Want to fill your Pokémon Scarlet and Violet living dex with Shiny Koraidon and Shiny Miraidon? Here’s how to get them! These are the two special Pokémon you encounter early in your journey. Wondering if it’s worth resetting to get them shiny?
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the start of the ninth generation of Pokémon, and they introduce two legendary creatures right at the beginning of your adventure. But after spending years restarting the game to get a special shiny starter Pokémon, is it worth doing the same for these two legendary Pokémon?
What are Shiny Pokemon?
Shiny Pokemon are rare variants of regular Pokemon that have a different color scheme. In “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet,” shiny Pokemon are difficult to spot. However, that may not be the case when trainers are riding around on Koraidon/Miraidon.
How to Get Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon?
Right when you begin the game, you can’t get Shiny versions of the three starter Pokemon unless you breed them first. In the beginning, these Pokemon are “shiny locked,” so restarting the game won’t make them look different.
Unfortunately, the rule also goes for Koraidon and Miraidon. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can’t find Shiny versions of these Pokemon because they’re shiny-locked.
In the older games, you could sometimes find special shiny versions of certain legendary Pokemon. However, in the current Scarlet and Violet games, that’s not possible for these two legendary Pokemon.
Will Shiny Koraidon and Miraidon Be Available in the DLC?
With the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet DLC on the horizon, some folks think the Area Zero-themed DLC might finally let you snag a shiny Koraidon or Miraidon.
Pokémon Sword and Shield wrapped up their DLCs with a cool raid feature. It made catching shiny legendary Pokémon easier. We might get something like that here, or they could give the Pokémon as a Mystery Gift later on.
