Pokémon Legends Z-A: Shiny Pokémon Hunting and Locking Explained
TL;DR
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Shiny Pokémon are rare variants with a base encounter rate of 1 in 4096, which can be increased to 1 in 1024 by obtaining the Shiny Charm after completing Mable's Research. The best method for hunting involves repeatedly rerolling Pokémon in Wild Zones by fast-traveling and despawning/reloading Pokémon, while manually saving helps preserve shiny encounters. Some Pokémon, like gift, story-related, and legendary Pokémon, are Shiny-Locked and cannot be found as shiny in the wild.
