Pokémon: 10 easiest shiny hunting methods

Shiny hunting is a tedious process, but over the years, Pokémon games included methods to make it quicker, and we've collected the best.

Shiny hunting in Pokémon games is an arduous task. With odds as low as 1 in 8192, sitting there endlessly resetting your game is very time consuming, and even if the rewards are worth it, it can be a pain to do. Even the best shiny hunting methods require a lot of setup and careful planning to work, but that’s what makes shiny Pokémon so valuable.

That said, there’s no reason why you can’t seek out a few easy wins, and thankfully, there are a bunch across the games. Most of them still require a bit of legwork, but it’s more interesting than repetitively resetting your game. That said, there are a few you catch and transfer up with Pokémon HOME, you just need to know where to look.
