There’s A Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Exploit That Helps You Generate Shinies - Kotaku

YouTuber PhillyBeatzU describes what he calls the “Shiny Picnic Reset Method” (it’s more prescriptive than descriptive) in a recent video—where repeatedly packing up your picnic amidst an outbreak triggers the same few Pokémon to respawn, increasing your chances of getting a shiny one.

A shiny Pokémon, we discussed before, is a normal Pokémon with a more rare color variation.

A Pokémon outbreak is probably the most pleasant iteration of the word you’ll come across—it means there is a gaggle of a certain Pokémon concentrating in one area, and you’ll see it marked on your map by a blinking red symbol.

Before you dig in, you should make sure one of your Pokémon has the move False Swipe, PhillyBeatzU says, but once you do, you can start “killing Pokémon, like a normal mass outbreak.” Brutal.
