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
