Can the static Galarian Stunfisk be Brilliant Pokémon?

Question

I’m thinking of going and shiny hunting it using the brilliant method and I’m wondering if it’s possible to do so.

Comments

The Galarian Stunfisk in Galar Mine No. 2 and the Slumbering Weald aren't static encounters, they're actually wanderers, or roamers.

You can also find them in the Dusty Bowl and Lake of Outrage during a sandstorm, which will definitely have a chance of being brilliant.

Cheers @McRib. That’s gonna help

What's the brilliant method?

---

It’s a method of shiny hunting in Sword and Shield. You K.O a lot of a specific Pokémon, for me that’s Stunfisk. This increases the odds of a brilliant Pokémon appearing and the chance of that brilliant being shiny.

Brilliant pokémon = shiny pokémon?

---

Nah, brilliant Pokémon are Pokémon with that yellow aura around them. If you KO a lot of a specific Pokémon, any brilliant of that Pokémon has increased shiny odds

Oh. Cool.

Answer 1

Brilliant Pokemon are encountered via fishing or symbol encounters. In Galar Mine No. 2, Stunfisk-Galar is considered a wanderer, which can never be Brilliant Pokemon. Your best bet to shiny hunt Stunfisk-Galar is to hatch Eggs via the Masuda Method.
