So you saw this whole talk about shiny Pokemon and wanted to know how to get them, huh? We explain that in this guide about All Shiny Locked Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet. But in this guide, we run through the entire Shiny Pokemon Scarlet and Violet list.
Key Takeaways
- You can find shiny Pokemon almost anywhere in the entire game.
- You can increase your chances of finding/encountering shiny Pokemon using in-game items.
- Shiny Charm and specific Sandwich recipes are great for hunting shiny Pokemon.
- Not all Pokemon can be obtained in their shiny form through everyday encounters.
- Legendary Pokemon from the box art, Kiraidon, and Miraidon, are not obtainable in their shiny forms.
How To Increase Shiny Encounter Chances
You can increase the odds of getting shiny Pokemon in multiple ways, and here we list each of these methods. Some are better than others, but that’s all up to personal choice, depending on what you find more easily accessible.
Shiny Charm
The Shiny Charm is granted to the player once they complete the Pokedex. Upon completion and getting the Shiny Charm, the player’s chances of encountering a shiny pokemon bump from 0.1% to a much better 0.29%.
Sandwiches & Herba Mystica
The only way to obtain these fantastic herbs is by fighting and winning 5-Star, or above, Tera Raid Battles.
In the lore, wild pokemon ate these herbs when researchers were trying to grow them and turned them into Titan Pokemon. This can be seen in the side-quest, where you must defeat all the Titan Pokemon.
If you want a detailed guide on all the Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Sandwich Recipes then we have a guide for you.
A new mechanic introduced in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the increased encounter rate based on the type of sandwich you make and take with you on your picnic. These picnic meals grant unique powers, such as:
- Egg Power: More likely to find Pokemon eggs.
- Catching Power: More likely for capture attempts to succeed.
- Exp. Point Power: More EXP gained.
- Item Drop Power: More materials are found after battles.
- Raid Power: More rewards from Tera Raid Battles.
- Title Power: You are more likely to find Pokemon with titles.
- Sparkling Power: More likely to find Shiny Pokemon.
- Humungo Power: More likely to find Large Pokemon.
- Teensy Power: More likely to find Small Pokemon.
- Encounter Power: More likely to encounter certain types.
Different ways to make a sandwich include specific ingredients corresponding to pokemon types. Make the sandwich for the type of pokemon you wish to encounter, and your odds will increase.
