Nintendo released Pokemon Legends: Arceus last month, and fans continue to discover hidden areas, stumble across glitches, and catch shiny Pokemon. One Pokemon Legends: Arceus fan has taken to the internet to express their enthusiasm for a shiny Spiritomb they found during their adventure, which just happens to be one of its most stylish.
Reddit user GroggleNozzle recently shared a Pokemon Legends: Arceus clip showing their greatest achievement in the Nintendo Switch game thus far, that being the shiny Spiritomb. GroggleNozzle's video begins with the cat-eared Pokemon trainer crossing a bridge near the Pastures in Jubilife Village before throwing a Jet Ball at the ground. The ball opened to show a Spiritomb that shines a bright teal color with purple accents rather than the standard Spiritomb which is a darker purple with a lime green secondary color.
As GroggleNozzle walks closer to their shiny Spiritomb to get a better view, it becomes clearer how much larger the Pokemon is than the height of the protagonist of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. While idling in place, GroggleNozzle's Spiritomb spins and starts to extend towards the Pokemon trainer before it reaches out to one side and swats at the onlooking player who is unscathed. Before GroggleNozzle's clip showing off the rare shiny Pokemon concludes, the Ghost-Dark Pokemon looked to the sky for its trainer to view it from another angle.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus fans won't be able to catch a Spiritomb until they finish the Wisp quest in the region of Hisui. To complete this task, Pokemon fans will have to look for 107 ghostly figures that are scattered around Hisui. Once Pokemon trainers have completed this process, a Spiritomb will randomly replace one of the Ralts near the big keystone statue in Crimson Mirelands.
The shiny Spiritomb is one of the rarest shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus that isn't shiny locked. The initial Spiritomb that Pokemon Legends: Arceus players will encounter along their journeys is shiny locked unlike the one GroggleNozzle acquired, which means players will have to find one in the wild after catching the first one. The Pokemon Legends: Arceus Shiny Charm may help players find a shiny Spiritomb, and it's unlocked by reaching Pokedex Research Level 10 after players have caught every Pokemon in the region of Hisui. The Shiny Charm will bring the shiny encounter rate of 1/4096 in Pokemon Legends: Arceus up to 1/819.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus is now available for Nintendo Switch.
