Spotting a shiny in Pokemon Scarlet isn't too different from previous games, but it sure is thrilling! Shiny Pokémon have a distinct color difference from their regular counterparts, so keep an eye out for unusual color variations of Pokémon you encounter. Additionally, when a shiny Pokémon appears, there's a sparkle effect and a sound cue that's hard to miss if you're paying attention. Happy hunting!

Easiest way to tell? Look for the sparkle! Every shiny Pokémon will have a sparkle effect when it enters battle. If you see that, congratulations, you've found yourself a shiny!

Honestly, just play a lot. Shinies are super rare, and there's no surefire way to find them other than encountering as many Pokémon as you can. The shiny sparkle and color difference are your only clues, so stay vigilant!

It's all about the sparkle. No sparkle, no shiny. Simple as that.
