Feeling anxious about the endless grind to snag the Shiny Charm in Pokémon Legends Z-A? Join the club—welcome to the procrastinator’s paradise.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: if “normal means” are the route chosen for this endeavor, then prepare for a part-time job that pays out in virtual sparkles—two words: six months. Yes, six long, exhausting months of catching creatures and wondering where life went wrong.

But fear not, because the shiny beacon of hope is here: a nifty little method that turns this grind into a sprint. Buckle up for a wild ride as the secret to achieving your Shiny Charm much faster is about to unfold.

Working for Mable: A Wild Research Journey!

First things first: that Shiny Charm is the holy grail of Pokémon rewards, and it just loves to hide behind Mable’s research tasks. The charmer will only come to those who reach the coveted Level 50. Achieving Level 49? Child’s play! Just pop open the Pokédex and catch a bunch of Pokémon, since they seem to be everywhere. But reaching Level 50? That’s where things get as grueling as spotting a shiny in the wild—virtually impossible without the right approach.

Just to clarify, achieving that final leap from 49 to 50 might be akin to training for a marathon in quicksand. It could eat up 20 hours or more unless there’s a shortcut tucked away somewhere!

So Many Battles, So Little Time!

Polishing up a shiny completionist badge? Fantastic! The last mission demands winning 1,000 battles in any format. Yes, you read that right: 1,000. Wins in the Z-A Royale and contests against trainers count. But here’s the kicker—wild encounters will leave trainers with a resounding “Nope!” on their scorecards. Off to the battlegrounds it is!

During this valiant quest, the accidental grind yielded about 525 wins before even considering hitting the panic button. Yikes! One could say that putting together that many wins naturally feels akin to dragging a boulder uphill while juggling at the same time. Thankfully, the speedy rescue mission is on the horizon!

Accelerated Victory: The Lucario Speedway Method

Introducing the Lucario Extreme Speed method—a shiny beacon that promises to shave hours off this endeavor! First step: assemble a level 100 Lucario with Extreme Speed because, let’s face it, nothing screams “Let’s get this done!” like a battleship of a Pokémon. If it happens to be an Alpha Lucario, well, bonus points galore—might as well roll out the red carpet. Toss in moves like Ice Punch and Thunder Punch into the mix for a little flair.

The strategy here involves turning Lucario into a one-Pokémon demolition derby, knocking out challengers left and right like it’s a schoolyard game of dodgeball (but less tragic). The goal? Go from trainer to trainer, completely ignoring the typical distractions: challenges and shiny coins can wait.

Employing this ridiculous efficiency means you can obliterate upwards of 40 trainers per tour of the Z-A Royale. Meanwhile, the more casual players will pat themselves on the back for managing just around 20. Time to show them what speed looks like!

Once the trainers in your current area are all used up, no need to sulk in dissatisfaction. Just hop on a flight to the next Battle Zone, and voilà! Freshly respawned trainers are ready to meet their maker—again. Starting to sound like a game of Pokémon Whack-a-Mole, right?

For added bonus points of genius, remember one can use a bench to fast-forward to the night, ensuring the Z-A Royale is ripe for the picking once more. All of a sudden, those hours previously predicted now shrink down beautifully to a mere 1-2 hours of sweet, shiny farming. A miracle! 🌟

Enjoy those dazzlingly ‘boosted’ shiny odds in the easiest shiny hunting escapade ever—because who wouldn’t want their Pokémon to shine even brighter than the average twitch streamer?
