Shiny Pokémon have always been the subject of glamorous captivation within the franchise network. These Pokémon possess various eye catching color schemes, zing and animations. These features surely distinct them from the rest, however do not hold any impact on the gameplay.

Pokémon Legends: Shiny Pokémon are now a lot easier to locate and catch than ever. Owing it to Arceus which has not only retained Shiny Pokémon but, also thanks to Game Freak revamping how Pokémon appear in the overworld along with catching mechanics in the new installment.

The actual odds don’t look like they have changed, one in 4,096 just like with other recent games, but Shiny Pokémon in Legends: Arceus can be spotted with ease in the overworld because of its unusual fascinating appearance and the disparate sound it makes while spawning. If you are travelling around Hisui then you may stumble upon one while spawning, as it is almost impossible to not come across one along way.

How Do I Find Shiny Pokémon?

There are various opportunities to hunt down Shiny Pokémon, however “mass outbreak” still stands as the best and most reliable method. It holds the chance for you to complete your Pokédex since the mass outbreak spawns are random. This way you can be pre-prepared to get them whenever they appear in a mass outbreak.

You will be warned about the mass outbreak and its location during the conversation with Jubilife Village Guard when you are leaving the village. For further guidance a small icon will also be visualized on screen over the area where the outbreak is occurring.

Follow the set of instructions to pursue Shiny Pokémon:

1. Start by turning off the auto-save in the game settings.
2. Next go to the vicinity where the mass outbreak is located.
3. Prepare any extra Poké Balls as a precaution measure as you may need it at the crafting bench.
4. Save your game manually from time to time.
5. Then head towards the mass outbreak spot in the map.
6. Catch or K.O the Pokémon until they stop respawning. (Note: At the time of outbreak there will be total of four Pokémon. When the number drops from four… be happy because it’s the indication that outbreak is ending.)
7. However, if there you found no Shiny Pokémon, close and restart the game.
8. In the afresh launched game, travel back to Jubilife Village.
9. Look around to see if the mass outbreak is still occurring there. If not; close the game and reset it again.
10. However if you find progressive mass outbreak there, hurry back to a base camp in the vicinal area and save the game.
11. Keep repeating these steps for 5 to10 times as needed until you acquire your Shiny Pokémon.

Saves in Jubilife Village should not be made since they might sabotage the mass outbreak. Additionally, avoid saving once you really experience the mass breakout because it will be lost if you restart your game after it.

If you get your hands on your precious Shiny Pokémon, and it decides to run away or gets knocked out; you can find it back by following:

• Step #1: Restart the game.
• Step #2: From the base camp, start travelling. The destination point in such scenario is directly the site of mass outbreak.
• Step #3: You don’t need to go back to Jubilife Village again.
