Pokémon Legends: Arceus<\/a> has finally been released and, so far, we have enjoyed our quest through a brand-new region filled with spectacular Pokémons. But, we have wondered if you could start your adventure with a shiny starter, similarly to previous games.<\/p>\n

Indeed, it sounds a tad ambitious even to expect something like this; however, ever since shiny Pokémon were introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver gamers, Trainers have been ecstatic to score these alternate versions of the classics.<\/p>\n

The broader community even found a way to get them right from the start when they were choosing their starter but, is it possible to replicate this in Pokémon Legends: Arceus? Let’s find out.<\/p>\n

Can you get shiny starters at the beginning of Pokémon Legends: Arceus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In previous Pokémon games, there was a “hack” where players would hard reset their game right after choosing a starter, in case it was not shiny. Then, they would try again until they got it right.<\/p>\n

Of course, this was a tedious task since the chances of getting a shiny at the beginning were still slim but the process proved effective and worth the effort.<\/p>\n

For Pokémon Legends: Arceus, this method has been jammed as the shiny starters have been locked.<\/p>\n

Although you can still try to abuse this hack, once you receive your chosen Pokémon, it will revert into its regular form, sort of like a faux shiny.<\/p>\n

Indeed, this is a bummer for the vast majority of the  Pokémon community but, there may be another way to get a shiny Cyndaquil, a shiny Oshawott or a shiny Rowlet, albeit just not at the start of the game.<\/p>\n

Are there shiny starters in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While you cannot get a shiny starter Pokémon from the get-go, you will be able to test your luck and try to catch them in the wild.<\/p>\n

Additionally, you will be able to get a Shiny Charm throughout your adventure, which should help you find shiny Pokémon<\/a> a lot more easily.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t played Pokémon Legends: Arceus, you should definitely go to their official website<\/a> and score a copy of the game. The game is, after all, the latest craze, and you certainly don’t want to be “that person” left behind.<\/p>\n
