How the hunt works

Cast from a tile where your target appears, reel in every bite, and flee non-shinies. Fishing is one of the most input-light hunts, which makes it comfortable for very long sessions.

The base rate in Pokémon White 2 is 1 in 8,192. The Shiny Charm is available in this game and adds two extra shiny rolls.

Tips

  • Some spots have different tables from land versus while surfing.
