Pokemon Legends Z-A Might Patch This Shiny Hunting Trick

"YouTuber Austin John Plays demonstrates the elaborate but effective strategy, which requires you to mess around with and essentially break the Alpha Pokemon in Wild Zone 20's spawn area so you can trick the game into bringing out more monsters in the area than it's supposed to. The full method requires you to aggro the Alphas in Wild Zone 20 until they're near the edge of the fenced-off area."

"The whole thing is pretty complicated and requires some precise positioning and saving, but it seems to work. If you do this successfully enough times without dying, you can get several Alphas spawning in the zone, and because shiny Pokémon won't despawn, you can enter, exit, or reset the area by resting on a bench until all six spawned Alphas are shiny."

Shiny Pokémon do not despawn in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, enabling new farming strategies. Players can exploit Alpha spawn mechanics in Wild Zone 20 to force multiple Alpha spawns. The technique involves aggroing Alphas near the edge of a fenced area, leaving the zone to reset spawn positions to center, and repeating without dying to accumulate up to six Alphas. Because shinies persist, players can rest at a bench to reset until all spawned Alphas are shiny. The approach requires precise positioning, saving, and execution, and may be subject to future patching by Game Freak.
