In Pokémon GO you can find Felino on every corner and with a bit of luck its Shiny. The Team Rocket grunts and their attackers have changed as well. What is happening in the game right now?
This has changed: Since the night of Friday, December 11, 2020, surprisingly more Felino appear in the wilds of Pokémon GO. To the great delight of numerous trainers, it is even possible to catch the Shiny version of Felino with a bit of luck.
These changes happened around the same time as the small Rocket event that Niantic announced at the start of the Game Awards.
Felino Everywhere – Also as Shiny
New rotation among the grunts: If you fight against the Team Rocket grunts now, they most likely have a Crypto-Felino with them. This is new.
Additionally, the members of Team GO Rocket are currently appearing significantly more frequently than before. This is due to the current Rocket event. Now is a good time to teach your Crypto-Pokémon other moves than Frustration. You should definitely take this opportunity, as it will only last until Saturday morning at 01:00.
Shiny Felino: Many trainers are now wondering what Shiny Felino and its evolution Morlord look like. You can see them in the following graphic:
How many have been caught already? On Twitter, the Pokémon GO team wrote at around 01:30 on Friday morning that Shiny Felino is now catchable in the game. However, it must have come into the game a little earlier for the counting to add up.
Approximately two and a half to three hours later, the Game Awards team tweeted that trainers had already caught 48.7 million Felino during that time. That would have been more than 285,000 Felino per minute.
The Pokémon GO team can apparently keep track live of how many and which Pokémon trainers are currently catching and analyze that precisely.
The next big event in Pokémon GO is already approaching. The Community Day in December lasts over 2 days and brings increased Shiny chances. How do you like the events this month? Are they to your liking or do you think certain contents are still missing?
