What is the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends Z-A?

Shiny Charm is a rare end-game item that increases the spawn rate of Shiny Pokemon. These Pokemon are alternate-colored versions of regular species, and are therefore very pursued by trainers.

When a Shiny Pokemon spawns in your vicinity, you will be able to hear a distinct shiny sound, a clear indication that something special has spawned.

It is interesting to note that Shiny Pokemon in Legends Z-A don't seem to despawn even when you faint or leave their spawn zone. So you won't miss the shiny variant encounter.

There’s only one Shiny Charm available in the game, which is achieved as a reward through Mable’s Research. This function monitors your achievement and progress during the course of the game.

Here’s how you can get it:

1. Press X to open the main menu.
2. Press X again to access Mable’s Research.
3. Once you reach Research Level 50, the Shiny Charm will then be yours to claim.

• Capture multiple Pokemon of the same type. Bulk catching contributes extra progress towards your research level.
• Complete field tasks and special research objectives whenever possible.

By staying consistent and doing plenty of exploration, you will eventually hit the last tier and get your Shiny Charm.
