Like most of the mainline Pokemon games, Pokemon Legends: Arceus has shiny Pokemon. These Pokemon are a different color than other Pokemon of the same species, and are highly coveted by Pokemon fans for their rarity. To see multiple at the same time is an extreme rarity, but this Pokemon Legends: Arceus player got extremely lucky when they went for an exploration of the Obsidian Fieldlands.
Shiny Pokemon were first introduced in Pokemon Gold and Silver, and they were noted for their rarity. To be more specific, there's a base 1 in 4096 chance to get a shiny Pokemon to appear in the wild since Pokemon X and Y. Previous to Pokemon X and Y, it was a 1 in 8192 chance for wild Pokemon to be shiny. There are various methods throughout the series to increase players' chances of finding shiny Pokemon, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus is no exception. There is also a guaranteed shiny Pokemon available for capture in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
Reddit user Radiant-Pin-89 had spotted a shiny Shinx and was preparing to sneak up on it, but it became aggressive. After feeding it some food, another Pokemon nearby was preparing an attack, so they moved out of the way. When they turned around to see what Pokemon it was, it was another shiny Shinx. After throwing a Poke Ball at the first Shinx and catching it, they turned their attention to the second. Weakening it with a Sticky Glob, they were able to catch the second shiny Shinx as well.
The most incredible part about this clip is that Radiant-Pin-89 found these two shiny Shinx outside of an Outbreak and without the Shiny Charm. Both of those things increase players' chances of finding a shiny Pokemon, and Radiant-Pin-89 also said that they also did not have Shinx's Pokedex entry 100% completed either. Having a complete Pokedex in Pokemon Legends: Arceus also increases players' odds of finding a shiny Pokemon.
In a certified unicorn moment, Radiant-Pin-89 had the lowest possible odds of finding a single shiny Pokemon, let alone two of them. While Pokemon Legends: Arceus does have one of the highest rates for finding shiny Pokemon if all the shiny multipliers are put together, the fact that a player managed to find two of them at the same time without the multipliers is unfathomable.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus continues to keep players occupied with exploration and shiny hunting. There are still plenty of things that players are discovering through their time with Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and it looks like that will continue for quite some time.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
