Shiny hunting is a beloved activity among Pokémon players, but it’s proving to be quite difficult in Scarlet and Violet due to the lack of accessibility features. In a recent Reddit thread, players shared their frustrations and offered tips on how to spot Shiny spawns, as the game provides no helpful information other than their appearance differences.
One player suggested a strategy of saving after defeating 60 Pokémon and then continuing with the outbreak, resetting if no Shiny is found. Another player advised waiting to use a special item until after defeating the 60 Pokémon for maximum shiny odds. However, some players argued that using the quick battle method was challenging during mass outbreaks, as it caused them to miss out on potential battles.
Players expressed that spotting Shiny Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet is nearly impossible, especially when the alternate version doesn’t differ much from the base one. Poor lighting conditions exacerbate the problem, making it difficult to clearly see the spawns.
One frustrated player ranted about the lack of visual effects for shiny spawns on the overworld, which makes it impossible for players with impaired vision or color blindness to spot them. Even players with perfect vision struggle to differentiate these shinies and often resort to saving after defeating 60 Pokémon.
Shiny hunting is a popular endgame activity, as these rare Pokémon have incredibly low spawn rates and are highly sought after. Some shinies, like Shiny Furret introduced through The Teal Mask’s DLC, are particularly coveted for their alternate designs.
