Pokemon Go Adds a New Shiny Pokemon for Halloween
Pokemon Go has one final trick for its Halloween event in the form of a new Shiny Pokemon.Multiple [...]
What Are Shiny Pokemon?
Shiny Pokemon are variant colored versions of normal Pokemon and are prized by many fans for their extreme rarity. In the main series Pokemon games, only 1 in every 4000 wild Pokemon are Shiny, although there are ways of increasing your odds significantly. Other than their alternate skin/fur tones, there's no difference between a Shiny Pokemon and a non-Shiny Pokemon.
Sableye has some pretty exclusive company in Pokemon Go. To date, only five other Pokemon have shiny versions in the game. Pokemon Go first added Shiny Magikarp and Shiny Gyarados during last spring's Water Festival, and then added Shiny Pichu, Pikachu, and Raichu over the summer.
We'll have to see if any other surprises are in store this Halloween in Pokemon Go!
