How Rare is Shiny Spiritomb in Pokemon Legends: Arceus?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an avid Pokemon shiny hunter in Arceus, I‘ve done extensive research into the rarity of different shiny species. Spiritomb stands out as one of the rarest and most coveted shinies in the game. But exactly how rare is it? Let‘s break down the numbers.

Shiny Odds for Spiritomb

The base odds of encountering a shiny Pokemon in Legends: Arceus is 1 in 4096. This means on average, you‘d have to battle 4096 Spiritomb before finding one that‘s shiny.

However, with the Shiny Charm obtained by completing the Pokedex, these odds improve dramatically to approximately 1 in 819 based on datamines of the game‘s code.

So your base shiny odds are:

  • Without Shiny Charm: 1 in 4096
  • With Shiny Charm: ~1 in 819

That‘s still pretty rare compared to more common shinies like Starly or Shinx. But there are other factors making shiny Spiritomb extra elusive.

What Makes Spiritomb Rare to Encounter?

Spiritomb has one of the lowest regular spawn rates in the game at 0.44% chance to appear in its spawn locations. Its spawn chance does not improve for the shiny variant.

So in addition to 1 in 819 base shiny odds, you have less than a 1% chance of even seeing Spiritomb spawn! That really hampers your chances.

Some reports estimate it taking over 80 hours of resetting Crimson Mirelands outbreaks before a shiny Spiritomb appeared. That‘s some serious dedication!

Recommended Methods to Get Shiny Spiritomb

Based on Spiritomb‘s rare spawns and shiny odds, here are tips to boost your chances:

Reset Crimson Mirelands Outbreaks

Outbreaks can force Spiritomb to spawn more often. Save at camp, check if an outbreak spawned Spiritomb, then reset and repeat if not shiny.

Obtain the Shiny Charm

Cut those 1 in 4096 base odds all the way down to 1 in 819! Complete the Pokedex first.

Have Patience and Persistence!

With its rarity, finding a shiny Spiritomb often takes 30+ hours even with the Shiny Charm. But keep at it and eventually you‘ll find one!
