Now, Seribii.net founder Joe Merrick is reminding players that the way shiny Pokemon encounters work in <em>Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em> is completely different to how the mechanic worked in past entries.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-bans-planned-january-2021\/\"><strong>Another Wave of Pokemon Sword and Shield Bans is Coming<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of new elements that <em>Pokemon Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em> introduced that may end up changing core elements of the series\u00a0going forward. Perhaps one of the biggest changes involves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-best-wild-area-pokemon-where-to-find\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Pokemon Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em>&#8216;s Wild Area location<\/a>. The Wild Area is an open-world location that is filled with wild Pokemon that spawn around the overworld. A few days ago, Merrick sent out a tweet reminding players that in Generation 8, all random stats for a Pokemon&#8217;s gender, IVs, and even Shiny chances are determined when a Pokemon spawns in the overworld, not when a Pokemon is encountered.<\/p>\n<p>In past games, all of these stats were rolled when a player encountered a random Pokemon in tall grass, as Pokemon didn&#8217;t freely or frequently spawn in the overworld like they do in <em>Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em>. This means that there are many opportunities for players to completely pass up <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/shiny-pokemon-worth-catching-sword-shield\/\">shiny Pokemon in <em>Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em>&#8216;s overworld<\/a> without even knowing that they are doing so. Naturally, this revelation has rubbed a lot of <em>Pokemon<\/em> players the wrong way, as it completely twists the tried and true shiny hunting methods of past games. This new\u00a0way of handling shiny Pokemon encounters is made even more frustrating due to the fact that Pokemon in the overworld never appear shiny, despite being so in the game&#8217;s code.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeMerrick\/status\/1352712963120115712\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Even if a Pokemon is rolled as a shiny Pokemon when it spawns into the overworld, players have no visual indication of it whatsoever.\u00a0This new realization\u00a0will also\u00a0no doubt make those<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-shiny-hunt-switch-joy-con-drift-video-clip\/\"> arduous shiny Pokemon hunting sessions<\/a> just that much more agonizing for <em>Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em> players. On one hand, it makes sense that Game Freak would want to keep that incredible feeling of rarity that comes with a shiny Pokemon encounter intact. On the other hand, not giving\u00a0any sort of visual indication for an already determined shiny Pokemon feels more than a little unfair from the player&#8217;s perspective.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a strange situation all around, as it really wouldn&#8217;t have made much of a difference if Game Freak had just left the previous system in place. Now, players will just have to come to terms with the fact that they may be missing potential shiny encounters constantly. Still, it will be interesting to see if any more <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pokemon-sword-shield-shiny-hunt-method-january-2021\/\">new shiny hunting methods<\/a> spawn from this revelation. Hopefully, all of those <em>Sword<\/em> and <em>Shield<\/em> shiny hunters don&#8217;t lose faith in their hunts going forward.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pokemon Sword\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>and<em>\u00a0<strong>Shield\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>are\u00a0available now for the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"next-single\">MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/new-pokemon-snap-nintendo-switch-spin-off\/\">Pokemon Spin-offs That Should Come to The Nintendo Switch After New Pokemon Snap<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>More than a year after its initial release, players are learning that the way Pokemon Sword and Shield handle shiny Pokemon is completely different.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":148,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Pokemon Sword and Shield Shiny Spawns Work Differently Than Previous Games - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"More than a year after its initial release, players are learning that the way Pokemon Sword and Shield handle shiny Pokemon is completely different."},"footnotes":""},"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176519"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/148"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176519"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":176520,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176519\/revisions\/176520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
