Pokemon GO is Adding More Shiny Pokemon This Summer

Some of the most sought-after creatures in Pokemon GO are shiny Pokemon, which are extremely rare, palette-swapped variants of Pokemon that are already in the game. Since introducing shiny Magikarp to the game, Niantic has slowly been releasing more shiny Pokemon, with three more set to be added this summer.

Throughout the summer, Niantic will release shiny variants of Roselia, Plusle, and Minun in Pokemon GO. The release of these shiny Pokemon will coincide with special live events that Niantic is hosting this summer, with shiny Roselia appearing when the Safari Zone event goes live in Dortmund, Germany on June 30, and shiny Plusle and shiny Minun making their debut when Pokemon GO Fest kicks off on July 14.

Not only are these shiny Pokemon being added alongside these Pokemon GO live events, but their spawn rates will be increased as well. This means players may have their best shot at catching these shiny Pokemon during these events, so anyone interested should plan on doing some Pokemon catching those days.
