Pokémon Arceus: How to Get Shiny Ponyta (Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods)
Shiny Pokémon are a rare and exciting find in any Pokémon game, sporting flashy color variations compared to their normal counterparts, and trainers can get a free Shiny Ponyta early on in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Unlike most Shinies in the game, this Ponyta appears as part of a Request that players can pick up in Jublifie Village and is guaranteed to spawn, so players won’t have to go Shiny hunting to add it to their team. The “A Peculiar Ponyta” Request becomes available after players complete “The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods” Mission by calming the Frenzied Kleavor, which is one of the first major story Missions players beat in the game.
New Requests will appear on the Request Board in Professor Laventon’s office as players level up in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and most of them are locked until players beat certain story Missions or catch specific Pokémon in the wild. The “A Peculiar Ponyta” Request has two prerequisites, and players will have to not only have calmed Kleavor, but they’ll also need to have caught a non-Shiny Ponyta before this request becomes available. Fortunately, Ponyta is relatively easy to find in the Obsidian Fieldlands, which is the first major area players explore in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
