The Shiny Leaf

The Shiny Leaf is a very rare item that your Pokémon can find. This item is not a standard item or accessory and is incredibly unique in that your Pokémon is seen with it only on it's status screen, as demonstrated in this picture. However, finding it and its use are very complicated matters.


Finding the Shiny Leaf

The Shiny Leaf is discovered by talking to your partner Pokémon while in a bit of grass. However, the areas in which your Pokémon can find the Shiny Leaf are few and far between. The location depends solely upon your Pokémon's nature and it can be one of several areas so you'll need to keep checking your Pokémon. It's not guaranteed that you shall find it even if you're in the right area. If you have found it, your Pokémon will start with an Exclamation Mark, do a dance swaying from right to left and then have a green musical note over its head. Your character then immediatelly attaches the Shiny Leaf to the Pokémon. As you get more Shiny Leaves, the likelihood of your Pokémon finding one quickly decreases

The known locations are as follows. We'll add more as we get them:

The Reward

So, now you have a Shiny Leaf, what do you do? The answer is simple. If you go see Lyra/Ethan in New Bark Town, she will tell you about the Shiny Leaves and state that she'd like to see you obtain 5 of them. Come back with 5 on one Pokémon, and she will reward you with a Star for your Trainer Card and convert the 5 leaves into a leaf crown for your Pokémon.
