Shiny Charm

For those who don’t know, the Shiny Charm effectively multiples the chances of shiny counters by three in Pokemon Legends Arceus. In the other series, players acquired the item by completing the Pokedex. Legends Arceus isn’t much different. But instead of just completing the Pokedex, players must reach research level 10 for every pokemon entry. So this consists of more than simply catching each pokemon once.

The main goal of Pokemon Legends Arceus is to catch them all. This completes the main story. Therefore, acquiring a Shiny Charm takes much longer than finishing the base game. For those looking to Shiny Hunt using the Shiny charm, expect a long grind before becoming incredibly efficient.

In Conclusion

Shiny Hunting in Pokemon Legends Arceus is the one of the most streamed it’s ever been. But acquiring the Shiny Charm itself definitely takes a hefty time investment. There are other ways to maximize shiny encounters, such as using Mass Outbreaks and completing the research missions for a specific pokemon. Acquiring the Shiny Charm definitely stands as one of the biggest time consuming post game activities.
