How to get Chi-Yu
Chi-Yu never spawns on the normal map and cannot be picked as a starter. It only appears inside rift arenas — the 18 type-themed rifts that open during runs. Browse every rift-only species in the legendary Pokédex filter.
Shiny Chi-Yu
Like every one of the 966 playable species, Chi-Yu has a shiny variant: 1/4096 on wild encounters and 1/100 on gacha pulls. Full odds and duplicate protection on the shiny page.
Available moves
Chi-Yu can roll these moves from level-up cards during runs. Type-specific moves come from its dark/fire typing — every Pokémon can also roll the shared normal moves.
