Shiny hunting has become a key part of the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> experience, and players will go to extreme lengths to add new Shinies to their collection. The thrill of finding these rare variants never gets old, whether you were intentionally searching for that Shiny or you just so happened to stumble upon it while making your way to the next city.<\/p>
With the more recent feature of Pok\u00e9mon spawning in the overworld, Shiny hunting is less about chain fishing or running into wild encounters and more about spotting that one Pok\u00e9mon in the crowd with a different hue to it. This is the case in Let\u2019s Go, Pikachu!<\/em>, Let\u2019s Go, Eevee!<\/em>, Legends: Arceus<\/em>, and of course Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em>.<\/p>
And as with other Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games, Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em> has certain Shiny Pok\u00e9mon that are rarer than others. In some cases, this has to do with the rarity of the Pok\u00e9mon itself in the Paldea region or the circumstances it takes to get a hold of one. In other cases, a few Pok\u00e9mon naturally have rarer forms, and you\u2019ll have to be extra lucky to find one that is both Shiny and in its rarer form. <\/p>
Shiny Mew, for example, can only be obtained through a long and tedious process<\/a> that requires access to other Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games, but it’s currently unavailable in Scarlet <\/em>and Violet<\/em> until Pok\u00e9mon Home<\/em> becomes compatible.<\/p>
