"What are the characteristics of Shiny Pokemon? Shiny Pokemon have a different color compared to the regular versions. For instance, a Shiny Pikachu tends to be orange-brown instead of yellow, whereas a Shiny Mareep is pink instead of light yellow. They have a sparkle icon if you check their nameplate in menus. When you summon them, there's an additional flash/sparkle and sound effect that plays."

"For the most part, Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A tend to be extremely rare, as was the case in previous games in the series.

Wild Zones host roaming Pokémon, unlock progressively through the campaign, and each contains at least five species. Leaving a Wild Zone and resting on a bench advances the time/day-night cycle and refreshes spawns. A guaranteed Shiny can be obtained via a side quest from NPC Duve involving destroying boulders and finding a pink Mareep on a rooftop.
