Pokemon Legends: Z-A Shinies Are Being Sold for Hundreds of Real Dollars

by

Rare, shiny versions of Pokémon in the new game, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, are being sold online for surprisingly high prices, sometimes reaching hundreds of dollars. While many players find it easier to find these shiny Pokémon in this game compared to older titles—thanks to how the game works and some helpful glitches—people are still willing to spend a lot of money to get the specific shiny Pokémon they want.

Completing the Pokedex is already a big challenge because there are so many Pokemon to catch or trade. But some players go even further, trying to find Shiny Pokemon – these are just differently colored versions of regular Pokemon. Shinies don’t make you any stronger in battles, but they’re visually appealing and many players enjoy collecting them.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Shinies are Selling for Hundreds of Dollars

People are already listing rare, shiny Pokémon from the upcoming Pokémon Legends: Z-A on eBay, and some are asking for surprisingly high prices – even hundreds of dollars. These listings include individual shiny Pokémon, as well as collections with perfect stats. Prices vary greatly, from a few dollars for common shinies to hundreds for well-trained sets. While not all of these expensive listings will sell, eBay records show that several have already been purchased.

The number of Shiny Pokemon listed for sale in Pokemon Legends: Z-A shows there’s high demand, but players should be cautious. Some listings on sites like eBay might feature fake or illegally modified Pokemon – a problem Game Freak is even taking legal action against. Plus, even if a Shiny Pokemon is genuine, it can’t be transferred to previous Pokemon games, so buyers should consider this before purchasing.

Although not every Pokémon player will spend a lot of money on rare, Shiny Pokémon, the game is clearly doing well. Pokémon Legends: Z-A sold more copies in its first week in Japan than Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and it sold an impressive 5.8 million copies worldwide during that same period. Luckily, there are many strategies for Pokémon Legends: Z-A that can help players find these unique Pokémon without spending a fortune.
