So, are shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO a guaranteed catch? Grab your Poke Balls, and let’s find out together!
Short Answer: No, They’re Not Guaranteed
Catching shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO is exciting, but it’s not a guaranteed catch. Just like their non-shiny counterparts, you’ve got to have skill and a bit of luck!
When you encounter a shiny Pokemon, it’s like finding a rare gem. However, these gems can still slip through your fingers if you’re not careful. Using items like Razz Berries and aiming for that excellent throw increase your chances, but it’s not 100% certain.
