How do you get Shiny Arcapex in Evomon?

Farm the Thunder Cliffs Lv 200 Arcapex boss: defeat it, successfully catch it, and repeat until a Shiny Arcapex Egg drops. The shiny egg hatches a guaranteed shiny. There is no field shiny pity on this boss.

Does Arcapex have shiny pity?

No — community guides consistently list the big boss Evomon, including the Thunder Cliffs Arcapex, as having no shiny pity. Shiny eggs from repeated successful catches are the only route.

Why am I not getting Arcapex eggs?

Eggs only roll on successful captures, not knockouts. If your throws keep failing, equip the Catch Master suit (+10% capture success, +1 attempt) so each boss clear actually converts into an egg chance.

Should I use a Prismatic Ball on the Shiny Arcapex Egg?

The shiny is guaranteed either way. Use a Prismatic Ball before hatching only if you also want the Shiny Prismatic version — community creators rate boss Shiny Prismatics as the top flex in the game.

Can I hunt Shiny Arcub and evolve it instead?

Community guides group the Arcapex line with boss lines that lack field shiny pity, so the egg farm is the documented route. Verify on a live Arcub encounter in your client — if no pity counter displays, do not plan a pity grind.

Shiny Arcapex Evomon Guide — No Pity, Farm the Shiny Egg

Shiny Arcapex has no field shiny pity — the route is catching the Thunder Cliffs Lv 200 boss repeatedly until a shiny Arcapex egg drops. Catch Master suit, hatch steps, and Prismatic Ball timing.

Quick answer

Shiny Arcapex has no field shiny pity. Community guides (ImSoaren, 2kane Unleashed) agree the route is the shiny egg: defeat the Thunder Cliffs Lv 200 Arcapex boss, successfully catch it — eggs only roll on catches, not KOs — and repeat until a Shiny Arcapex Egg drops. A shiny egg hatches a guaranteed shiny. Wear the Catch Master suit (+10% capture success, +1 capture attempt) so failed throws do not waste whole boss cycles, and select a Prismatic Ball before hatching if you want the Shiny Prismatic version.

Why you cannot pity-hunt Shiny Arcapex

Regular wild Evomon show shiny odds and a pity counter bottom-left in combat — catch enough and a shiny is guaranteed. Boss Arcapex is the exception. ImSoaren's shiny hunting guide calls out the two big boss Evomon — the flying king at Flying Territory and the Thunder Cliffs electric king (Arcapex) — as having no shiny pity: "the only way to get a shiny version of this Evomon is getting a shiny egg."

That flips the whole hunt. Instead of grinding encounters toward a guaranteed number, you are farming catches for an egg drop, then hoping the egg rolls shiny. Our Shiny Egg Chance post covers why the egg roll — not a field roll — is the bottleneck on boss lines like this.

Set expectations

No pity means no guarantee. 2kane Unleashed pulled two shiny boss eggs in one recorded session; other players farm far longer. The only number you control is catches per hour.

The Shiny Arcapex farm loop

Arcapex sits at the top of Thunder Cliffs as a Lv 200 boss on our Map Zones sheet. Buhamon's June 2026 priority guide flags it as extremely time-consuming to solo — bring a party or an endgame team with answers to Electric (check the Type Chart before you queue up a long session).

The loop community videos show is simple but strict: every step only counts if the catch lands.

Defeat the boss — Lv 200, high HP; slow clears are the real cost of this farm.
Catch it — successfully — 2kane Unleashed: "you need to capture the Evomon to actually get the shiny eggs." Failed throws burn the entire cycle.
Check the egg — catches can drop an Arcapex egg; the rare outcome is a Shiny Arcapex Egg.
Repeat — no counter is ticking toward a guarantee, so consistency of catches is everything.

Catch Master suit: the one gear check

Because the whole farm dies on a failed throw, 2kane Unleashed's shiny egg video leans on the Catch Master suit: +10% capture success rate and +1 capture attempt (three tries per cycle instead of two). On a boss you spent minutes clearing, that extra attempt is the difference between a wasted cycle and an egg roll.

Ball choice on the boss catch itself is about securing the capture, not shiny odds — the shiny decision happens later at the egg. Save premium balls for where they change outcomes.

Hatching: where the Prismatic Ball comes in

A Shiny Arcapex Egg hatches a guaranteed shiny — you do not need anything extra for the shiny itself. The optional upgrade: Buhamon recommends spending a Prismatic Ball on boss shiny eggs specifically, because Shiny Prismatic boss mons are "the rarest and highest flex Evomon in the game right now." Select the Prismatic Ball on the hatch UI before confirming Hatch — hatching plain gives a normal shiny only.

Full chamber walkthrough (where the hatch UI hides, timers per egg type) is on How to Hatch Eggs.

Prismatic Ball timing

The ball must be selected before you press Hatch. There is no way to add the Prismatic layer after a shiny egg has already hatched.

What about Shiny Arcub?

Plenty of searches ask for shiny Arcub — the base form on the Funder Cliff boss route that evolves into Arcapex. Community guides group the Arcapex line with the boss lines that lack field shiny pity, which is why the egg route dominates the discussion. Before planning an Arcub pity grind, check the bottom-left odds panel on a live Arcub encounter in your client: if no pity counter shows for it, the boss egg farm above is the realistic path.

If you mainly want the line for combat rather than the shiny flex, a strong normal Arcub evolved into Arcapex is still one of the game's best Electric AOE clears — see the Arcapex dex page for stats and team fit.

Quick checklist before an Arcapex session

Team clears the Lv 200 Thunder Cliffs boss reliably — solo attempts without answers to Electric waste hours.
Catch Master suit equipped (+10% success, +1 attempt).
Ball stock deep enough for repeated boss catches — top up via codes.
One Prismatic Ball reserved in case the shiny egg drops.
Patience calibrated: this is an RNG egg farm, not a pity countdown.
