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.
Pre-requirements
Section titled “Pre-requirements”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!
