Fast Way To Fill Pokedex

Check Out Shiny Pokedex And Fill It In!

The article linked below lists the Shiny appearance and location of each Pokemon. It also has a checker function that allows you to add a check on captured ones, so please use it when filling the Shiny Pokedex.

Efficient Way To Fill In Pokedex

1. Get Shiny Charm By Completing Paldea Pokedex


Excess Shiny will be exchanged on the bulletin board. You can get it by talking to Jacq in the biology room at school after the comp. It is an excellent item that increases Shiny probability by about 3 times just by having it.

2. Filling Pokedex From Mass Outbreak Pokemon


If you want Shiny to appear it's easiest to select them with Mass Outbreak. Head to the Mass Outbreak location on the map and look for Shiny Pokemon with the Sparkling Power Lv3 activated from Sandwhich.

3. Change The Time When The Mass Outbreak You Are Looking For Is No Longer On The Map


Once you have finished capturing Shiny Pokemon in all the Mass Outbreaks occurring on the map, change the time on the Switch itself to update the Mass Outbreak Pokemon.

If you can update, continue to select Shiny in Mass Outbreak.
4. Aim For Foreign Breeding When The Number Of Unhatched Eggs Decreases


When the number of unhatched Shinies in the Pokedex is getting low, it will be difficult to target the Mass Outbreak you are looking for due to the change in main time, so switch to hatching selection using foreign breeding. Foreign Breeding can be easily done by exchanging foreign Dittos on the Ditto exchange bulletin board.

5. Paradox Pokemon Can Only Be Selected Carefully In The Wild In Normal


Paradox Pokemon can't Mass Outbreak and can't produce Eggs, so you can only normally pick Shiny Pokemon in the wild. Make sure to eat Sandwich of Sparkling Power Lv3 (activate Encounter Power Lv3 at the same time) and choose carefully.

6. Excess Shiny Will Be Exchanged On The Bulletin Board


If you have extra ShinyPokemon, use the Shiny exchange bulletin board to exchange them for Shiny you don't have. In the case of version-limited Pokemon, it is recommended to exchange it for a version-limited Pokemon that you do not have.
