Before getting into the method, it is important to understand some key facts. On the one hand, the basic shiny odds in BDSP are basically the same in all games since the 6th generation-1 in 4096. These are your chances of encountering shining in random wild encounters, or the odds of having a legend or starting to shining in any given reset. A lot of people do hunt this way—just repeated field encounters, or soft reset legends—so if you want to hunt in this way, the average shiny time will be about the same as in SWSH.

The soft reset in BDSP also works like SWSH. There is no dedicated button, so you just need to save before the legend, beginner's choice or anything else, then close the game and restart it for a soft reset. For those who are not in the loop, the brightness of a static encounter (such as a starter or a legend) is determined at the beginning of the encounter, so by saving before it, do the encounter, if it doesn’t light up, you reset to the encounter Before, you can basically continue to re-roll the encounter until it shines.

One important thing to note about soft reset is that, just like in previous games, the main world encounters (not the legendary static encounters-although you see these in the main world, you must interact with them) Have all their attributes (such as gender, statistics, yes, gloss) predetermined. The reason is due to the visual difference-the Pokemon that looks different in the female and male variants needs to be reflected in the main world model; unfortunately, although the gloss level is predetermined, it is not displayed in the main world model, so you Still need to encounter Pokemon to find the answer. Therefore, once a Pokemon in the world is spawned, no matter how many resets you perform, it will not become shiny.

This is related to the BDSP in the Grand Underground, because it means you cannot soft reset the World Pokemon there. You can still hunt Pokemon in the Grand Underground, you just have to meet the Pokemon you want, then leave and re-enter the room to reset the spawn, because the soft reset will only let you encounter the same (non-shiny) pocket The monster over and over again.

Now, let's talk about shiny locks. No matter what you do, the shiny locked Pokemon can't shine; for example, SWSH's Zacian and Zamazenta encounters in the story can't shine. It's nice to know which Pokemon in the game are Shiny locked, so you don't waste time looking for the impossible.

Fortunately, very few Pokemons in BDSP are shiny locks-you can’t get shiny things from in-game transactions (although gifts like Ibrahimovic after the game can shiny), and the gifts you receive Mew and Jirachi flashed and locked because of the switch. Other, everything is a fair game: Palkia and Dialga; the legend of Ramanas Park; even Shaymin and Darkrai, as long as their events are available.

One last note-there are shiny follow Pokemon in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, although they must be unlocked, and can be completed once you reach Veilstone City. Bring eligible Pokemon (there are currently 20 Pokemon) into the Friendly Plaza. When you leave, you can take any Pokemon from the Pokeball and let it follow you. If you choose to follow your Pokemon to be shiny, it will look shiny in the main world, and it can follow you to adventure around Sinnoh.
