I Gave a Shiny to Every NPC in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

@@exLightningg We know,, everyone says it - but for me , it's a totally Natural experience what Scarlet & Violet did. I know the near total majority wants the jingle but I just find it daft and combined with Outbreak exploits; people have made the Shinies almost as common as the ,, commons! It's simply just _so_ much tougher, and so rewarding to find one in Scarlet/Violet - I love the fact you actually have to make an effort and _look._

Something crazy that won't get appreciated enough is the fact that mothim is one of the hardest shinies to get in the game. It only spawns in the wild with no possibility for outbreaks or any other forced spawn. It took ages to get one for my shiny living dex

Yeah i hunted the shiny alpha but i wish the worms were easier to get

Enamorus is still Shiny Locked so ATM it's not possible Maybe it'll be possible in Indigo Disk since it'll have a Legendary hunt

[@UntroubledPlacid]

@@anonanonymous9670 well, obviously not the ones that are shiny locked haha. Nobody has found a way to shiny hunt legendaries in LA right? Well the thing is, he can trade over the locked ones from other games, like shiny arceus from brilliant diamond.

[@crayfishfuture]

⁠​⁠@@UntroubledPlacidYes, you can trade over shiny legendaries. However, they were talking about Enamorus, which is not available to shiny hunt in any other game (or in PLA, obviously). If they add a way to hunt it in S/V or Go, or an event shiny, then you can have the shiny dex entry for every Pokémon.

[@UntroubledPlacid]

@@crayfishfuture well, having 241 pokemon shiny out of 242 is still something to be proud or content about. If there is going to be a time it’s able shiny hunted, he can just add it later imo.
