Shiny Charm Guide – Pokemon Legends: Z-A
To get it quickly, you need to battle at restaurants in Lumiose City. Certain restaurants, such as Restaurant Le Nah and Restaurant Le Wow, allow you to battle repeatedly for a small fee. Among them, Restaurant Le Nah, which is located at the southeastern edge of Lumiose City, is the best spot.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Bring a high-level Pokemon that can defeat most opponents in a single hit.
- Keep doing battles one after another to complete fights quickly.
- It may still take a few hours, but this is the fastest way to reach the battle requirement.
A great choice for this task is Lucario with the move named Extreme Speed. The animation is very short, which helps reduce the overall time spent in each battle. You can find a Riolu on Lumiose City rooftops and evolve to Lucario or catch an Alpha Lucario in Wild Zone 20.
If you get bored with restaurant battles, you can also visit the Battle Zones at night. These areas allow you to fight trainers, even after finishing the main story.
To unlock the Shiny Charm, you must complete 1,000 battles to finish Mable’s Research. It is a huge grind, but you only need to do it once. Once you finally complete this challenge, you will receive the Shiny Charm, making shiny hunting much faster and easier.
