The Pokémon player community is deep into the Sinnoh remakes, with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Brilliant Pearl, so today we will show you how to get one of the most emblematic Pokémon of Gen IV, Shinx and its evolutions.
Something that seems quite curious to us is that all the Pokémon fans who have enjoyed the Game Freak deliveries have their favorite Pokémon well seen, and the adorable electric type returns in the remakes of Pokémon Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl, so that many players want to know how to find Shinx, Luxio and Luxray.
Where to find Shinx in Pokemon Shiny Diamond and Shiny Pearl
Players looking for Shinx are in luck, as you can catch the Pokemon early in the game. Which means you can take the electric type on your entire trip to Sinnoh. Below, we’ll break down the best place to find the beloved Gen IV character, as well as his Luxio and Luxray evolutions.
- The quickest way to find Shinx is to head to Route 202, which is north of Sandgem Town. The location is accessible from the beginning of the game.
- Just walk to the patch of grass and run until it triggers an encounter with the Pokemon.
- Shinx has a 30% spawn rate and will spawn at level 3, so it shouldn’t take long to run into Sinnoh ‘mon.
It can also be captured at a higher level in the Grand Underground. Players can find it in the Spacious Cave, Grassland Cave, Whiteout Cave, and Sunlit Cavern hideouts.
How to get Luxio
After catching Shinx, you now need to get enough experience points to trigger his evolution to Luxio.
- Shinx will evolve into Luxio at level 15. Trainers can reach this fairly quickly early in the game by bringing the ‘mon into battles with wild Pokémon.
- By the time you defeat Gym #1 in Oreburgh City, you should be at or very close to his second form.
- Trainers can also use a rare candy to quickly level up their Pokémon. However, this is only recommended if you catch Shinx in the Grand Underground at a higher level.
Luxio can also be caught as a spawn in the Grand Underground. However, players must first obtain the seventh gym badge in Snowpoint City for it to appear. After doing so, the electric type can be found in the Spacious Cave, Grassland Cave, Whiteout Cave, and Sunlit Cavern Hideouts.
Luxray Evolution
Luxray’s final evolution activates after players get their Luxio to level 30. Players who caught Shinx on Route 202 should be able to easily pull it off by having the ‘mon in their party until the third Gym in Veilstone City.
Trainers who wait to catch Luxio in the Grand Underground after the 7th Gym will gain the ‘mon at levels 42 to 63. Because of this, they can evolve Luxray using a single Rare Candy.
While Studio ILCA has provided players with many options to find Shinx, the quickest method is to simply catch it early in the game and use it on your team constantly.
