Ever wondered what the stars mean in Pokemon GO? If you’re roaming the world, catching and battling virtual creatures on your phone, you might have noticed some stars popping up. Let’s clear up what they signify!

When you’re out and about, trying to become a Pokemon Master, you might see Pokemon with stars over their heads. What’s that all about?

The Short Answer to the Star Mystery

In Pokemon GO, stars are a way to show how special a Pokemon is. But not all stars mean the same thing. Let’s dive in!

Stars can signal a few cool things. One common reason is that the Pokemon is a Shiny Pokemon. Shiny Pokemons are very rare and have a different color than usual. If you see a Pokemon with stars sparkling around it, you’ve hit the jackpot!

More Than Just a Pretty Face

But wait, there’s more! Stars can also mean you’ve got a Pokemon with high potential. In the Pokemon GO world, that’s a big deal. It means your Pokemon could grow to be super strong and help you win battles.

Also, during special events, stars might pop up for other reasons, like showing that a Pokemon is part of the event. Always keep an eye out for those stars; they’re your ticket to finding something special.
