Now, onePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayer called Rocke7Bobert has shared a recurring issue with the community: the shiny Riolu they find faint too often. Rocke7Bobert shared a short 29-second video on r/PokemonScarletViolet, in which they find a Level 62 shiny Riolu, but it uses Final Gambit, sacrificing itself, and preventing the gamer from capturing them. According to some gamers in the comments, that’s quite a common problem, and many of them had previous experiences with losing their shot at claiming the Riolu due to Final Gambit.
Shiny Riolu Often Sacrifice Themselves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Before Gamers Can Capture Them
Fortunately, some gamers pointed out that there’san easy way to capture a shiny Riolu inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. The Final Gambit move is a Fighting-type attack that has high accuracy and essentially defeats the user, but it can be avoided by Ghost-type Pokemon, due to their immunity to effects from this type.
Memorable situations involving shiny Pokemon happen often inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Soon after the game was released, for example, one gamer had atragic attempt at capturing a shiny Flamigo. On this occasion, the player spotted a shiny Flamigo, but was interrupted by a phone call, and ended up losing the chance to fight it.
Luckily, shiny hunts do not always have a bad ending. Last year, a player caught arare shiny inPokemon Brilliant Diamondafter 10 years of trying. In this case, the gamer had Shaymin as their favorite Pokemon, and took literal years until finally being able to successfully capture it with a Dive Ball in Flower Paraside. Luckily, most gamers do not spend so much time on their quests to acquire rare creatures.
