Pokemon fans are in shambles as The Pokemon Company publishes the first-ever official Shiny hunting guide for Scarlet and Violet

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players can't believe their luck, as The Pokemon Company publishes the first-ever official Shiny hunting guide.

On April 3, the official Pokemon Twitter account shared the post below, along with a link to this helpful blog post. "Learn how to increase your chances of encountering elusive Shiny Pokémon across the Paldea region, the land of Kitakami, and the Terarium at Blueberry Academy!" the tweet reads. Although this is useful for trainers, Pokemon fans can't believe what they're seeing, as this isn't typically something the developer would do. 

The guide, which gives a tutorial on what Shinies are and how to catch them, features tonnes of tips and tricks including how to get the Shiny Charm, what mass outbreaks are in Scarlet and Violet, and the different ways in which Sparkling Power can be used to increase your chances of encountering Shinies. Perhaps most useful, the guide also gives several recipes for creating sandwiches using Sparkling Power.
