Ever wondered which shiny Pokémon holds the title for being the rarest catch in Pokemon GO? Let’s unveil the champion of rarity in the shiny Pokémon universe!
In the world of Pokemon GO, catching a shiny Pokémon is like finding a hidden treasure. But one shiny Pokémon stands out as the ultimate gem. So, what’s the rarest shiny of them all?
The Rarest Shiny Pokémon Revealed
Among the glittering crowd of shiny Pokémon, Shiny Detective Pikachu takes the crown. Yes, you heard it right! This adorable, cap-wearing version of Pikachu only made a brief appearance and has not been available since its debut.
Shiny Detective Pikachu was introduced as part of a special event, celebrating the release of the “Pokémon Detective Pikachu” movie. The catch? This shiny wasn’t up for grabs through the usual means. While most shinies appear in the wild or through raids, Shiny Detective Pikachu could only grace your game by photo bombing random snapshots, making it a marvelously rare find.
