Unleash the Rarity: Can Wobbuffet Get a Shiny Form in Pokémon Go?
Shiny Wobbuffet in Pokémon Go: Where to Find and What’s the Rate?
The patient Pokémon from Johto, Wobbuffet, is now in the wild, and we’re excited to share where you can find it in Pokémon Go.
Wobbuffet in the Wild
While Wobbuffet and its evolution Wynaut might not see much action in PvP or PvE battles, there’s a charming aspect to these Pokémon that’s definitely worth exploring: their shiny forms. With a chance to encounter them in the wild, spotting a pink shiny Wobbuffet is a thrill!
Some interesting facts: did you know that female Wobbuffet are adorned with lipstick, whereas males aren’t? Let’s dive into the photos below and take a peek.
### Shiny Rate and Other Fun Facts
As an old research finding by The Silph Road (courtesy of Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for most Pokémon in regular circumstances stands at approximately one in 500. For Wobbuffet specifically, we don’t see any hints of a ‘permaboost’ rarity, making it a treat to discover.
### Can I Attract More Shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately, shiny catches are largely based on chance, with no particular method or item to manipulate the chances. Niantic does, however, occasionally grant boosts during community events or legendary raids – so be sure to keep an eye on those!
If you’re on the lookout for the latest shiny list, there isn’t an official compiled list, as it relies on community data. Still, you might find user-generated lists or share your own experiences with others. Happy hunting!
