How the hunt works

Save before the trainer battle, then reset the fight until the Shadow Pokémon appears shiny. Trainer battles are long, so each roll costs a lot of time.

The base rate in Pokémon Colosseum is 1 in 8,192. There is no Shiny Charm in this game, so the base rate is the best you can get.
