The best method to hunt for Alpha shiny Pokemon is surprisingly not through Outbreaks. What you’ll first need to do is figure out which Pokemon you want to shiny hunt for. Then, you need to find out where that Pokemon spawns as an Alpha in the Hisui region.
How to Maximize Your Shiny Odds for Alpha Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Arceus
Once you’ve figured out your Pokemon and the location it spawns as an Alpha, you can immediately begin shiny hunting for it; however, your shiny odds will be an unfavorable 1 in 4,096. You can drastically increase your odds to make your experience of shiny hunting much easier.
What you need to do is make sure, in your Pokedex, that you have reached Research Level 10 for the Pokemon that you are Alpha shiny hunting for. This alone will increase your shiny odds for that very Pokemon to 1 in 2048.25.
But you don’t want to stop here. Next, you need to make sure that you have completed every single task in that Pokemon’s Dex entry. Obtaining Species Research Perfect for a Pokemon will further increase your shiny odds to 1 in 1,024.3
We’re not done yet. If you want to have an even easier time, we’d advise that you get the Shiny Charm after beating the game, which will finally have your shiny odds for the desired Pokemon increased to a very impressive 1 in 585.57 chance.

Now that you’ve maximized your shiny odds, all you have to do is enter Jubilife Village and save your game. Then, leave the village and fly to the area where the desired Alpha Pokemon spawns. If you see it as a non-shiny, reset your game and repeat the process, just as you would when you shiny hunt.
Eventually, you will come across the shiny Alpha Pokemon that you’ve been hunting for. Save the game immediately and engage in battle to catch it. If you happen to fail, you can reset the game and have infinite tries at catching that elusive Alpha shiny that you’ve been looking forward to adding into your team!
