Optimal Shiny Hunting Strategy

1. Preparation Phase

Before starting your shiny hunt, ensure you have enough capture cubes, status effect items, and healing items. Choose a location with good spawn rates for your target Eleon.

2. Building the Chain

Start encountering your target Eleon repeatedly. Avoid other Eleons to maintain your chain. Use status effects to make encounters easier and faster.

3. Maximizing Rates

Combine multiple methods: use shiny charms, participate in events, and maintain a high chain. The maximum possible shiny rate can reach up to 10% with all bonuses active.

4. Patience and Persistence

Shiny hunting requires patience. Don't get discouraged if you don't find one immediately. Track your encounters and celebrate milestones along the way.
