Do Shooting Stars Mean Anything?

Purely a Visual Effect

Shooting stars in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet do not have any purpose and are only meant to be a visual spectacle when they happen.

Nothing unique happens in the game except for having a scenic sky for a few moments. Shooting stars also do not have any in-battle effects, unlike the weather.

Take Photos With Camera

Shooting stars are a rare thing in the game, so you can capture those moments by using the game's camera to snap photos of the sky, or even take a selfie!

Visual Effect Appearing in the Sky

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV) - Shooting Stars

Shooting stars are a unique occurrence that can happen in the game during nighttime. During the event, several meteors will streak across the starry sky.

Only Appears at Night

It should be noted that shooting stars can only appear at night. If you want to see one for yourself, you can simply change the game's time and set it to nighttime.

Has a Random Chance of Happening

Shooting stars may appear randomly in the night sky. There isn't a clear indication of when they are going to appear, so just keep an eye out!

The entire scene lasts for quite some time, so there is a slim chance of you missing it, unless your camera is always directed at the ground or you are currently in a cave or underground.
