What are Shiny Pokemon?

Shiny Pokemon are variants of Pokemon that players will run into from time to time in Pokemon games. These variants differ as they are rarely found by players, this is because they are special forms that players specifically hunt for within new games due to their rare value.

Where to find Shiny Pokemon in Pokemon Go

In traditional Pokemon games, players encounter these Shinies during instances in the world, in areas such as grass, or in a cave. But, in Go, there are other ways players can find these rare variants.

As well, Niantic has not added all shiny Pokemon into the game, as there are currently no shiny Pokemon from Sword and Shield. But, we can assume they will be rolling out more within the near future.

  • Wild encounters
  • Raid Boss encounters
  • Special Research breakthroughs
  • Research Task rewards
  • Event-limited Pokemon

How to catch and find shiny Bunnelby

First introduced in Pokemon X and Y, Bunnelby is one of the more elusive Pokemon within the wild. To find it within Go, players may encounter it in certain wild areas, or by hatching 2KM eggs.

Back during the first week of April, from the 4th-8th Bunnelby had an increased spawn rate because it was a featured Pokemon during the Spring to Spring event. Players can also take advantage of using lures near Pokestops; as this may increase the spawn rate around you; but you may not get so lucky when doing this method.
