How to Boost Your Shiny Odds in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, players find unique ways to increase their chances of encountering Shiny Pokémon. One player, however, ended up finding everything but their target.
One popular method to up your Shiny chances involves making a special sandwich with Herba Mystica. This lets you target Pokémon of a specific type more easily. For instance, a player shared on Reddit how they made a sandwich to boost their odds of finding Shiny Dragon-type Pokémon, aiming to catch a Shiny Goomy.
Despite their efforts, within 30 minutes, the player didn’t find any Shiny Goomy. Instead, they caught Shiny Marill, Toxel, and Starly, none of which were Dragon types.
This player lucked out, despite not finding what they were after. The boost from the sandwich didn’t apply to the Shinies they caught, showing just how random and exciting the hunt can be. Even without the intended Goomy, snagging three other Shiny Pokémon felt like hitting the jackpot.
The Quest for Rare Shinies Continues
This unexpected turn of events made other players envious, sparking a conversation about wanting sandwich recipes that could boost Shiny odds across all Pokémon types. With new updates like The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero on the horizon, including new Paradox Pokémon, moves, and abilities, fans are hopeful for improved Shiny hunting methods.
Such twists and turns in Shiny hunting show the unpredictable nature of the game, keeping the community engaged and always on the lookout for the rarest finds.
Remember, exploring new strategies can sometimes lead to unexpected, yet rewarding outcomes. Happy hunting!
