Sunkern questions

Is Sunkern a PokéSurvivor starter?

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

What type is Sunkern in PokéSurvivor?

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

Can Sunkern be shiny?

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

Is Sunkern a rift legendary?

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