Embarking on a new shiny adventure in Scarlet and Violet, where baby Pokemon shine at enhanced rates, players are diving into the world of shiny hunting with these diminutive creatures at the center stage.
While some baby Pokemon are absent in Scarlet and Violet, the ones available pose intriguing challenges for shiny hunters, dispelling the notion of an easy hunt solely based on their name.
13 Toxel
Location: South Province Area One, Two, Four
- National Pokedex Entry: #848
Toxel, transitioning from purple to a vibrant magenta, emerges as one of the more conspicuous shiny baby Pokemon. Its electric and poison type further aid in singling out this distinctive lizard, easing the hunt for this baby Pokemon.
Being a recent addition, Toxel requires players to catch two for a complete shiny collection, offering a manageable challenge for those seeking both Toxtricity and a shiny Toxel.
12 Riolu
Location: South Province Area Two, Four, North Province Area One
- National Pokedex Entry: #447
Riolu, with its striking bright yellow tone against green backdrops, stands out as one of the easiest shinies to spot in the game. This pure fighting type can be a challenge to hunt outside of outbreaks due to the prevalence of Pawmi and its evolutions.
The real test in hunting shiny Riolu lies in ensuring another shiny Pokemon doesn't steal the spotlight first, amidst the common presence of its counterparts throughout Scarlet and Violet.
11 Tyrogue
Location: Canyon Biome
- National Pokedex Entry: #236
Tyrogue undergoes a remarkable transformation from dull brown to a vibrant blue hue in the Indigo Disk's Terrarium, making it an easy target for shiny hunters. This baby Pokemon, confined to the Indigo Disk DLC, offers a relatively straightforward hunt amidst the rock and ground types abundant in its habitat.
With its distinct color change and habitat specificity, Tyrogue presents an accessible shiny hunt for players exploring the canyon biome.
