A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet player ran into a Shiny pocket monster at a grand location. Many gamers have hunted for the alternate colored creatures since their introduction in Generation 2 of the RPG series. Shiny Pokemon have become a sort of trophy for players, with catching them being an additional goal in the games.
Shiny pocket monsters can be spotted in the overworld of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, making finding them a bit easier in the franchise's current generation. Despite this, it is still a good feeling when spotting one of the rare creatures in the wild. One player was able to encounter a Shiny in a very epic spot in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's world.
A Redditor named _ReyMenn shared a clip of them running into the Pokemon Sneasel in the Glaseado Mountain. As the user climbs the peaks of the area, they come to a small clearing where the pocket monster is standing, overlooking the games' world. As _ReyMenn approaches, the Sneasel turns to face them, revealing that it is a Shiny. The clip ends before the player starts a battle with the Pokemon, so it is unknown if they caught the pocket monster. Regardless, the moment is grand and is a perfect way to run into a Shiny creature while exploring the games' world.
The clip that _ReyMenn uploaded is gaining a bit of traction, as fans have gotten the epic moment to over 1,000 upvotes. Many commenters are comparing the video to the final encounter with Red from the end of Pokemon Gold and Silver, which happens in a similar manner at the top of a mountain. One fan joked that the Sneasel was the protagonist the entire time, while another mentioned that the pocket monster has a quest for the player. Running into any creature in this way would be an epic moment in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but having it be a Shiny is icing on the cake.
Running into any Shiny Pokemon in the wild can be a wonderful experience, making the moment that _ReyMenn posted even greater. Many players take extra measures to increase their chances of running into a one of the special pocket monsters and yet will have trouble coming across even one Shiny. As _ReyMenn stated, this makes the moment that they recorded a "massively lucky find," and is something that any Pokemon player would enjoy coming across. As players continue to explore the world of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, they will surely run into more amazing moments just as _ReyMenn did.
