Q: Are the legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet shiny locked?

A: Yes, both Koraidon from Scarlet and Miraidon from Violet are shiny locked. This means you won't be able to encounter or catch shiny versions of these legendaries in the game.

Q: Why can't players find shiny versions of legendary Pokemon in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet?

A: The legendary Pokemon are already rare to begin with. The base chance of finding a shiny Pokemon is 1 in 4096, so combining this with the rarity of legendaries would make it an extremely time-consuming task for players. Game Freak decided to shiny lock them to prevent players from having to farm for extended periods.

Q: Will there be an opportunity to get shiny versions of Koraidon and Miraidon in the future?

A: While it's not confirmed, there's a possibility that Game Freak could unlock Koraidon and Miraidon for shiny drops in a future update or expansion, similar to how they introduced shinies for legendary Pokemon in the Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield.
