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.

Pokémon Yellow has no shiny Pokémon at all, so this method is listed for encounter data only.

Tips

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