Leaked details supposedly hint that shinies appear in the overworld for Pokémon Legends: Arceus

gamepur.com:

Shiny Pokémon have been the toughest to find in nearly every Pokémon. But, according to leakers, things could work much differently for Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The details that the leakers have been sharing hint that players might be able to find shiny Pokémon appearing in the overworld, rather than having to find out if they’re shiny by battling them.

In the leaked image, we see the leaker sharing a screenshot of encountering a Ponyta in the wild. It’s in its shiny form, which features blue flames instead of its standard red and orange coloring.

The screenshot shows the player viewing the Ponyta from a distance rather than being in a battle in it. Because the Pokémon Legends battle system will be happening in the overworld, this does make sense, but we cannot verify or confirm this leaker’s images.

Shiny Pokémon appearing in the overworld occurred for the Pokémon: Let’s Go Pikachu and Let’s Go Eevee games, Nintendo Switch remasters of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow versions.
