Togedemaru, the roly-poly Pokémon from Alola, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. Yes, Togedemaru can be shiny in Pokémon Go!
Togedemaru’s shiny form was launched alongside the “Strength of Steel” event, as part of the Ultra Unlock Part 2 for 2024. It doesn’t evolve and is the resident Pika-clone of its region (Alola) — so yes, it sure is cute.
What is the shiny rate for Togedemaru in Pokémon Go?
There’s currently not enough data about Togedemaru’s shiny rate to tell if it’s permaboosted or not.
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokémon rates.
Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pokémon. It’s a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pokémon look like.
