Earlier, Shiny Pokémon would be a rare occurrence in previous games, and getting hold of one would take a lot of time, ranging from a few days to a few months. But now, there is a new system implemented in Pokémon Legends Arceus where it becomes easier to get a Shiny Pokémon.
When a Shiny Pokémon appears, it will appear as a Mass Gathering. What this means is that there will be an area where many of the same types of Pokémon will spawn, and one of them will be Shiny. Not all the Pokémon that will be present there will be a Shiny Pokémon, so you will have to take your time to find the Shiny Pokémon in the gathering. The areas where these Mass Gatherings take place are not confirmed and they seem to appear at random, but if you are near one, you can hear a lot of celebratory noises and sparkles in the air to indicate their location. So even if they are off your screen radius, hearing them can alert you of their presence. Some players who got the early leaked versions of Pokémon Legends Arceus have already reported that they will be informed in the game about these Mass Gatherings and the type of Pokémon that are spawning there.
It has been confirmed that saving before capturing a wild Shiny and then loading the game will still keep the Shiny in the same location, so this is a plus for players who think they would end up killing the Shiny Pokémon and need to save the game to try again. There is even a mission in the game that hands out a Shiny Ponyta as a reward.
