  • How to Isolate Shiny Hunt Chikorita and Bulbasaur in Pokémon Legends: ZA

    If you’re looking to add a shiny Chikorita or Bulbasaur to your collection in Pokémon Legends: ZA, this guide will walk you through the process of isolating these elusive shiny starters. We’ll be discussing a method that utilizes the spawner exploit and a bit of patience, but with a little strategy, you’ll be on your way to adding these beautiful Pokémon to your team.

    Getting Set Up for the Hunt

    To begin this hunt, head to Wild Zone 20, specifically to the middle bench. This spot is crucial because it’s positioned between two grass spawners. On one side, you’ll find a Roserade, while the other side spawns Chikorita and Bulbasaur. The spawn pool is limited to four Pokémon: Roserade, Chikorita, Bulbasaur, and Gardevoir. To make this method work, you’ll want to focus on the left-side spawner, where Chikorita and Bulbasaur appear.

    Overloading the Spawner Exploit

    The goal of this hunt is to overload the spawn pool and isolate the Pokémon you want—Chikorita or Bulbasaur. You can use a Pokémon with Taunt to make things easier by preventing Roserade from using status moves that could disrupt the process. In this guide, we’ll be using a Yettoal with Taunt. This isn’t necessary, but it will certainly speed up the process.

    • Step 1: Position yourself between the two spawners, with Roserade on the left and Chikorita/Bulbasaur on the right.

    • Step 2: Get the attention of the Roserade by using Taunt or other means. Roserade should run toward you, but once it does, it will deaggro. This is the moment to save your game, shut it down, and reload.

    • Step 3: After reloading, you’ll notice that the Roserade will have been moved to a new spawn point, making room for new Pokémon to appear.

    Repeat this process a couple of times to move Roserade far enough from its original position, ensuring that new spawns can come in. The goal here is to create an environment where the game can spawn multiple Pokémon at once, including Chikorita and Bulbasaur.

    The 65-Meter Distance

    Once you’ve moved Roserade far enough, run about 65 meters away from it. The easiest way to do this is by exiting Wild Zone 20. After running the required distance, save your game again and reload. This will force the game to reset the spawns, ensuring that the Pokémon you want have the chance to appear.

    At this stage, the game will either spawn Chikorita or Bulbasaur on the left spawner, along with another Pokémon. If Gardevoir spawns, restart the process. Gardevoir is not useful for the shiny hunt because it will run away. You’ll need to keep reloading and resetting until the spawn is correct.

    Overloading the Second Spawner

    After you’ve successfully moved Roserade and gotten Chikorita or Bulbasaur to spawn, you’ll need to repeat the process for the other spawner. The idea here is to have multiple Pokémon on the screen at once, increasing your chances of encountering a shiny.

    • Step 1: Move the Pokémon back to their original spawn point. Make sure the right spawner has the Pokémon you need.

    • Step 2: Use Taunt once again to stop any unwanted moves and force the Pokémon to remain in the area.

    • Step 3: Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll notice two spawns in the area. At this point, you can begin the actual despawn-respawn cycle.

    The trick is to keep resetting the Pokémon by leaving the area, then returning. This guarantees that new spawns—like shiny or alpha Pokémon—can appear in the same spot. The more often you reset, the higher the chances of encountering a shiny.

    Patience and Persistence

    Shiny hunting is all about patience, and this method isn’t any different. Once you’ve got the process down, it’s a matter of sitting at the bench and letting the Pokémon respawn. This technique is great because it’s consistent.

    Another tip: if you’re hunting for both Chikorita and Bulbasaur at once, you can leave one in place while you hunt for the other. This allows you to focus on each Pokémon individually, reducing the time spent hunting for both.

    Encountering a Shiny

    Once you’ve managed to get a shiny spawn, it will remain in the area, even through day-night transitions. The key here is to save the game when you encounter your shiny, and make sure it doesn’t despawn by reloading the game or leaving the area.

    Keep in mind that this technique can also yield shiny alphas, so keep your eyes peeled!

    This method of isolating shiny Chikorita and Bulbasaur in Pokémon Legends: ZA may seem a bit complicated at first, but with practice, it becomes second nature. By leveraging the spawner exploit and using a bit of patience, you can guarantee your shiny hunt will be a success. Just make sure to follow the steps closely, and you’ll soon be adding some shiny stars to your Pokémon roster.
