After a year of getting announced, Pokemon Legends Arceus has finally landed on the Nintendo Switch, and fans are having a great time in the game. With a range of new Pokemon, forms, mechanics, and a lot more, Pokemon Legends Arceus is one of the most ambitious Pokemon games we have ever seen.

Here’s Whether The Starters Are Shiny Locked in Pokemon Legends Arceus

For avid Pokemon players, catching a Shiny Pokemon would be one of their biggest dreams. One of the easiest ways to get a shiny Pokemon is by getting it at the start of the game as well. That is when you choose your starter, you hope that it is shiny. There is a workaround, where you keep restarting the game all over again until you get a shiny, and tons of players out there have gotten one via this method.

Now if you have done this trick in the past, you might as well be wondering if you can do this in Legends Arceus as well. Well, there is some bad news for you. The starters in the game are shiny locked. This means that irrespective of the number of times your restart the game, you will not be able to get a shiny starter.

Now, in the beginning, you have to follow the Professor’s request and catch all three starters. Do note that you may end up getting a shiny here, and we did find one in our playthrough as well. However, the moment you select your starter, it will reset back to the normal form, which is a bummer. When it comes to the odds, we have one in 4096 chance of catching one, so you will still have a hard time catching these shinies.
