ZA Player completes Impossible Shiny Hunt

AND Pokemon Legends: ZA the player can complete the glowing hunt in Wild Zone 20, which was removed from the game with the Mega Dimension DLC in December 2025. Pokemon Legends: ZA When it came out, players quickly noticed that it was the perfect shiny hunting game due to how spawns reset when resting on benches or entering and exiting indoor areas like the building in Wild Zone 4 or Professor Mable's lab near Wild Zone 1.

It didn't take long for players to find ways to shiny hunt virtually any individual Pokémon in the game, with the exception of locked targets like Mewtwo, Diancie, and the three legendary Pokémon from Gen 6. Still, one of the coolest shiny hunts to come from the early days of the game was the “spawn glitch, overload” that allowed them to trace their location back to save a Pokémon. the original spawner next to the new pokemon that was spawned there in the meantime. This allowed players to shiny hunt multiple Alpha Pokémon Pokemon Legends: ZA at one time in Wild Zone 20, but was fixed by version 2.0, which was when the DLC was released on December 10, 2025.

Pokemon Legends: ZA Player finds six Alpha Shiny Pokemon in Wild Zone 20 after removing the glitch

A Reddit user named Duelingk shared a post on the platform showing six shiny Alpha Pokémon Pokemon Legends: ZA's Wild Zone 20, right below the tower in the area. This was a notorious congestion point for lightning hunters who wanted a handful of Alpha creatures, but since the release of the Mega Dimension DLC, this glitch has been fixed.

This shiny method of hunting was not discussed or confirmed by The Pokemon Company in advance, so many fans found themselves without access to Wild Zone 20's overloaded spawn, or perhaps with only a few Pokemon. It took the Duelingk several weeks to complete this hunt, with Noivern being the last shiny of the six Pokémon. It was also a weird hunt back then because there was no control over which Pokémon would spawn every time one repositioned the bench. Pokemon Legends: ZAmeaning that shinies could be any of the 70 or so Pokemon that appear at the base of the tower in Wild Zone 20.

Pokemon Legends: ZAThe DLC added shiny new hunting options via Asha's Donuts, and they basically behaved like shiny sandwiches in Gen 9, albeit with random properties with little control based on scores in each flavor category. This made finding shinies a little frustrating, as a lot of the process was either farming for Hyperspace Berries on replay or resetting the game to a previous save for each Donut that didn't yield the desired results.
