Acquiring Pokemon Shiny is an art form and the process is no different Pokemon Sword and Shield. Although all trainers start with a 4096 in XNUMX chance of encountering one, there are several techniques to increase the chances of them appearing in the game. There's the Masuda method of breeding The eggs, or you can chain The Pokémon in the wild, which battle the same species over and over again. There is another technique for chaining Pokémon trainers encountered while fishing.
You have to fish in the wild area.
The concept was first created during Generation 6 for catching Pokémon Shiny. Now you can do this in Pokemon Sword and Shield to locate shiny Pokemon. This technique requires continuously fishing The Pokémon in one place. You want to stay in a single area, so battle against The Pokemon of the ideal level range you want to encounter.
To chain fish correctly, you must defeat the Pokémon you engage with and successfully begin a battle. If you run away, lose, catch the pokemon, leave the area, or turn off the game you start over, because the streak ends. It shouldn't take you too many hooks though. You continue the chain if you have a Pokemon knocked out in battle or if you camp.
Here's the total number of times you need to hook a Pokemon to increase the odds.
- 0 to 2: A shiny Pokemon might appear
- 3 to 6: You are 1,3 times more likely to encounter a shiny Pokemon
- 7 a.m. to 14 p.m.: You are 3,3 times more likely to catch a shiny Pokemon
- 15 to 24: You are 6,6 times more likely to win a shiny Pokemon
- 25+: You are 16,6 times more likely to win a Brilliant Pokemon
After successfully completing 25 hooks and defeating Pokémon, you will maximize the increased chance of encountering them. It's much faster than the other methods and makes sense considering the limited number of Pokemon you encounter by bringing them in and fishing them.
You'll know you've captured a shiny Pokemon by the little golden aura that radiates from the splash of water before you fold it up and throw down your fishing rod.
