What Are the Shiny Odds in Pokemon GO?

Ever wondered about your chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO? Let’s dive into the shiny odds in this popular mobile game.

Finding a shiny Pokemon in Pokemon GO is always exciting, but what are the odds of actually encountering one? We’ve got the scoop.

Discovering Shiny Pokemon Odds

The base shiny rate in Pokemon GO often hovers around 1 in 500. However, this rate can vary significantly depending on the event or the specific Pokemon.

During special events like Community Days or specific promotions, Niantic boosts these odds, sometimes up to 1 in 25 for featured Pokemon. This means you’re far more likely to encounter a shiny during these times.

Boost Your Chances of Catching a Shiny

To increase your shiny encounter rate, participate in as many events as possible. Keep an eye on Niantic’s announcements for events featuring increased shiny rates.

Also, tapping on every Pokemon you see increases your chances. The more you encounter, the better your odds of finding that glittering, shiny Pokemon.
