Some of the most dedicated players in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet search for rare shiny Pokémon, which have a different color scheme from their standard counterparts and are used for post-game content. Finding shiny objects is no different in the end-game Area Zero, but collecting them is very challenging.

Some shiny Pokémon have been allowed to roam Area Zero freely and spawn in places you can’t catch them no matter how hard you try due to several bugs, most of which are related to spawn locations. This includes Shiny versions of both Paradox Pokémon like Chansey and Classic Pokémon like the Iron Valiant. If you need more information about In Scarlet and Violet’s Area Zero, shiny Pokémon abound—but many of them are broken, then read carefully, and don’t forget to share with your friends.

The spawn that prevents the teleportation pads in Area Zero in this Reddit post is a prime illustration of that. In this instance, the Redditor received a shiny Chansey but was only able to observe it before having to leave it alone.

The more you investigate it, the worse it becomes. One of the comments made the sad observation that this bug only affects Pokémon in your party or Pokémon you missed picking up earlier. The game unintentionally reminded the player in the most insulting way possible that they had missed the opportunity to catch a shiny Chansey earlier in their playthrough.

The Iron Valiant is a different illustration that isn’t related to the Reddit thread. It has a reputation for being difficult for some players to capture this Paradox Pokémon, which is based on fan-favorite Gallade. Some players may have trouble, or even fail, to locate Iron Valiant in their save file due to spawn rate bugs. If you can’t even catch them naturally, then your chances of obtaining a shiny version, which requires hours of spawn rate grinding, are gone.

With so many bugs already present in the game since its release, Area Zero still seems to be the most bug-filled of all the locations in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Shiny hunters have previously voiced their displeasure with the game, but these two most recent instances only serve to increase the number of issues that need to be resolved.
