How To Get Shiny Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf

For players looking for shiny Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, the good news is that a shiny variant of the Pokemon does exist in the game. Uxie's shiny variant features a yellow and brown color tone instead of blue and yellow. Mesprit features yellow and red instead of blue and pink. And last but not least, Azelf features yellow and dark blue instead of light blue and green. If players are having trouble remembering the color combinations, they can simply look for the shiny symbol which can be found right beside their CP in Pokemon GO.

As far as catching a shiny variant goes, since these Pokemon are legendary, the standard odds of 1 in 20 apply to the Pokemon. This essentially means that every time players encounter any of the three Pokemon, there is a 1 in 20 chance that the Pokemon will be shiny. While this might sound a bit daunting, it is not quite bad considering the fact that some Pokemon have 1in 64 odds in Pokemon GO. Players usually get a shiny in about 30 to 40 encounters, so that should be what shiny hunters should be aiming for.

Best Moveset For Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf

The Psychic trio is most effective using their Psychic-type attacks, thanks to the STAB bonus they get due to it. For players looking for the best moveset, here is the best choice for all of the three Pokemon.
