Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Hunters Are Running Into a Problem With Riolu

Highlights

  • Shiny Riolu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet tend to faint before gamers can capture them.
  • The Final Gambit move in the game can be evaded by using Ghost-type Pokemon to capture shiny Riolu successfully.
  • Memorable situations with shiny Pokemon are common, like losing a shiny Flamigo due to interruptions, but some hunts end well.

As a long-time Pokemon enthusiast, I’ve seen my fair share of challenges when it comes to capturing shiny creatures. The latest addition to this list is the elusive Shiny Riolu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. I can relate to Rocke7Bobert’s frustration as I’ve found myself in similar situations, only to have the Riolu use Final Gambit before I could even throw a Pokeball. It seems like this is a common problem among players, which is quite disheartening.


Many fans playing Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are experiencing frustration right now because catching a shiny Riolu is quite challenging. The probability of encountering a shiny in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is 1/4096 if you have the Shiny Charm equipped, making it quite disheartening to fail at capturing one of these rare creatures. In simpler terms, finding a shiny Riolu is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

In 2022, I found myself immersed in the latest addition to the Pokémon universe: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Initially, the game faced a bit of criticism due to some technical issues and bugs at its release. However, as time passed, opinions about this title have greatly improved, solidifying its popularity among fans like me.

Currently, a player named Rocke7Bobert, who is part of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet community, has brought up a frequent issue they’ve encountered: their found shiny Riolus often faint too quickly. Rocke7Bobert posted a brief 29-second video on r/PokemonScarletViolet to demonstrate this problem. In the video, they show a Level 62 shiny Riolu, but unfortunately, it uses Final Gambit, self-destructing and preventing the player from capturing it. Some community members have commented that this issue is quite prevalent, with many players having experienced similar difficulties in attempting to catch the elusive Riolu due to Final Gambit.

Shiny Riolu Often Sacrifice Themselves in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Before Gamers Can Capture Them

It’s lucky that some players found an easy method for catching a shimmering Riolu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The Final Gambit move is a Fighting-type attack with high precision, but it essentially knocks out the user. However, Ghost-type Pokemon can dodge this due to their resistance to these kinds of effects.

Frequent encounters with radiant Pokemon are common in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Shortly after the game’s debut, a player experienced a heartbreaking attempt at catching a shiny Flamigo. On this particular day, the player stumbled upon a shiny Flamigo, but was interrupted by an incoming phone call, causing them to miss the opportunity to battle it.

Fortunately, not every “shiny hunt” concludes unfavorably. Last year, a player managed to catch a seldom-seen shiny Pokemon in ‘Pokemon Brilliant Diamond’ following a decade of attempts. This particular gamer was deeply fond of Shaymin and persevered for years until eventually capturing it using a Dive Ball in Flower Paradise. It is worth noting that most gamers usually do not invest such extensive time in their pursuit of rare creatures.
