Player Discovers Shiny Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet Nuzlocke Challenge

A Pokemon enthusiast tackling a Nuzlocke run in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has stumbled upon an incredibly rare gem: a Shiny Pokemon found in the wild. Spotting a Shiny is always a big deal, even in the expansive worlds of Scarlet and Violet, so it’s no surprise this discovery has drawn cheers from fellow players.

Nuzlocke challenges bring an extra layer of difficulty to Scarlet and Violet by adhering to specific rules about catching and handling Pokemon. For instance, these rules typically prevent trainers from catching any Pokemon they’ve already captured. However, this situation offered a unique twist.

Over on Reddit, a user going by StrudelStorm posted a thrilling screenshot capturing their encounter with a Shiny Oinkologne. This moment was particularly noteworthy because the level 28 Pokemon wasn’t part of a mass outbreak, making this a significant and lucky discovery during the Nuzlocke run. While StrudelStorm humorously mentioned it’s “just” an Oinkologne, plenty of fans celebrated this rare find and shared their appreciation for the Pokemon. Following tradition, StrudelStorm bestowed a nickname on the Shiny, calling it Presunto, which means ham in Brazilian Portuguese.

### Catching a Shiny Pokemon in Nuzlocke Challenge?

In response to StrudelStorm’s post, some fans cheekily suggested bending the rules to catch the Shiny. However, it turns out that there’s actually a provision for these moments. According to Nuzlocke challenge guidelines, players are generally allowed to capture the first wild Pokemon they encounter in a new area, and if they miss that chance, they’re not allowed to attempt a second capture. That said, there’s a special Shiny clause permitting players to catch any Shiny Pokemon they encounter, no matter if it’s the first in the area or not.

Making this find even more extraordinary is how Scarlet and Violet have shaken up the traditional approach to Nuzlocke challenges. Due to the absence of designated routes in these games, players like StrudelStorm often find themselves wandering aimlessly until they bump into a Pokemon. With all these elements combined to make finding a Shiny so tough, it’s clear why StrudelStorm and others are over the moon about this discovery.
