Hi trainers! Today we’re going after one of Paldea’s foundational Pokémon, Cyclizar! What is special about Cyclizar? Well, aside from being the main method of transportation and being the link between some very famous legendary Pokémon, they’re super adorable!
Who wouldn’t want to add this precious Pokémon to their shiny collection? It’s a bit of a challenge beyond your normal hunt, though!
There are only a couple of places where you can find wild Cyclizar. Believe it or not, Cyclizar are somewhat rare encounters. There are only two places in Paldea where you can find them but I like East Area 2 best because there’s a lot of room to run around (which you’re going to need). In order to really bring out the Cyclizar though, we’re going to need a good sandwich.
Here’s the recipe I used:
1 serving of cucumber
1 serving of pickles
3 servings of avocado
Two servings of herba mystica in any combination except sweet & sweet, sweet & sour, and sour & sour. 🌿
Wow! Look at all of those Cyclizar! I guess they really like avocados. Now instead of knocking the Cyclizar out I drove very quickly around the area, giving them time to drive in and out and bring new ones. And you’re definitely going to want to mount up - the Cyclizar move fast!
For my hunt, it took a long time for my shiny Cyclizar to appear but when she did it was immediately obvious! Their cream colored accents stick out a lot, making them easy to identify. The cyan bit on their cheeks coupled with the cream color I’d really reminiscent of, well, retro bicycles! Shiny Cyclizar might be a stand out but when you see one you need to act FAST! They’re just as speedy as their regular variant brethren. Stay mounted to catch up and be sure to take advantage of any sort of pause.
She almost looks dizzy here! I encountered my shiny Cyclizar in the very last moments of my shiny sandwich. I cycled through a lot of Cyclizar before finding my shiny because I didn’t have time to chase them down and knock them out for better odds. If I hadn’t encountered my shiny, I would have recovered my ingredients by restoring my save and repeated the process.
I had to introduce my shiny Cyclizar, who I named Bianchi after a very old type of bicycle, to Miraidon given that they are sort of related (??). Related or not, they were fast friends!
Do you have a shiny Cyclizar? Are Cyclizar and Miraidon or Koraidon related? Let me know your take in the comments! Until next time, stay shiny! ✨
Look at all them shines!! All of them were random encounters to!! The revaroom and Gyarados are outbreak shinys. Shiny Cyclizar was my first Masuda hunt in scarvi and got him after only 77 eggs out of the 90 i had😅. The roaring moon (Crescent) was a shiny I hunted with the help of an herba mystica dragon sparkling power 3 + dragon encounter power 3! 151 encounters in 30 minutes and BOOM there he was, I love him, he's my baby 🥺🥰
I have a shiny Sawsbuck to but for some reason hes not in winter form anymore so I boxed him :(
Look at all them shines!! All random encounters too! ♡o♡ Except Roaring Moon, I had the help of an herda mistica sandwich lvl 3 dragon sparkling power + dragon encounter lvl 3. Fastest hunt ever, 151 encounters in 30 minutes and BOOM there it was!!!
I also have a shiny Sawsbuck that I used in most of my play through but for some reason he's not in winter form anymore so I boxed him.
