Legends: Z-A Shiny Camerupt Calculator
1 MethodThe only route here is Full Odds, about 1 in 1,024 on each try. Tune it below.
Full Odds: Walk through grass, surf, or fish. Every encounter is its own independent shiny roll.
How many you have done, or plan to do.
| Chance | Encounters |
|---|---|
| 10%lucky few | 108 |
| 25%one in four | 295 |
| 50%coin flip | 710 |
| 90%very likely | 2,357 |
How is this calculated?
Every encounter has the same shiny chance, the Shiny Odds Per Try shown above. Each one is a separate roll that does not care how many you have already done, so the more you hunt, the higher your overall chance of at least one shiny. The formula below turns your odds and your number of tries into that combined chance.
chance after N tries = 1 − (1 − p)^N, where p = 1 / odds per try
Example at 1 in 8,192 (classic full odds): about 864 encounters for a 10 percent chance, 5,678 for 50 percent, and 18,862 for 90 percent.
The table above flips that around: it shows how many encounters it takes to reach a 10, 25, 50, and 90 percent chance at your current odds. Turning on boosts like the Shiny Charm, sandwiches, or chains improves your odds, so the encounter numbers drop.
These are estimates, not promises. Most games have no pity counter, meaning no guaranteed shiny no matter how many you hunt, so even Very Likely is not guaranteed: some hunters find one early, others go well past that point.

Camerupt Legends: Z-A Guide
Mega Evolution isn't available in Legends: Z-A, but Camerupt does have a Mega form in Gen 6-7 games (X/Y, ORAS, Sun/Moon). Mega Camerupt hits 560 BST.
In Legends: Z-A, use Camerupt as an attacker. Splits damage between physical and special. It's slow, so Trick Room or priority moves are key. Eruption is the primary attack.
For Legends: Z-A, run Modest on Camerupt. +Sp. Atk is what matters, and the -Attack cut doesn't hurt this set. Fits the attacker role.
Game Availability
Available since Ruby & Sapphire, Camerupt appears in 15 games spanning 7 generations. Beyond its original form, it gained a Mega form in Generation 6.
