In Pokémon GO, first trainers have captured Shiny Teddiursa. However, the shiny version is not available to everyone. What is behind this?
This is what players are showing now: On reddit, images of Shiny Teddiursa have appeared. They come from players who were supposed to be at the Safari Zone in St. Louis this weekend and had a ticket.
However, it seems that the shiny is not yet globally available. We will tell you when it could arrive.
Shiny Teddiursa this weekend?
Why there is Shiny Teddiursa: The Pokémon was one of the highlights for the Safari Zone in St. Louis. The event was supposed to take place this weekend, but it was canceled due to the coronavirus.
All players who had purchased a ticket, however, have special event spawns this weekend. So everything they would have caught in St. Louis is now available to them in their locality, but only for the respective account with a ticket.
Thus, it is that the first players have caught Shiny Teddiursa. So far, there are only reports from those who have caught such players. Other trainers around the world cannot catch Teddiursa as shiny yet.
When could Shiny Teddiursa come worldwide? There are several theories about this. So far, it has always been the case with Safari Zones that the new shiny appears worldwide directly on the same weekend. So it is quite possible that we will encounter Shiny Teddiursa in a few hours as well.
However, the Safari Zone in St. Louis is also expected to get a replacement date. Therefore, it is also possible that we will have to wait until the end of the alternative date for Shiny Teddiursa to appear worldwide.
Until then, you can take advantage of the Psycho event and hunt for shinies there.
Be aware that there is currently a danger of infecting yourself and others with the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures to ensure that you can also play Pokémon GO from home.
