An event will soon be held in Japan by Pokémon GO. Many players are hoping that this event will bring Shiny Vulpix, as it revolves a lot around the Fire Pokémon.
What kind of event is this? This event aims to boost tourism in the Japanese prefecture of Hokkaido. The organizers are promoting their discounted bus tickets with the Pokémon Vulpix.
In Pokémon GO, you will catch more Vulpix there and a small event will take place around the Pokémon.
Globally, players are hoping that this event will bring Shiny Vulpix and that it can be caught worldwide.
Players hope for Shiny Vulpix – Could it come?
How likely is the release of Shiny? This event is not an official one from Niantic, like the GO Fest, but a paid action from the organizer. It is questionable whether something new will actually come to the game at such an event.
From the past, we know that Niantic has also introduced Shinys through Japanese events. For example, Shiny Sandan was introduced in Pokémon GO when an event took place in the sand dunes of Tottori, Japan.
However, there have already been various events in Japan with other Pokémon that did not come as Shiny afterwards. This was the case with Chansey and Psyduck, for example.
When does the event take place? From September 21 to 29, everything will revolve around Vulpix in the Japanese prefecture.
What do players say about the event? Globally, players hope for a new Shiny from the event. A user named wu100 says: “Let’s hope for Shiny Vulpix.” He receives a lot of support. Generally, the desire for Shiny Vulpix is strong.
After all, Vulpix is one of the few Pokémon from the 1st generation, which is still not available as a Shiny in the game. Vulpix also has an Alolan version, which can also be hatched as Shiny from eggs, or currently appears in the wild.
So it is not far-fetched that Vulpix is one of the next Pokémon to be introduced as Shiny. Whether it actually happens at the event in Japan remains questionable.
Currently, you can also hatch new Shinys. We tell you how likely it is:
