Shiny hunting is easier than ever in Pokemon Legends: ZAand getting Shiny Charm makes the odds even better. It takes a huge gate to get the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: ZAhowever.
This gate requires you to complete tons of battles, much more than you will encounter during the main story Pokemon Legends: ZA. The Shiny Charm makes shiny odds much higher, though, so every trainer needs one. Thankfully, there is a way to make Shiny Charm grinding a little less painful Pokemon Legends: ZA.
How to get the Shiny Charm fast in Pokemon Legends: ZA
The fastest way to get Shiny Charm Pokemon Legends: ZA is to complete battles at restaurants throughout Lumiose City. Places like Restaurant Le Nah and Restaurant Le Wow have repeatable battles that you can participate in for a small fee.
Restaurant Le Nah – located on the southeastern edge of Lumiose City – is the best place to do this. Bring a high level Pokemon that can shoot most opponents and just spam battles as fast as you can. It will still take several hours to get the Shiny Charm this way, but it is the fastest method in the entire game.
Most players recommend bringing one 
Lucario who knows the move Extreme speed for this grinding method. Since the animation is so fast, it cuts down on the overall grinding time significantly in the long run. It may seem like a small change, but it makes a huge difference in the end. You can catch one Riolu on Lumiose City's rooftops, and Wild Zone 20 has an Alpha Lucario you can catch.
If you tire of grinding restaurant battles, visit the Battle Zones at night to grind battles the old-fashioned way. You can still fight trainers Combat zones after finishing the main story of Pokemon Legends: ZAand this is a great way to level up any Pokemon that need evolving so you can fill your Pokedex.
You need a full 1000 completed battles to complete the final mission of Mable's Research and unlock the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: ZAso the sooner you start grinding, the better. Thankfully, you only need to achieve this milestone once. Happy shiny hunting!
