Pokémon Legends: Arceus: How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Pokémon
Pokémon Legends: Arceus continues the Pokémon tradition of allowing players the opportunity to catch visually distinct shiny Pokémon as a rare reward for persistent players.

Finding shiny Pokémon in the wild is different than in prior Pokémon games, and players will need to spend a lot of time working on their Pokédex to increase their odds.
