In Pokemon GO, Shiny Pokemon are always being looked for. They are rare, alternately coloured variants compared to normal Pokemon. I have been on the hunt in Pokemon GO for Shiny and have been lucky enough to get quite a few, so I am now looking to help you find a bunch of shinies yourself! There are a lot of Pokemon that have shiny varieties and it is rare to find these special versions, so let’s get into everything you need to know.
Shiny Pokemon were first put into Pokemon Go as part of the Water Festival Event, starting with Gyarados and Magikarp, however, there are new Shiny Pokemon added into the game with each event and Community Day.
You can place your Shiny Pokemon in gyms, as long as it is not a Legendary Pokemon (as those can’t go in gyms) and as long as there isn’t already a regular version of that Pokemon currently defending the gym. You can make your buddy a Shiny – allowing your friends on your friend list to see your cool Pokemon.
No. Shiny Pokemon have the same stats as their non-Shiny versions, as well as the same attacks and movesets. The only exception is that if you evolve specific shinies during their Community day event, they will get more exclusive moves as a part of the event.
Shiny Pokemon that are evolved will keep their Shiny status, so don’t be afraid to level them up and evolve them.

You can see all of your Shiny Pokemon by going into your Pokemon inventory, tapping the search bar, and selecting SHINY. You might have to hit more options before Shiny will appear, however.
Keep an eye out for community days to help you get these rare Pokemon and keep catching Pokemon in hopes of finding a Shiny!
It’s quite challenging to keep track of which Pokemon have Shiny variants in the game, so we have compiled a list. However, since there are a lot of Pokemon, the list is pretty huge. Therefore, we’ve decided to alphabetise it. Just click the big blue button below to check if you can find a Pokemon GO Shiny version of your favourite Pokemon.
