In fact, that last improvement is turning about to be an incredible boon for shiny hunters, who are now able to run into giant swarms of Pokemon and make their jobs a lot easier.
A Twitter user called Light_88demonstrated just how easy shiny hunting can be now, as they shared a video on Twitter of themselves in Area Zero running into a massive swarm of Iron Valiants. More Pokemon on-screen means there are more chances for a shiny to spawn, and sure enough, Light_88 picks an Iron Valiant out of the crowd and starts a battle.

You can only get shiny versions of certain Pokemon with hard resets, such as legendaries and starters, anda Twitter user called Norahas figured out that loading into Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl is now around 13 seconds quicker, thus letting you hard reset at a faster pace.
Sure, you’re spending hundreds of dollars on a console for improved shiny chances, but if you’re dedicated and want that living shiny Pokedex, these Nintendo Switch 2 improvements will absolutely save you a ridiculous amount of time.
