Best Quick And Easy Method To Get Shiny Pokémon In Pokémon Legends: Z-A
The fastest way to get Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is by entering and exiting a Wild Zone back and forth until a Shiny spawns.
Now, you can do it manually, but the quickest way is to use fast travel.
All you have to do is head to any Wild Zone on the map and check the Pokémon; if they are not Shiny, fast travel to the same Wild Zone.
There are multiple Wild Zones around Lumiose City, and you can use any of them to farm your Shiny.
Once a Shiny spawns, it will not despawn until and unleass you attack it. That being said, a small tip we would like to give is to make sure the Pokémon up close as from a distance, they look like regular Pokémon.
But when you go close, you will hear a chime and the Pokémon will start sparkling. When you target the Pokémon, you can also see the Shiny icon.
How To Increase Your Chances To Get Shiny Pokémon In Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Like previous games, you can use certain items to boost your chance of getting a Shiny Pokémon. In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you can greatly increase your Shiny spawn chance using the Shiny Charm.
You can get the Shiny Charm at Level 50 by progressing and completing Mable's research requests.
The usual spawn chance of a Shiny Pokémon is 1/4,096. Once you use the Shiny Charm, the chance increases to 1/1024, which is a way better odds than the base one.
