Technical Breakdown

Ralts, the Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon, debuted with a shiny variant in the third generation games, Ruby and Sapphire. In Sword and Shield, shiny Ralts retains its distinctive coloration, exhibiting a vibrant green body instead of the usual blue. This alteration extends to its evolved forms, Kirlia and Gallade. Additionally, the shiny form of Ralts has a lower encounter rate compared to its standard counterpart.
