Obtain a shiny Charmander. There are multiple methods to doing so; among them are:- Have a game where you can get a Charmander, either as a starter or as a special Pokémon that you obtain, and soft reset (A+B+Start+Select on a Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance, and L+R+Start+Select on a DS or 3DS) until you get a shiny Charmander.
- Breed for one. The easiest method is through the Masuda method, which gives you a higher chance of breeding a shiny Pokémon if the two Pokémon you breed with come from different countries.
- (for X and Y) Find a Friend Safari with Charmander in it and go into it. Encounter Pokémon until you find a shiny Charmander.
- Find one on the GTS and trade for it.

- QuestionHow do I get a shiny Charizard in Pokemon Ultra Sun?
Community AnswerYou could either trade (using the GTS, online connection, or by asking a friend) or use the Pokébank to transfer it from another game. - QuestionHow to catch shiny Charmander?
Gavin YunCommunity AnswerYou have to breed to get a shiny Charmander. The best method for this, the Masada method, involves breeding two Pokémon, which are different languages. So either breed two Charmanders from different languages, breed a female Charmander from one language with a Pokémon from the same egg group with another language, or breed a Charmander with a Ditto that are from different languages. With the Shiny Charm, your odds are even higher.
