Shiny hunting has always been an exciting yet challenging aspect of Pokemon games, and in Pokemon Legends, it’s no different. In the new Mega Dimension DLC, a powerful method has emerged, making it much easier to catch shiny Pokemon—especially rare ones like the Alpha Shiny Gible. If you’ve been struggling to get your hands on that elusive shiny, this guide will walk you through a reliable strategy for securing an Alpha Shiny Gible.

Step 1: Preparing for Your Shiny Hunt

Before you can begin hunting for shiny Pokemon, you’ll need to make a crucial backup save file. This is essential because you’ll be reloading your progress often during the shiny hunting process. To start, head to any Pokemon Center and save your game. This creates a checkpoint, allowing you to revert to this point whenever necessary.

Once that's done, head over to Hotel Z, where you’ll meet Ana. She will help you prepare the shiny donut using Hyper Tanganger. The key item here is the donut, which will provide you with random boosts such as Sparkling Power and Alpha Power. You’ll need Sparkling Power Ground Level 3 and Alpha Power Level 2 or above for this method to work. If you don't get the desired results, simply exit the game and reload your backup save.

Step 2: Getting the Right Powers

Now that you have the shiny donut prepared, it’s time to reroll for the perfect combination of powers. Use the donut to get your random boosts, and if you don’t get the desired Sparkling Power and Alpha Power, close the game and reopen it. This may take several attempts, but patience is key. Once you’ve got the desired stats, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 3: Hunting for Shiny Gible

With the correct powers in place, head to the Hyperspace Hole where Gible can spawn. This is where the magic happens, as you’re guaranteed to encounter a shiny Gible once you enter. However, there’s a catch: you want an Alpha Shiny Gible, not just any shiny Gible. To achieve this, you need to reset the game until you get the shiny Gible in its Alpha form.

Here’s the trick: when you enter the Hyperspace Hole, don’t rush into catching the shiny Gible. Instead, return to the Pokemon Center and make another backup save. Now, you can head back into the Hyperspace Hole, where you’ll have a chance to encounter a shiny Gible again. Keep reloading until you find the Alpha Shiny Gible.

Step 4: Catching the Alpha Shiny Gible

Once you’ve found your Alpha Shiny Gible, it’s time to catch it. Make sure to save the game before attempting to catch it, as these shiny creatures can easily run away. I recommend using a Heavy Ball for a better chance at a successful catch. My personal experience with using this ball for an Alpha Shiny Gible worked out really well—it added that extra flair to the moment.

After a bit of trial and error (and some failed attempts), you’ll finally have that shiny Alpha Gible in your collection. It took me around two hours to get mine, but once it was in the bag, the effort felt totally worth it.

Step 5: Additional Shiny Hunting Tips

If you’re still hungry for more shiny Pokemon, you can continue the hunt after catching your Alpha Gible. With plenty of time left in the Hyperspace Hole, you can take on the Golden Ball Challenge and collect rare berries. These will help you in future shiny hunts, making the process smoother and more rewarding.

Shiny hunting can be a grind, but with this method, you can consistently spawn shiny Pokemon, especially Alpha Shinies. Keep at it, and soon enough, you’ll have a whole collection of rare shinies, ready to show off.

Shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends doesn’t have to be a time-consuming, frustrating experience. Thanks to the Donut Method and a few clever tricks, you can guarantee shiny Gibles—and even Alpha Shinies—without hours of waiting. By preparing your backup save, using the shiny donut effectively, and reloading the game, you can drastically increase your chances of encountering these rare creatures. Happy shiny hunting!
