The new event in Pokémon GO fulfills the players’ shiny wish. Because trainers now have the chance to get Shiny Groudon.
What happened? Niantic announced the Hoenn event and caused quite a stir. They also announced Kyogre and Groudon as new raid bosses. Players hoped that this would also bring the shiny form of Groudon into the game.
The hopes were rewarded. First players confirm the shiny form of the Pokémon. The shiny wish of the players has been fulfilled.
That’s why players hoped for Shiny Groudon
That’s why hopes were high: That Shiny Groudon would come into the game along with the event was not far-fetched. A few months ago, Niantic implemented the shiny form of Kyogre in raids.
So it was obvious that Shiny Groudon would come into the game and this speculation has now been confirmed.
This is what Shiny Groudon looks like: The shiny form of the legendary Pokémon is yellow-green and is easily recognizable by the players.
How often is Shiny Groudon? The analysts from TheSilphRoad found out some time ago during a test that the chance of getting a shiny Pokémon from raids is about 1:19. So in every 19th raid, a shiny is supposed to be waiting for you, at least in theory.
Note this about Shinys: If you encounter a legendary shiny in the raids, then use the nanab berry. Shiny Groudon and Shiny Kyogre have a 100% catch chance.
Are there any other new Shinys in the event? As already announced, you can now also find Shiny Zigzagoon and Shiny Swablu in the wild.
You should take advantage of the event for these Shinys, as they are more frequently found during the event period.
In the new event, you also get the chance to obtain Capsakid with the move Leaf Tornado. We’ll tell you how good this move is:
