More specifically, a new glitch has been discovered that Game Freak and Nintendo have yet to fix, and considering how slow Game Freak and Nintendo are to patch the game, let alone react, it may be a while before this exploit is fixed. Until it is, Pokemon Legends: Z-A can clone their shinies at will.
How It Works
The glitch was discovered, or at least spread by, Austin John Plays. To begin the process, you will want to make the Shiny Pokemon you want to go aggro, and then lead it far away until it stops being aggro. When this happens, the Pokemon will automatically start to return to its spawn location. Once this happens, save the game because what this does is save the Pokemon to its current location, overriding its programming to return to its spawn location. From here, you will need to restart the game by turning it off and then on. When you load back up the game, the Pokemon will be right where you left them. If so, it worked, and you will want to go beyond its spawn radius. Now, save the game again, exit to menu, and then start it back up. Once booted back in, the Pokemon will still be right there, but now it should also be at its original location.
