4 Hardest shiny Pokemon to catch in Scarlet and Violet

---

VIA TENOR

Many players can attest that getting a Pokemon to look shiny is not easy, but some are harder to hunt shiny than others.

Here are some of the hardest shiny Pokemon to catch:

Special Breed Tauros

Tauros has new forms that received an underwhelming shiny form. The only difference between a shiny Tauros and a standard one is that a shiny Tauros’ face and mane swap colors to reflect their typing.

The Blaze and Aqua Breeds of Tauros are rare spawns and brutal to shiny hunt🤯, appearing in a herd of standard Tauros.

Tatsugiri

Tatsugiri are cute little pieces of sushi that have been given life. The shiny appearance of Curly and Stretchy is the same color as the standard Curly form, with only minimal differences.

Mimikyu

Mimikyu is a difficult Pokemon to shiny hunt in Scarlet and Violet because its shine is predetermined by lighting⚡.

Flabebe and Floette

Flabebe and Floette are tiny, with heights of 4 and 8 inches, respectively. Their shiny forms have very few differences, making them hard to hunt.
