Shiny Charm

The Shiny Charm goal set is designed to be played on a completed save file with full Pokedex progress and post-game content unlocked. While you’re free to play however you like, the goals in this set were built with the following setup in mind.

For the best experience with this goal set, your save file should ideally have:

  • Completed the story and post-game of Pokemon Legends: Arceus
  • Obtained the Shiny Charm by bringing the entire Pokedex to research level 10
  • Completed Requests 95, 96, 97, 98, 100, and 101 to unlock Massive Mass Outbreaks on each map
  • Completed Request 66, “The Sea’s Legend”, to allow Phione to respawn in the Coastlands
  • Unlocked the Balloon minigames on each map (Jubilife, Fieldlands, Coastlands, Icelands, and optionally the Highlands)

The following rules are recommended for this goal set:

  • The pastures and item box should not be used to complete goals. If you are tasked with collecting an item or a Pokemon, you should do so after the start of the race.
  • Any Pokemon used in a goal should be caught during the race, with the exception of your starting Pokemon, which can only complete battle-related goals.
  • Closing and reopening your game to accelerate a goal is not recommended (e.g. resetting to collect the same Satchel multiple times).

To get ready for a race, the following preparation is recommended:

  • Clear your inventory — Deposit as many items as you can into your item box apart from your usual loadout: Balls, Smoke Bombs, Sticky Globs, Potions, Charms, etc. Avoid carrying crafting items, Exp Candies, or Evolution items, as certain goals may require you to find them in the wild.
  • Free up pasture space — Make sure you have some empty Pastures for freshly caught Pokemon. Having to sort through your collection to release Pokemon mid-race is time loss, and it’s easier to identify Pokemon you just caught that way.
  • Pick a starter — Select one Pokemon to keep on your team and empty the other 5 slots. A strong, high-level Pokemon is recommended, as it can be used to complete battle-related goals.
  • Start the race — Once everyone is ready, have every player teleport to the Jubilife Village Front Gate using the minimap, then count down and reveal the board. Good luck!
