Pokemon Legends: Arceus, like manyPokemongames before it, has a unique challenge for truly dedicated players to tackle. The Pokemon in the game all have what are called “shiny” variants, which are essentially re-skins where the Pokemon appear with different colors than usual. Shiny Pokemon are incredibly rare to find, butPokemon Legends: Arceusdoes offer ways in which players can make finding and catching shiny Pokemon a little easier.
One of the ways thatPokemon Legends: Arceusplayers can speed up their shiny hunting is by acquiring an item called the Shiny Charm.Pokemon Legends: Arceusplayers can only get the Shiny Charm very late in the game, after they have already completed theHisui region Pokedex. Unfortunately, there was a bug preventing somePokemon Legends: Arceusplayers from getting the Shiny Charm at all, even after completing the Pokedex. In turn, this made getting all the shiny Pokemon in the game even more difficult.

Pokemon Legends: Arceus Update 1.1.1 Patch Notes
This latestPokemon Legends: Arceusupdate should definitely please fans who have reached the end of the game and were unable to get the Shiny Charm. However, some players may be anxious for more substantial new content updates forPokemon Legends: Arceus. ApreviousPokemon Legends: Arceusupdateactually added new content to the game, but there hasn’t been any word on bigger updates beyond that.
There are some who are holding out hope for aPokemon Legends: ArceusDLC expansion, but it’s unclear if anything like that will actually materialize. After all, Game Freak and Nintendo are set to launch the Generation 9Pokemongames later this year in the form ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet, and continued support forLegends: Arceusmay make the games compete with one another.
Then again,Pokemon Legends: Arceusgameplay is different enough from traditionalPokemongames that it seems like there’s plenty of room for both styles ofPokemongame to exist. Regardless if Game Freak has more ambitious plans forPokemon Legends: Arceusupdates or not, fans can download update 1.1.1 and grab theShiny Charmif they haven’t already.
