Top 10 Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A
The 10 best-looking Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends Z-A are:
- Gyarados
- Trevenant
- Gengar (Mega)
- Gardevoir (Mega)
- Clauncher
- Greninja
- Aurorus
- Charizard
- Emboar
- Aegislash
Here is how you can find each of these Shiny Pokemon.
Gyarados
Gyarados’s shiny form gives it a crimson makeover, making its outside resemble its raging inside. Gyarados has one of the best shiny colorations of all time. To add to this, its pre-evolution, Magikarp, also has one of the best shiny variants, becoming a brilliant golden. Regardless of which stage in the evolution you choose, Gyarados’s shiny is one of the best.
You can find a Gyarados in Wild Zone 11 or 20. Meanwhile, Magikarp is located in Wild Zones 2 and 6.
Trevenant
Trevenant’s shiny form bleaches its bark and reddens its foliage. This combination of red and white gives it quite the resemblance to a Birch tree, and the resemblance works well. Trevenant’s shiny is definitely one of the best in Legends Z-A.
Trevenant can be found in Wild Zone 15. Moreover, you can find Phantump in Wild Zone 13.
Gengar (Mega)
The ghostly Gengar has a Shiny form that is not too different from its regular form. In that sense, it looks a little bland. However, the real transformation comes when it Mega Evolves. After Mega Evolution, Gengar becomes an unearthly white. This new color fits Gengar perfectly, making it one of the best Shiny Pokemon.
Gengar can be found as an Alpha in Wild Zone 20. Apart from this, it will only spawn during Main Mission 20. If you do not get a Gengar through these methods, you can obtain a Shiny Gengar through trading back and forth. Its pre-evolution, Haunter, can be found in Wild Zone 15, while Gastly can be found in Wild Zone 4.
Gardevoir (Mega)
Gardevoir’s shiny form changes the green parts of its body to blue. While this isn’t anything too impressive on its own, its Mega Evolution takes things further. Mega Gardevoir’s entire aesthetic is different between its normal and Shiny variants, and it is one of the best shinies to look for.
Gardevoir’s first form, Ralts, can be found in the courtyard of Vert Sector 4. You can also find Ralts in Wild Zone 20.
Clauncher
In real life, around one in every two million lobsters are born blue due to a rare mutation. In the Pokemon world, it is the opposite, as Claunchers and Clawitzers are blue by default, and can very rarely be red. The red color palette works excellently on both Clauncher and its evolution, and is one of the best in Legends Z-A.
Clauncher can be found in Wild Zone 11.
Greninja
Greninja’s shiny form gives it an all-black makeover. This new color feels right at home on Greninja, adding to its role as a ninja. Greninja’s shiny is one of the best, and not just in Legends Z-A.
Froakie, which evolves into Greninja, can be found in Wild Zone 16.
Aurorus
Aurorus’s Shiny inverts its main colors of blue and white(ish), leaving its rainbow sails intact. Aurorus is one of the most beautiful Pokemon already, but its Shiny might just look even better.
Amaura can be revived from the Sail Fossil at the Pokemon Research Lab.
Charizard
Pokemon just can’t resist putting Charizard into their games, but it’s not without reason. After all, Charizard is one of the most popular Pokemon of all time. Additionally, its Shiny, which darkens its body, is one of the coolest and most sought-after shinies of them all.
Charmander can be found in Wild Zone 20.
Aegislash
Aegislash is really cool. Almost everyone can agree on this point. Shiny Pokemon are also really cool. So bring together Aegislash and shinies, and the result speaks for itself. The black-and-red appearance of Shiny Aegislash makes it look like a cursed weapon. Needless to say, the design looks extremely unique, even for a Shiny Pokemon.
Honedge can be found in Wild Zone 4.
Emboar
Emboar’s shiny form makes its flames burn an ethereal blue, and makes some other parts of its body blue as well. This simple change gives it significantly more presence and makes it much more appealing.
Tepig can be found in Wild Zone 20.
Those were the top 10 Shiny Pokemon you can catch in Legends Z-A, along with their locations.
