How to Get Shiny Monsters

This is article explains the probability of shiny monsters appearing in Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (DQM3). Read on to also learn what is a shiny monster and how to get shiny monsters.

What Percentage of Synthesis Produce Shiny Monsters?

Approximately 5% Produce a Shiny Monster

A team of 6 people synthesized 100 monsters each, observing that shiny monsters were produced at a rate of 4.83%. Despite fluctuations in the value, it is safe to assume that the occurrence rate is approximately 5%.

Is it Possible to Carry Over Shine?

Shine Doesn't Carry Over to the Next Monster

The Shiny trait cannot be transferred to the next monster. Even if a Shiny Monster is used during synthesis, there is still only a 5% chance that the produced monster will be shiny as mentioned above.

To generate a shiny monster, please refer to the rerolling method described below.

What is a Shiny Monster?

Stronger Monsters Produced From Synthesis

Shiny monsters, when created, have a sparkling effect that indicates a special strength. Although the probability of their creation is low, they are stronger than their normal counterparts.

Randomly Increases the Max Limit of a Stat by 100

The initial stats of a shiny monster remain unchanged, but the max limit of one of its stats is randomly increased by 100. As a result, as you level up, some of your stats will grow stronger than normal. Only the stat changes. Traits, resistances, and other attributes do not change.

Only Way To Find Out is by Leveling Up

It is impossible to determine which stat has been enhanced for the shiny monster. To assess, raise the level of the non-shiny monster using items like the Metal Slimecard before making a shiny version. Check the growth of its stats, and when a shiny version is produced, raise it to the same level to identify which stat has improved.

Shiny Monsters Have an Indicator

Shiny monsters have a special mark on the bottom left of the monster icon on the party screen, allowing for easy identification even after producing them.

How to Make a Shiny Monster

Can Be Reset by Reloading Saves

You have the ability to re-synthesize as many times as you need by reloading a previous save file. Keep in mind that the autosave feature needs to be disabled in the settings, so your progress doesn't get saved if a shiny monster isn't produced.

You Can Choose the Affected Stat You Want

While it might be tedious, you can also select the stat that will receive the +100 boost from the shiny version. After producing a shiny monster, use items like the Metal Slimecard to find out which stat received the bonus. If it doesn't align with your preference, you can reload your previous save and try again.
