In any Pokémon game, there’s usually at least one rare item that players really want to get. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, for example, many players aim to obtain the Shiny Charm as soon as possible. Many believe the chances of finding shiny Pokémon are higher in this game, making it one of the easiest titles to hunt shinies. Having the Shiny Charm can make a big difference by increasing your chances of catching shiny Pokémon, so it’s a worthwhile item to obtain.
How to Unlock the Shiny Charm
You’ll receive the Shiny Charm after reaching Level 50 in Mable’s Research. This involves completing enough quests to earn enough points to level up. Some quests give more points than others, so focus on those to speed up the process.
How Does the Shiny Charm Work?
The Shiny Charm boosts your chances of encountering shiny Pokémon in the wild. It works by generating two extra personality values in the data, which triples your odds of finding a shiny. Because of this boost, it’s best to wait until you have the Shiny Charm before you start your shiny hunting sessions. Once you have it, the Shiny Charm is a key item, meaning it’s always active and you don’t need to do anything special to use it.
Tips for Shiny Hunting
When searching for shiny Pokémon, turn up the volume so you can hear the shiny sound cue. Keep an eye out for any Pokémon with different colors or sparkling effects, as these are signs of a shiny Pokémon.
