, or as a wild shiny if you defeat one.

What type is Kartana in PokéSurvivor?

Kartana is Grass / Steel. Attack type follows the move, not the Pokémon, so a Normal move such as Tackle still deals Normal damage.

Can Kartana be shiny?

Yes. A wild Kartana is shiny at 1/4096, and a gacha copy is shiny at 1/100. Defeating the wild shiny adds it to the collection.

Is Kartana a rift legendary?

No. Kartana can appear in waves. If its BST sits in a boss band, it can also be one of the five timed bosses.
