Are Jirachi and Mew shiny-locked? Yes. Unfortunately, both of these Mythical Pokemon are shiny-locked, which means you cannot get a shiny variant of them.
Are there any shiny locked Pokémon in BDSP?
Fortunately, very few Pokemon in BDSP are shiny locked - you can't get shinies from the in-game trades (though gifts like the postgame Eevee can shine), and the gift Mew and Jirachi you receive for having played previous Pokemon games on the Switch are also shiny locked.Is Shiny Mew obtainable?
Unfortunately, Shiny Mew won't come for free. Players will have to purchase a ticket for the Kanto event – which will set them back $11.99 and cannot be bought with PokeCoins – from the in-game store if they want the chance to catch one of the incredibly rare creatures.How do you get a shiny Mew in 2021?
