Since Pokémon Gold and Silver on the GameBoy Color, Pokémon Trainers were introduced to a new type of Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon were shown as the same old Pokémon, but with a twist, and that’s it, a change in color. Even though it’s just an aesthetic change, owning one of these Pokémon is something special.
Pokémon Go has brought many of the mainline Pokémon mechanics to its mobile adventure, and of course, Shiny Pokémon has been retained as a key element of the game. In this guide, we will show you all the Pokémon that can be Shiny.
How many Pokémon can be shiny in Pokémon Go? Pokémon Go has added along the years a lot of the Pokémon that had appeared in almost all the Pokémon Regions during 9 generations of games. As you could expect, the list is huge since almost all Pokémon on Pokémon GO can be shiny. Yet, let us present you this list of all these Pokémon, considering that some special Pokémon are removed from the list (like all the special Pikachu):

Which Pokémon is the rarest to be Shiny? While Shiny Pokémon are rare Pokémon at their core, some are more difficult to find. This is due to many factors, ranging from Pokémon found in the wild to a special event. These are the ratios for each case:
Case Ratio Effect Wild Ratio 1 / 450 The normal Shiny Ratio Boosted Ratio 1 / 60 Some Pokémon have a better change for being Shiny Event Ratio 1 / 25 or 1 / 130 This depends if it’s either Community Day Pokémon or Global Event Pokémon Raid Ratio 1 / 10 o r1 / 20 or 1 / 60 Legendary Pokémon ratio increases when on raids Egg Ratio 1 / 60 Baby Pokémon are easier being shiny thru eggs Research Ratio 1 / 10 or 1 / 80 Some Pokémon increases their ratio depending on Research Events Meltan Ratio 1 / 60 Mystery Box can help on the Meltan Shiny Ratio Shadow Ratio 1 / 100 Some Shadow Pokémon are easier to be shiny Ditto Ratio 1 / 64 Rule of thumb, if the Pokémon is Shiny it won’t be Ditto
