Nintendo surprised everyone when it announced Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX during its Pokemon Direct which kicked off 2020. The remake gives the original games a nifty visual overhaul, for sure, but is there anything new being added into the game? Are there any Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX Shiny Pokemon, for example? In this guide, we’ll let you in on whether there are Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX shinies or not. Who doesn’t like to add a little more color to their Pokemon adventures?

Along with announcing the game, Nintendo also released a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX demo through the Switch eShop. This has confirmed to people that some changes have been made over the original game, at least. Including shinies. The original Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games didn’t feature shiny Pokemon, but this remake does. There are Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX Shiny Pokemon.
Thanks to RoboPup on Reddit, we know that Shiny Pokemon are in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX. As you can see in the image above from the Redditor, the Friend Bow is seemingly required to find and recruit Shiny Pokemon in the remake. Unfortunately, as of writing, we are unaware of how you can get hold of the Friend Bow. We’re also unsure of how the item works, other than that you’ll need to equip it to your team leader to find and recruit shinies.
We’ll update this guide (or write another) when we know more about the Friend Bow, including its location, how to get it, and exactly what it does. It will prove to be a useful item, at least. Not only will you presumably need it to add shiny Pokemon to your team, but it will also make it more likely that Pokemon will join you. For now, though, it’s nice knowing that shiny Pokemon exist within Pokemon Mystery Dungeon DX.
