There's a simple glitch you can use to get shiny Flutter Mane in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, and the Nintendo Switch 2's performance boost means you can now get more of the sparkly critters than ever before.
The Switch 2 versions of Scarlet and Violet boast an impressive 60 frames per second and also a higher Pokemon spawn count thanks to a larger render distance and an increase of the original Switch's hard limit of 16. Naturally, shiny hunters are already using this to their advantage.
The switch 2 improvement is crazy! I legit couldn't believe this many spawned! from r/PokemonScarletViolet
"The switch 2 improvement is crazy! I legit couldn't believe this many spawned," they write excitedly. "I legit kept colliding with some of them, causing me to trigger a battle animation… when I ran, I was touching another one, which triggered the battle animation again and so on…"
They say it took them just 24 minutes to find seven shiny Flutter Mane, so if you've been wanting to get the perfect VGC-ready one, get hunting.

Another player got 10 shiny Porygon 2 during an outbreak. It's unbelievable. Some people are angry it's so easy to get shinies these days – when I was a kid, you had to deal with the full 1/8192 odds – but does it really matter?
