Shiny Pokemon from Wild Zones
For the most part, Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A tend to be extremely rare, as was the case in previous games in the series. If you really want to find one, then you should keep your eyes peeled when exploring Lumiose City, especially Wild Zones.
Wild Zones are specific parts of the city where you can capture Pokemon that are roaming around. The further you are in the campaign, the more Wild Zones become available, and each one has at least five species that you can catch. One of these spawns might turn out to be a Shiny, though it’s not always guaranteed.
