You'll be hunting down multiple Pokémon every bit yous explore the Hisuian region in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Like to previous Pokémon games, many of these encounters take the chance for yous to find a shiny Pokémon. But a big question you might be wondering is if the legendary and mythical Pokémon will have their shiny versions. Is Arceus shiny locked in Pokémon Legends: Arceus?

Reportedly, it seems that the mythical Pokémon Arceus is shiny locked. A Pokémon that is shiny locked means that, no thing how many encounters or chances you have to catch it in the game, yous volition not run into a shiny version. For example, the Arceus encounter is a specific one that you can save right before having. If you were to save a particular boxing with a wild Pokémon right before you discover it, you might see the shiny version appear rather than the normal ane if it's not shiny locked.

Unfortunately, by numerous reports by players attempting to capture Arceus, the shiny version does not appear. At that place are typically a scattering of legendaries and mythical Pokémon that do non always receive a shiny version when a Pokémon game arrives. Because Pokémon Legends feels similar a massive breakaway from the original game'southward formula, it makes sense that not every shiny version would appear in the game.

We may need further confirmation and reports from players who have the game, but the consensus is that the mythical Pokémon is shiny locked.
