Shiny hunting? Look for the glitter! Shiny Pokemon have a special animation when they appear - it's like they're literally shining with sparkles. If it glitters, it's gold (or, well, shiny)!

Honestly, it's mostly luck to spot a shiny in Pokemon Violet. Just play a lot, and you'll eventually stumble upon one. No special tricks, just perseverance and a bit of shiny luck!

Spotting a shiny in Pokemon Violet is all about that sparkle! When you encounter a wild Pokemon, shiny ones have a distinct shiny animation and sound effect at the start of the encounter. They also have a different color than their regular counterparts. So, if you see a Pokemon that looks slightly off-color and starts the battle with sparkles, congrats, you've found yourself a shiny!

Ugh, shiny hunting is overrated. Just enjoy the game without obsessing over color variations.
