Are Legendaries Shiny Locked In The Pok Mon Scarlet Violet Dlc

Can you capture shiny Legendaries in The Indigo Disk? - Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

The short answer is no. All “static” encounters (or those that do not spawn in the wild) in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet are shiny-locked. This includes all returning Legendaries like Articuno, Entei, and Groudon, as well as one-time encounters like Terapagos. All other Pokémon in the Blueberry Pokédex, specifically those you can catch in the wild, are not shiny locked. The only way you’re going to be able to get shiny returning Legendaries is if you port them from Pokémon HOME. This static encounter mechanic seems to be something written in Scarlet & Violet’s code, so it really doesn’t look like GameFreak is going to budge on it. Again, it’s really a shame when Sword & Shield Dynamax Adventures didn’t have such an annoying restriction. At least the selection of Legendaries and Mythicals you can get in The Indigo Disk is extensive… For more Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: The Indigo Disk content, check out How to evolve Duraludon into Archaludon in The Indigo Disk Pokemon Scarlet & Violet here at Pro Game Guides!
