Best Spot to Hunt Shiny Kilowattrel

North Province (Area Three)

Map Location	Overworld Location

The best spot to hunt a Shiny Kilowattrel is at North Province (Area Three).

Fly to North Province (Area Three) Pokemon Center and Make a Sparkling Power Sandwich

Fly to the North Province (Area Three) Pokemon Center and turn off auto-save. Save your game and create a Sandwich with Sparkling Power: Flying and Encounter Power: Flying.

Once you reached the North Province (Area Three) Pokemon Center, ride towards the Beach near the light house. Thanks to the Sparkling Sandwich you made, Kilowattrel will be the only Pokemon spawning in the area, and in large numbers!

Despawn and Respawn Pokemon in the Area

There will be lots of Kilowattrel in the area and you only need to roam around the whole beach to find more of them. Alternatively, you can set up a picnic and pack it up again to respawn a new set of Kilowattrel. Keep doing either of the two method until you find a Shiny Kilowattrel.

Shiny Kilowattrel is Violet Instead of Black

Instead of a black body with blue bottom, Shiny Kilowattrel is violet in color. It may be hard to distinguish the Shiny Kilowattrel from the regular since they have the similar dark hue, but if you look closely, the regular one has a gray-ish bottom and the Shiny one is violet and has a white bottom.

Use Quick Balls at the start of the encounter to further increase your chances of catching the Shiny Pokemon!
