What's the actual difference between Boss and Shiny?

[Daddy Kaneki]

Is it possible for a Boss to spawn Shiny?

[Shazza]

Alpha takes up the same visual slot as Lucky (shiny) so I don't think so, there also hasn't been any case of someone running into a shiny Alpha.

Alphas are large, Shinies have the Lucky trait (that can be passed to their offspring, but their shiny status doesn't carry). That's it.

what I figured out:
Lucky Pals (Shiny) and Bosses are stronger, although, a boss can be stronger than a lucky
Pal, whereas a lucky pal has a very, very low chance to get a negative trait.

Alpha pals (marked with the dungeon icon) - % of getting a slightly higher stat but mostly just bigger then their standard counterpart "chance of a Rare passive"
Shinys - have Improved stats with a "high chance of a Lucky passive"

pretty sure that is the only differences right now?

[Tazz]

no...no boss is shiny only the normal pal is shiny that what it call rare monster that why in that monster skill have lucky word on it , only if you lucky to find one shiny this monster only strong at mid tear when fully upgrade to 4 star but for boss if fully upgrade that is very powerful but very hard to upgrade because only spawn ones a day not like shiny it can easily be upgrade with the same species with non shiny

"Regular, Lucky, & Alpha are all the exact same strength outside of Passive Traits, so the best will always be a Regular Pal you have bred."

Strange, all my alphas are the same strength as normal pals (at the same level), just bigger. The only change I have ever seen is 5 more health or 1 more attack, which is nothing and can be easily explained by Pals having different breeding IV's

Today I encountered a lucky boss Dinossom Lux which should be level 47 and it was 0. Unfortunately I only have Ultra Spheres and no legendary Spheres so I lost it. (It had around 0.2% capture chance)

bosses are useless and shiny s have the lucky trait thats good for breeding.

Was it's size doubled, or just normal boss/ shiny size?
