How to find shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
Shiny Pokémon make rare appearances in all biomes found in the Hisui region of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. You may even find a shiny Alpha Pokémon if luck is really on your side.
Unlike many of the previous Pokémon titles, the different colors of a shiny Pokémon are visible outside of battle, so it’s easy to tell if you’ve found one. There will also be a brief glow effect, accompanied by a sound effect, when you first see the Pokémon, and a glowing icon will appear next to its name.
When you find a shiny Pokémon, we recommend you quickly save your game so you can reload it if the Pokémon runs away.
If you’re planning on going shiny hunting, especially for a particular Pokémon, we recommend increasing your shiny odds by reaching a perfect level in its Pokédex entry and attending any massive or massive outbreaks that occur for this Pokémon.
As mentioned, shiny Pokémon are rare and hunting down a particular one can take a significant amount of time. Unless you are looking for a shiny Ponyta, an encounter with this shiny is guaranteed by completing Request 19: A Quirky Ponyta.
You can see the glow effect around the shiny Ponyta.
However, there is a way to increase your chances of shining for each Pokémon you encounter in Legends: Arceus…
Shiny Odds for Pokémon Legends: Arceus Explained
Shiny odds, also called shiny rates, refer to your chances of finding a shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
Each Pokémon species has its own set of shiny probabilities that are affected by five different factors:
- If you have the Shiny Charm
- If you are catching Pokémon during a massive outbreak of that species
- If you are catching Pokémon during a massive outbreak of that species
- Obtain research level 10 for a specific Pokémon’s Pokédex entry
- Earn a perfect Pokédex entry by completing all research tasks for a specific Pokédex entry.
Mass outbreaks are a good place to find shiny Pokémon.
It’s important to note that once you’ve obtained the Shiny Charm, you’ll also have at least research level 10 for every Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex, so at this point, both factors will always be in effect. .
thanks to Sibuna_switch on Twitter for this helpful chart explaining the current shiny odds in Pokémon Legends: Arceus after the Daybreak update (v 1.1.0):
Pokémon Legends: Arceus v 1.1.0 (Daybreak) introduces massive outbreaks, which are widespread outbreaks on a map. They have a modestly higher shine rate than normal wild Pokémon.

How to get the shiny amulet in Pokémon Legends: Arceus
The Shiny Charm will increase your chances of finding shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and to get it, you must reach research level 10 for each Pokémon in the Hisui Pokédex.
When an entry reaches research level 10, it receives a Poké Ball stamp next to its name in the Pokédex, so it’s easy to determine which entries you need to work on.
These Pokédex entries have reached research level 10.
It’s also important to remember that you don’t need to have any perfect Pokédex entries (where you’ve completed all the research tasks available for a Pokémon) to receive the Shiny Amulet.
However, having a perfect Pokédex entry for a Pokémon will increase that specific creature’s shine rate, so if you’re looking for a particular shine, it’s a good idea to complete its entry completely.
Once you have obtained Research Level 10, speak to Professor Laventon in whatever biome you are currently in. He will notice that the Pokédex is finally complete and will take you back to the galactic headquarters in Jubilife Village.
Here, after watching a cutscene, you will receive the Shiny Charm. However, if Laventon hasn’t already given you the other two Legends: Arceus starter Pokémon, you’ll get a short cutscene where he does it first.
The amulet itself can be found in the Key Items section of your inventory, but it is not necessary to equip it as you will automatically receive the bonus it provides from now on.
Our Pokémon Legends Arceus walkthrough will help you choose a starter Pokémon and win the Kleavor boss fight. You are also tasked with filling Hisui’s Pokédex by obtaining new evolutions such as Kleavor by evolving into Scyther, Wyrdeer by evolving into Stantler, Sneasler by evolving into Hisui Sneasel, and Overquil by evolving into Hisui Qwilfish. There are a ton of new evolution methods, including some for Eevee evolutions. Take the time to complete Requests too, like The Sea’s Legend, Wurmple’s Evolved! and find Wisp locations. Don’t forget to track all Unown locations as well.
