How to get Shiny Marill in Pokemon Go

Get ready, Shiny Marill is back in town!

A lot of trainers will be asking if Marill be shiny in Pokemon Go, and the answer is yes!

Throughout the Marill Limited Time Research event, you’ll be able to score shiny Marills during your research encounters. While the spawn rate is still a lot less than the normal variant, you’ll hopefully be able to snag a few as you work through the tasks.

Additionally, Marill’s Spotlight Hour takes place on May 25 from 6PM – 7PM local time. Spotlight Hours see an increased spawn rate of both the normal and shiny variants, so if you miss out during the challenge don’t worry! You’ve still got a chance!

So you’ve caught loads of Marills, what next?

How to get Azumarill in Pokemon Go

Thankfully getting an Azumarill in Pokemon Go is a pretty easy task, made even easier by the amount of Marill candy you’ll be hoarding during this event.

Marill evolves into Azumarill by using only 25 candy, so if you snag a decent amount of Marill you’ll have more than enough.

Additionally, if you’re reading this after the event, you can still used Rainy Lure Modules to increase your chance of water-type spawns. For all the info, check our our Rainy Lure breakdown.
