There is only one Shiny Charm in the game, and this is one you get as part of Mable’s Research Rewards. You get the Shiny Charm by reaching Level 50 of her research. This is the last and final level of Mable’s Research Rewards, so it is clear that this item is meant to be obtained near the end-game and not for beginners.

What Does Shiny Charm Do in Pokemon Legends Z-A?

This item boosts the spawning rate of shiny Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon are rarer variants of any Pokemon, distinguishable by a different color scheme. You will be able to spot these shiny Pokemon based on a shiny jingle that plays if they spawn near you.

Moreover, it has been noticed that shiny Pokemon don’t de-spawn even if you black out or move somewhat out of range. Therefore, if you hear the jingle, try to locate the nearby shiny Pokemon.

That was everything you need to know regarding the Shiny Charm and how to get it in Pokemon Legends Z-A.
