How to Get Shiny Alpha Starters in Pokemon Legends Arceus Update

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is among the most innovative entries in the series, introducing plenty of new mechanics and features that are sure to become staples for the franchise as a whole in the future.

Among these new features are the new Alpha variants, bigger and stronger variants of regular Pokemon that can be very hard to come by. Alpha Pokemon can also be shiny, but finding them is even more difficult, so catching one is a true accomplishment. Even more so if we are talking about shiny alpha starters.

Here’s how to get one of these shiny alpha starters in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

How to Get Shiny Alpha Starters in Pokemon Legends Arceus Update

Shiny alpha starters in Pokemon Legends: Arceus can only be obtained from time distortions, and chances are extremely low of them appearing even in the 1.0.2 update. The actual starters you can pick at the start of the game are shiny locked, and so are those you get in the post-game, so you have no other option than to explore time distortions and hope for the best.

You can slightly increase your chances of finding the shiny alpha starters by perfecting their Pokedex entries and by getting the Shiny Charm, but chances will continue to be extremely low, so arm yourself with patience, as getting all three shiny alpha starters will take you a very, very long time.
