How to Get Shiny Mega Latios in Legends: Z-A
A shiny Latios becomes a shiny Mega Latios when it Mega Evolves, so these are the routes to Shiny Latios.
In Legends: Z-A, the only route to a Shiny Latios is Soft Reset, which reaches about 1 in 1,024 at full boosts. Tune your setup below to see live odds. Compare Shiny Latios odds across every game

Legends: Z-A Shiny Latios Calculator
1 MethodThe only route here is Soft Reset at full boosts, about 1 in 1,024 on each try. Tune it below.
Soft Reset: Save in front of a static, gift, or legendary encounter, then reset until it sparkles.
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.
