Last updated
Have you ever wondered how to snag yourself more shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO? You’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive into the sparkling world of shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO and get you catching more than ever before.
Your Shortcut to Shiny Success
The simplest answer to catching more shiny Pokemon is to play during special events and use lures and incense to attract Pokemon. Shiny Pokemon appear at random, but these tips increase your chances.
Firstly, participating in Pokemon GO’s frequent events, like Community Days or special holiday events, dramatically increases your chances of encountering shiny Pokemon. These events often feature specific Pokemon with boosted shiny rates. So, mark your calendar!
Getting Strategic with Shiny Hunting
Another strategy is to use items like lures and incense to increase the number of Pokemon encounters you have. More encounters mean more chances to find a shiny. Also, always check if a Pokemon has a shiny version available in the game before you spend hours hunting for one that doesn’t exist yet.
Lastly, team up with friends for raids and battles. Not only is it more fun, but some shiny Pokemon are only available through raid battles. Plus, battling with friends increases your chances of encountering shinies.
