Pokemon Legends: Z-A can keep 10 ultra-rare shiny Pokemon spawned on the map at any time, and it's impossible to lose them unless you knock them out or are silly like me and scare them away

The player character in Pokemon Legends: Z-A looks at the three starter Pokemon, Totodile, Tepig, and Chikorita.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has a new approach to shiny hunting which could make it a far less tedious affair than in every other Pokemon game.

Shiny Pokemon have always been extremely elusive beings that hit you with the harsh reality that you still have another version of all 1 million – or however many there are now – Pokemon to catch. Knowing how to get shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is largely the same as before, but in good news for the series, Game Freak has made the creatures a touch less elusive than before.
