Question

What are all the shiny-locked Pokemon in Legends Z-A?

Answer 1

All shiny-locked Pokémon in Legends Z-A are listed below:

Static Encounters:
All static encounters, such as Legendaries/Mythicals (all of which are Static in PLZA) and Your Starter/First Partner Pokemon are Shiny Locked. However, Starters found in the wild, postgame, are not Shiny Locked.

In-Game Trade Pokémon:
All in-game trades are Shiny Locked, meaning regional variations (among other things) that can only be obtained via in-game trades can’t be Shiny.

Pokémon Obtained Via Mystery Gifts:
All Pokémon obtained through Mystery Gifts, such as the Ralts obtainable from having pre-ordered the game and the to-come legendaries from quests, are Shiny Locked.

Hi there,

Very specific one but what about the gengars that you encounter in mission 20: ‘A request from the Rust Syndicate’ when you enter the building.

I believe they are static encounters, since they are guaranteed to be there, but when I leave and re-enter the building their gender does fluctuate, their levels don’t.

Could one of these be shiny?
I wish to know because I cannot trade online for a shiny gengar and these are the only two you are able to obtain in the game.
