### How to Catch the Shiny Mareep
Head into the Wild Zone and make your way to the section of fence blocked by two rocks, with a small pool of water just beyond. If needed, break the rocks to proceed. Once through, climb the ladder to the roof.
From there, turn right and climb onto the next roof. This is where you will find the Shiny Mareep. A cutscene will trigger, and the NPC will appear, happy just to have seen the Shiny Mareep. However, you are free to catch it.

When catching the Shiny Mareep, try using a Great Ball. Wait until the Pokémon is looking away before throwing the ball to increase your chances of a successful catch. This simple strategy worked well.
