Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's Teal Mask DLC introduces a handful of new Shiny forms, but not all of them can be hunted.
Out of the eight new Pokemon , only three of them are currently available to be Shiny hunted. That’s because the majority of the new Pokemon appear via static enoucnters.
Static encounters are Pokemon that appear at a certain time or during a certain instance and cannot be found in the wild.are all encountered as a part of the storyline. Therefore, they are referred to as Static.Shiny Locked means the developers have made it so the Pokemon cannot be Shiny. This can be applied to specific instances of a Pokemon appearing in the world that can be Shiny hunted. Still, it often refers to new Mythic or Legendary Pokemon that are introduced via story progression.
An example of Shiny Locked Pokemon that can be hunted elsewhere is the Squawkabilly that spawns on top of the player’s house at the beginning of Scarlet & Violet. This small flock used to be Shiny Huntable, but a patch made it so the birds could no longer be Shiny. Yet, you can still hunt Squawkabilly in the wild, where they spawn naturally.
However, GameFreak has made it so most of the recent Legendaries and Mythicals can’t be hunted. Regidrago and Regieleci are exceptions. But the vast majority of new rare Pokemon are locked, with their Shiny variants distributed to players later as a part of promotional events.Zackerie Fairfax is the Associate Editor for Gamepur.
