Finally got my shiny Greninja after 3010 encounters!

Outbreak hunting in Scarlet/Violet - The fastest way to get shinies!

If you haven't tried outbreak hunting yet, you're missing out on the most efficient shiny hunting method in the current games.


**Why Outbreaks are Amazing:**

- Base odds in outbreaks: 1/2048

- With Shiny Charm: 1/1365

- After 60 KOs: Up to 1/512.44!

**The Method:**

1. Check your map for mass outbreaks

2. Travel to the outbreak location

3. Start defeating Pokemon (don't catch unless shiny)

4. After 60 KOs, odds are maximized

5. Keep hunting until the outbreak ends

**Sandwich Power:**

Combine with a Sparkling Power sandwich for even better odds! The Level 3 Sparkling Power adds extra shiny rolls.

**My Tips:**

- Save before starting the outbreak

- Use a strong Pokemon with spread moves

- Keep Let's Go mode active

- Don't fast travel (can reset outbreaks)

I've gotten 15 shinies this month using this method. What's your best outbreak find?

This reminds me of when I first started playing. Good times!

My journey started similarly. Pokemon really brings back memories.

This made my day. Thanks for posting!

I've been a Dark type specialist since Gen 5, and I can confirm this.

Any tips for someone who's new to competitive battling?

The nostalgia is hitting hard with this post.

I see where you're coming from, though I have a slightly different take on this.
