How to easily catch a Shiny Riolu in Pokémon Legends ZA
This video introduces two easy ways to catch a shiny Riolu and a shiny Hawlucha in Pokémon Legends ZA. The first method is the bench AFK method, which involves sitting on a bench in a specific location and repeating the reset. The second method is faster but not AFK, using a 5-minute timer after knocking out Riolu and saving just before the respawn.
1. 🎮 Bench AFK Hunting Spot and Method for a Shiny Riolu
- ✅ Start at the Cafe Truck in Blue Sector 5, look at the Magikarp, and move to the right.
- ✅ Create an ice bridge with a Fire-type move to reach the Binacle horde.
- ✅ Go up to the roof, sit on the bench, and wait for Riolu to spawn.
- ✅ Riolu spawns on clear days and must be within 50m.
- ✅ You can catch a shiny Pokémon using the bench reset AFK method.
- ⚠️ This method can take a long time, and a shiny Riolu may not appear.
| Pokémon | Spawn Location |
|---|---|
| Riolu | Near the bench |
| Pidgeon | Nearby |
| Binacle | Near the ice bridge |
| Gastly | On the roof |
