Last updated
Have you ever wandered around in Pokemon GO, hoping to catch that elusive, shiny Squirtle? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into just how rare a shiny Squirtle is in the game.
Everyone playing Pokemon GO has one dream: catching shiny versions of their favorite Pokemons. Shiny Squirtle, with its different color palette, is certainly a sought-after catch. But how often do players encounter it?
The Rarity of Shiny Squirtle
Shiny Squirtle is quite rare in the world of Pokemon GO. While Niantic, the developer, doesn’t release specific odds, players estimate the chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon in the wild are about 1 in 450. During special events, however, these odds can improve significantly.
It’s important to note that shiny Squirtles don’t have better stats than their regular counterparts; they’re just a different color. This rarity makes them highly coveted as collector’s items or as a way to show off in battles against friends or in gyms.
