Overview

• Data miner Anubis reports that once a Shiny appears it remains on the map until you interact with it, even after leaving and reentering the area.
• GamesRadar+ relays that the system appears to store only the most recent 10 non‑interacted Shinies, so newer spawns can displace older ones.
• Shinies can still be lost if they are scared off or knocked out, with players advised to create a manual save on sight.
• Anubis also notes players can use the title screen backup save to retry a failed capture after saving upon spotting a Shiny.
• VGC describes a reroll spot in Wild Zone 3 that repeatedly refreshes spawns to farm Shinies, though none of these findings have been officially confirmed by Game Freak.
