How to shiny hunt Terarium Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk DLC

If you want to shiny hunt in the Terarium, you should get your hands on the Academy Special from the Blueberry Academy Cafeteria. This will cost you 150 Blueberry Points (BP) which you can get by completing Blueberry Quests (BBQs) in the Terarium. Once you have enough points, head to the Cafeteria and purchase the food item.

The Academy Special offers the following benefits:

  • Catching Power: All Types – Lv. 2
  • Egg Power – Lv. 1
  • Sparkling Power: All Types – Lv. 1

While the spawn rate for shinies isn’t as great using this method as it is by crafting a Herba Mystica Sandwich at your picnic, it increases your chance of finding shinies of all types. Traditionally, a Herba Mystica sandwich will only increase the spawn chance of a single Pokemon type.

Additionally, the use of the Academy Special is quicker and more efficient than crafting traditional sandwiches unless you already have enough Herba Mystica in your inventory. This is because the act of farming the herbs is much slower than purchasing the meal from the academy.

Spawn Rates

The base spawn chance of a shiny Pokemon is 1/4096. With the Shiny Charm, this chance increases to 1/1365. This can be further increased with the Academy Special and by going to a mass outbreak.

If you have unlocked the Shiny Charm, your odds of finding a shiny Pokemon are even greater. Keep this method in mind the next time you want to catch shiny starter Pokemon like Torchic, Mudkip, or Grookey.

That is everything you need to know about shiny hunting in the Terarium. Be sure to check out all the legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Indigo Disk. You can also check out the best hidden secrets and easter eggs in Pokemon Indigo Disk.
