Shiny Pokemon are Now in Pokemon GO!

Shiny Pokémon are now part of the Pokémon GO madness! Congratulations to everyone who gets a Shiny on Day 1, it’s crazy luck!

The original leak said the following: “Did you know that if you evolve a Shiny Pokémon like this Magikarp, the evolved Pokémon will also be Shiny?” and now it has finally happened!

Before you start your hunt, make sure you visit our ⭐ Pokémon GO Shiny Chart ⭐ that shows all Shiny variants in Generation I and II. Some Shiny variants are hard to spot, while others are quite obvious.
