How To Duplicate Shiny Wild Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A?

These are the steps you need to do to duplicate wild Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A (courtesy of Austin John Plays):

• Once you encounter a Shiny Pokemon, drop a pointer on the map where it spawned and aggro it (summon your own Pokemon and hit it once without knocking it out).
• Once the Pokemon is aggro’d, keep moving away from the spawn pointer slowly while ensuring the Shiny Pokemon is following you. Knock out if any other wild Pokemon is aggro’d towards you.
• The moment the Shiny Pokemon is de-aggro’d and trying to return to its spawn point, save the game and close Pokemon Legends Z-A.
• Relaunch Pokemon Legends Z-A, you will find the Shiny Pokemon at the point where you saved the game. Aggro it and repeat the process till you have dragged the Shiny Pokemon at least 75-80m away from the original spawn pointer.
• Save, reloard, and catch the Shiny Pokemon at that point.
• Go back to the original spawn pointer to find the duplicated Shiny Pokemon.

The duplicate Shiny Pokemon will be a clone of the first one with all the same details. A regular Pokemon does not spawn with this glitch. Since it is a clear clone, it is best not to keep both, with Austin John Plays suggesting to trade it away or release it.
