How to Find Shiny Stones in Pokemon Sword and Shield

Shiny Stone (Pokemon Company)

Location 1: You can farm Shiny Stones by catching Clefairy, Clefable, or Lunatone. These Pokemon have a 5% chance of holding the stone so you can catch them repeatedly (an average of 20 catches to gain a stone) to find it.

Location 2: To find this location, you must first unlock the Water Rotom Bike on Route 9 to be able to drive through the blocked area. In the northwest of the Wild Area is a place called the Lake of Outrage. There, you will find a circle of large rocks where many Evolution Stones are hiding—here you will discover a Shiny Stone.

Location 3: This Shiny Stone can be found on Route 8. Find the ladder beside Dr. Joanna. Climb the ladder and follow the path on the right to the Shiny Stone.

Good luck!
