How to Capture Shiny Pokémon During Go Fest 2022
As shown above, there be different shiny Pokémon that will appear in different rotating habitat hours. All participants will have a fair chance of encountering a shiny Pokémon every once and a while, but, trainers who purchased the event tickets will be getting a boosted chance. Who knows, if luck finds you well, you might even encounter all of them! What are the odds of that? One in a million? >.<
Trainer Tips:
- Aside from the normal wide Pokémon interaction, trainers are also advised to use an “incense” to lure these Pokémon to your location. So, prepare yourself as well as your Poke balls because you definitely do not want to run out of them during the event.
- Stock up some Berries (Razz, Nanab, and Pinap) in your pocket. These berries tend to make Pokémon easier to catch as well as give you some unexpected rewards. June
