Beating a Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>game typically opens the door to post-game content. But a large portion of the community tends to take their journey a step further by attempting to hunt for and capture Shiny Pok\u00e9mon<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>
Much like Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/em>, Scarlet <\/em>and Violet <\/em>have implemented several core changes to how the franchise\u2019s Shiny formula<\/strong> has worked in past games\u2014namely through the addition of new boost mechanics, Tera Raids, and the Let\u2019s Go<\/em> style of battling. And that doesn\u2019t even take into account the return of Mass Outbreaks and variable odds depending on the type of battle you are in.\u00a0<\/p>
Just like in most of the more recent Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>titles, all static encounters<\/strong>, or Pok\u00e9mon that are always going to be encountered at a certain location or set point in quests, are Shiny-locked<\/strong>. This means players will not be able to reset their game after saving before set encounters to try and find a Shiny Legendary or starter Pok\u00e9mon. The same applies to Gift Pok\u00e9mon and in-game trades with NPCs too.\u00a0<\/p>
But for players who do want to Shiny hunt in the Paldea region, everything else is fair game and the odds are fairly straightforward. So here is everything we know about the Shiny odds in Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>
