How the hunt works

Save directly in front of the Pokémon, start the battle, check the sprite, and reset if it isn't shiny. Every reset is one fresh roll, so the whole hunt is about shortening the reset loop.

The base rate in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire is 1 in 4,096. The Shiny Charm is available in this game and adds two extra shiny rolls.

Tips

  • •Skip cutscenes and text as fast as the game allows.
  • •Turn battle animations off where the option exists.
