Pokemon Legends Z-A how to Shiny hunt Mega Dimension guide

For those playing the new Mega Dimension DLC for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we have a new guide going over how to Shiny hunt.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game was a little bit infamous among Shiny hunters – to this day, there’s actually no way to increase your Shiny odds other than the Shiny Charm. In previous titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you could use mass outbreaks or the Masuda Method to make Shiny Pokemon easier to find or hatch. But in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, you were stuck with 1 in 1,365 odds if you had the Shiny Charm. Sure, you could soft reset or sit at benches over and over again, but that wouldn’t actually increase your odds. Fortunately for Shiny hunters, Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s Mega Dimension DLC makes Shiny hunting much, much easier. Many of the same techniques in the base game apply here, but more importantly, Pokemon spawn in bigger groups in Hyperspace Lumiose, which means there’s a bigger chance for one of them to be Shiny. Furthermore, you can also make donuts that give you Sparkling Power. With Sparkling Power 3 and the Shiny Charm active, your odds increase to roughly 1 in 585.
