Just wondering how long it took everyone to shiny hunt the legendaries in the hyperspace?
I got all 5 of mine in the same or next day when in started the hunt including getting the donuts for the sparkling power and getting the hyperspace zone for the legendary
Special thanks to all the creators for all the vids l watch on youtube
I have never actually shiny hunted before and when l saw that the legendaries were hunt-able in za, l gave it a go and now have huge respect for shiny hunters. To those who are starting to hunt or are hunting hopefully you get it and it doesn’t take too long.

Just picking up the game again after a few months to do some shiny hunting. I’m looking for advice on the best shiny hunting spots in the game. I know of the Wild Zone 3 one, but that’s really it. Any advice and ideas are appreciated!

For context my shiny luck is non existent and I caught this without a boost

And an update on the arctibax which evolved

I used this outfit on my last save and can't seem to remake it, I have both pieces unlocked and when I use the minus to mix and match them it won't let me. I've saved my game and restarted it and it still won't let me.

Need help picking Pokemon for a run
I’m doing a challenge run where I use a different Pokemon for each of deltarune’s flowers I have the green blue and orange picked out but need help with ideas for the other mons I could use
The only things that should mach is no postgame
No trade evos unless the can be caught fully evolved (as I’m on my alt which doesn’t have online)
And the Pokemon should be the right color roughly
Also no repeats (mainly flabebe as that line is for blue)
Sorry if this breaks the on topic rule rule I just really need help picking some mons)

Absolutely buzzing after my first I’m gunna sit here till I get a shiny hunt! Is the nature any good?
r/PokemonZA • u/bmo-0210 • 1d ago
The rest of the team is staring at me like im about to snap, there is no reason for a donut eating pokemon to fill me with enough anger to evolve into an annihilape

So, the idea of funny shorts on this subreddit belongs to u/Ender_Master517
He allowed me to do my own, but go check his content, it's probably better than mine, but still, I hope you'll like this short I did, even if it's my first, so it's probably not that good.

I was hunting this Pokémon for 1h and with Chroma Charm it made me have 5 Embrylex in the same rift ! I just am very lucky I guess… I never lived something like that before and I’m very happy about it ! 🤗

Last week I got the switch 2 and got back into ZA. I was wondering why I dont have DLC stuff. Thats because I need the upgrade pack right?
Edit: I had the game on switch 1 and the DLC
Update: Just bought it

Hey everyone! :) I've been experimenting with something in Legends: Z-A on Switch 2 and I'd love to know if anyone else has seen it, or if it's already documented somewhere.
What I noticed: when a recoil move (I tested Volt Tackle on Pikachu) defeats the last Pokémon of an NPC trainer, my Pokémon takes no recoil damage at all.
How I figured it out:
I first thought it was a Mega thing, but I got the same result with a non-Mega Pikachu against a Meowstic.
Then I wondered if hitting first, or some frame window at the start of the fight, was the trigger. Turns out neither matters: it happens even when the opponent hits me first.
The only thing that stays consistent is that the recoil move finishes off the NPC's final Pokémon.
[Add your controls here, e.g. "When the KO was on a non-final Pokémon, I did take recoil" and "When the hit didn't KO, I took recoil too". Only include what you actually tested.]
What I haven't been able to check: I haven't seen it happen against wild Pokémon. So far I've tested it [N] times.
About documentation: I looked through Bulbapedia, Serebii, GameFAQs and a few other forums and wikis, and couldn't find anything about this for Z-A. The closest thing I found is on Bulbapedia's Recoil page: in Pokémon Stadium only, recoil doesn't apply if the move KOs the opponent. I can't say whether it's the same mechanic, though!
My guess (and it's only a guess) is that the battle ends before the recoil gets applied. I've attached a short clip so you can see it for yourselves.
Has anyone else run into this? And if you've got results that say otherwise, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for reading! ^_^

I’m new to hunting so maybe this isn’t that crazy. I’m just in disbelief that I’ve phased this many times after only 1000(?) encounters. I feel so lucky and so unlucky at the same time 😭.
On my last hunt for shiny gible (wanted a ground type for my team) I got a shiny drillbur after like 5 bench resets and just went with it. Ended up falling in love with my excadrill. What are your guys’ experiences with phasing?

Legends ZA playtrough and I want a decent team but without powerhouses but I can't decide on my last member. The plan was using a pokemon from each generation that don't have mega evolutions (besides beedrill). But in the game all gen3 pokemon have a mega
I still want to use a gen3 pokemon for the last spot!
Rules
1- no metagross, no gardevoir and no salamence
2- no duplicate type with the rest of the team

Aren't these usually signs and not people (unmodded game to clarify)

I was in a mega dimension when I was hunting Gruikui and I just heard two sounds of shiny Pokémon ! I didnt see one but two Pokémon next to each other and its the evolution of Gruikui, Grotichon ! I was so stressed 😫 so I saved the game and then I catches them both. Now I’m so happy ! Which one should i keep without evolving it ? (My first Shalpha tho)

This is my current team right now so who should I swap out to make it better? I have a few high level mons like scovillan sharpedo and scizor
Btw I am gonna level up the two first guys I just got them so I haven’t had time yet
r/PokemonZA • u/FireTails11 • 3d ago
I haven’t really shiny hunted the legendary pokemon before, but I wanted to know what is the most popular way to hunt for shiny fossil pokemon?
Reviving the old amber is full odds but seems like a quicker process if you have the money. Special scans seem more of a grind since it is more rng based but if you’re lucky the charm makes it much easier.
Would love to hear from anyone’s experience of this thanks.
