In Pokémon GO this weekend Shiny Pottrott is appearing more frequently. The small event is already running and you can find Pottrott everywhere in the wild and in raids.
How long does the event last? The increased spawns of Pottrott are limited to this weekend only. Tomorrow, April 21 at 10 PM, the small event ends.
In addition to Pottrott, you can now also find Lapras as Shiny. However, this Pokémon does not appear more frequently in the wild.
Shiny Pottrott and Lapras in Pokémon GO
Why are these Shinies available now? This is connected to the Safari Zone in Singapore. This event is currently taking place in the Asian city and provided players with both Shinies already on Thursday.
Now Shiny Pottrott and Lapras have been released worldwide. Just like in the Safari Zone, a Shiny spawns more frequently all weekend long worldwide.
How do I find Shiny Pottrott? You can really find this Pokémon everywhere in the wild. The shiny rate of Pottrott is still widely discussed, but it seems that it is increased again. So you have better chances of getting this Shiny than other shiny Pokémon in the wild.
Pottrott also appears in raids. It is a Level 3 raid, but you cannot defeat Pottrott alone.
How do I find Shiny Lapras? The shiny rate of Lapras in the wild is not increased. So far, only a few players have reported finding a shiny Lapras, which is why the shiny rate cannot really be determined.
You can increase your chances of finding Shiny Lapras by completing the quest “Win 5 Gym Battles.” This will reward you with a Lapras, which can also be Shiny.
That’s why you should take advantage of the weekend: If you really want a Shiny Pottrott, you should take advantage of this weekend, as Pottrott is rather rare outside of events.
You won’t have such a good chance for Shiny Pottrott anytime soon again.
Shiny Meltan is returning to Pokémon GO. We have all the info for you:
