Super rare! Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Violet (and Scarlet) have a base chance of appearing as 1 in 4,096! But don't worry, there are ways to increase those odds, like the Masuda Method or obtaining the Shiny Charm. It's all about patience and maybe a little bit of luck!

Shiny hunting? Good luck, you'll need it. Shinies are crazy rare in Pokémon Violet, about 1 in 4,096 encounters. But hey, that's what makes finally catching one so special!

They're not THAT rare. I found two shinies in one week without even trying. Just play a lot and you'll bump into them.

Honestly, shinies are way too rare in Pokémon Violet. Makes it almost not worth the hassle unless you're super dedicated.
