Shiny Darumaka has joined the roster of Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can find and capture their very own. Pokemon Go is easily the most forgiving Pokemon title when it comes to handing out Shiny Pokemon. These alternate color variations are typically extremely rare in mainline Pokemon titles but this mobile title continues to host a slew of events throughout the year centered around encountering Shiny Pokemon. This time around, Pokemon Go is celebrating its 5th anniversary since its official release and is celebrating in a big way with tons of new content. This guide will show players how they can get their hands on a Shiny Darumaka.
This Shiny Pokemon was added to the roster as part of the game’s 5th anniversary. Pokemon Go took the world by storm when it was released back in 2016. Players would spend hours outside, running across dangerous highways, exploring their cities and suburbs in order to capture them all. The Summer of 2016 had a magical aura around it where the world felt true peace for an extremely long time. As the hype has died down, many players have stuck with it and the game continues to be incredibly profitable for Niantic and the Pokemon Company. Now for its 5th anniversary this July, players will be able to add the Unova Pokemon, Darumaka, to their Shiny collection. Here are all the different ways for players to find a Shiny Darumaka.
How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Darumaka in Pokemon Go
It’s important to mention that finding any Shiny Pokemon is still pretty difficult. It’s completely up to chance if it makes an appearance. Here are all the different ways players can potentially encounter it.
- In The Wild: Darumaka has been made one of the Pokemon to spawn more frequently as part of the 5th-anniversary event. Make sure to tap every Darumaka the appears on the map. Alternatively, players can use Lure Modules or Incenses to increase the spawn rate of all Pokemon in the area.
- Raid Battles: Darumaka will appear in 1-star raids during this event. Make sure to complete as many of these as possible. Finding Shiny Pokemon is much easier when participating in raid battles. Although, players might need to dip into Remote or Premium raid passes if they want a chance at finding one.
Overall, it’s completely luck-based if a Shiny Darumaka will make an appearance. It’s a bit more washed out when compared to the original and will sparkle upon encountering. Good luck, Shiny Hunters.
