A very fortunate fan ofPokemon Scarlet and Violetwith a soft spot for Luvdisc receives a team full of shiny Luvdisc in a heartwarming display of generosity from other members of thePokemoncommunity. Although there are plenty of new abilities in the latestPokemon Scarlet and Violetgames which make it easier for players to find shiny Pokemon, the rare critters continue to be sought out by determined fans seeking a challenge.

As any veteranPokemonfans will know, shiny Pokemon can be identified primarily by a different color scheme to that seen in a Pokemon’s usual form. Their rarity comes as a result of their extraordinarily low chance of spawning naturally, with a shiny Pokemon having around a mere 1 in 4000 chance of spawning under regular conditions. Although recent entries to the world-renowned game series have included a few new features which players can take advantage of toslim the odds of encountering shiny Pokemon, many fans have been hunting them since as far back as the Generation 2 titles. Some hardcore shiny hunters in the community even push themselves to find shiny Pokemon exclusively at full-odds, refusing to use any items that expedite their encounters with the rare Pokemon.

Despite their rarity, several generousPokemonfans decided to collectively gift a whole team of shiny Luvdisc to a player with a noticeable affection for the cute fish Pokemon. Although the Luvdisc-loving player prefers to remain anonymous, their sibling known as Hippomaster1234 on Reddit made a post celebrating this act of kindness from the community. The post served as a follow-up to one that they made earlier, which shared the Luvdisc enthusiast’s accomplishment of beating the entiremain story ofPokemon Scarlet and Violetwith nothing but a team of Luvdisc, each with their own fantastic nicknames. The user also added a comment expressing their thanks for the users Skiadrum99, owlitup, Appropriate_Tip_3192, Extra-Succotash4831, and Herald_of_Perfection on Reddit, who were the players kind enough to gift the shiny Luvdisc.

Though shiny hunting is a common activity for manyPokemonfans, part of its appeal is how it allows players to set their own personal challenges for themselves and work toward completing them. For example, some extremePokemonenthusiasts go as far as tasking themselves with completing a “Shiny Dex,” which involves catching a shiny version of every single Pokemon in the Pokedex. Others simply aim to catchshiny versions of their favorite Pokemononly.

Shiny hunting has been something of a controversial topic amongPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers so far however, due to the game’s removal of shiny effects and sounds making it difficult for players to spot the rare creatures in the wild. ManyPokemonfans are in disagreement whether shiny hunting should be made easiereither, but whatever the case, it’s safe to say that shiny Pokemon always make for a great gift to trade with other players.
