In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, obtaining the Shiny Charm is one of the most rewarding yet time-consuming goals for players who love shiny hunting. This rare item dramatically increases shiny encounter rates, cutting the odds from 1 in 4,096 to 1 in 1,024—a massive improvement for collectors aiming to expand their Shiny roster or even buy Shiny Pokémon ZA from other players. However, before you can enjoy those boosted odds, you’ll need to complete one of the game’s toughest tasks: winning 1,000 battles.

This guide breaks down the two most efficient methods to hit that milestone, including setup steps, recommended Pokémon, and time-saving strategies tested by the community.

The Basics: How the Shiny Charm Works

You’ll receive the Shiny Charm as a reward from Mabel after completing all Pokédex Research Tasks, including catching, evolving, trading, and battling. While most of these are simple, the “1,000 battles” requirement is the final obstacle for most players.

Finishing the main story typically leaves you with 200–300 battles logged, so expect several hours of focused grinding ahead. Fortunately, two primary routes can help you finish efficiently: the Restaurant Lar method and the ZA Royale Dragonite strategy.

Method 1: Restaurant Lar Battle Grinding

If your Pokémon are still around level 30–40, Restaurant Lar in Vert Sector 6 is a perfect starting point.

Entry Fee: 300 Pokédollars (you’ll earn this back easily)

Battle Setup: Three trainers in a row, each with Pokémon under level 30

Duration: About 3 minutes per full run

On average, you’ll complete 60 battles per hour using this method. It’s repetitive but steady and requires minimal preparation. If you’ve just finished the game and want to farm without worrying about difficult opponents, this is the most reliable option.

That said, reaching 1,000 battles will still take roughly 12–14 hours of continuous play. If you want something faster—and more profitable—the next method is far superior.

Method 2: Dragonite Setup for ZA Royale

Once you reach the postgame and unlock Wild Zone 20, you can shift to a much faster approach inside the ZA Royale. This method uses a Dragonite built for high-speed, one-hit knockouts.

Step 1: Catch or Evolve Dragonite

You can:

Catch a Dratini on the rooftop of Restaurant Lena (Vert Sector 6) and evolve it, or

Catch an Alpha Dragonite in the center of Wild Zone 20 (recommended).

The Alpha Dragonite appears around level 64 and comes with three perfect IVs, saving you time and training resources.

Step 2: Train and Optimize

Once caught, level Dragonite to 100 and use the following moveset:

Extreme Speed (most important)

Outrage

Fire Punch

Earthquake (or Bulldoze if you lack the TM)

Hyper Train it at the Justice Dojo using Bottle Caps, and set its nature to Adamant via Nature Mints (purchased near Café Em in Rouge Sector). EV-train it with 25 HP Ups and 25 Proteins to boost offense and durability.

Finally, equip a Normal Gem—earned from the Lumios Museum side quest—to power up Extreme Speed.

Step 3: ZA Royale Battle Strategy

When entering the ZA Royale, switch to night mode at any Pokémon Center. Use Dragonite’s Extreme Speed to ambush opponents before they can react. This strategy often ends battles instantly, skipping the typical cutscene delay and maximizing hourly battle counts.

Depending on your pace, you can achieve 30–50 wins per Royale, making it possible to complete the 1,000 battles in 8–9 hours—significantly faster than any other method.

As an added bonus, this is one of the best money-farming strategies in the game. With consistent wins, you’ll never have to worry about Pokédollars again, especially useful if you plan to buy Shiny Pokémon ZA or rare Mega Stones.

Which Method Should You Choose?

If you’re early in the postgame or still building a competitive team, Restaurant Lar offers a steady grind with minimal prep.

However, if you have access to Wild Zone 20 and can train up Dragonite, the ZA Royale method is the clear winner in terms of speed, profit, and engagement. It’s also an ideal training ground for players preparing for high-level endgame content or shiny hunting challenges.

For players who frequently trade or collect shinies, optimizing your Shiny Charm progress is essential. The best website for ZA shiny hunters often recommends completing this quest before serious trading or shiny collection, as it drastically improves the odds of encountering rare variants.

Earning the Shiny Charm in Pokémon Legends: Z-A isn’t easy, but it’s one of the most satisfying milestones in the game. Whether you prefer the consistent rhythm of Restaurant Lar or the fast-paced efficiency of ZA Royale, both routes will eventually lead you to that coveted charm—and countless shiny encounters to follow.

With patience, preparation, and a properly trained Dragonite, you’ll not only save hours of grinding but also enhance your shiny hunting experience across Lumio City and beyond.
