How the hunt works

Track it with the Pokédex or Marking Map, chase it route to route, and flee to reroll the encounter. Slow, because most of the time is travel rather than encounters.

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

Tips
