Pokemon Scarlet & Violet add new Shiny variations for players to hunt down and capture. Below is a list of all new Shiny Pokemon around the Paldea region, and how players can catch them.
Shiny hunting is one of the most popular mechanics of modern Pokemon games. Players spend time hunting down alternately colored Pokemon species to catch and add to teams, and even obtain ways to improve the Shiny odds of different games. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet have added plenty of new Shiny species for trainers to hunt down, and a new way to boost Shiny encounters.
The base Shiny odds for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are a possible 1/4096. This means the chance of bumping into a Shiny without any boosts is very low. While Pokemon will now appear Shiny in the overworld of Paldea, finding a full-odds random spawn is still a special treat.
However, players can improve their odds by crafting sandwiches with the “Sparkling Power” after they have beaten the game, by increasing the spawn of certain types with the sandwich “Encounter Power”, and by unlocking the Shiny Charm after completing the Paldea National Pokedex.
Be sure to check out our Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Shiny hunting guide and our Best shiny sandwich recipes so that you can start catching ’em all in the most efficient way.
