If you are a Meditite family fan, then I\u2019m sorry. Despite being a usually-powerful Mega Evolution<\/a>, Mega Medicham is\u2026 bad. There\u2019s no reason really to invest in it, as it\u2019s outranked by so<\/em> many other Pok\u00e9mon, both as a fighting-type and as a psychic-type. Of course, you should Mega Evolve one to register it to your Pok\u00e9dex (and the shiny is really nice), and you can use it to increase your fighting- and psychic-type candy gains, but it\u2019s not great for battling.<\/p>\n

\n

What is the shiny rate for Meditite in Pok\u00e9mon Go?<\/h2>\n

As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine<\/a>), the shiny rate for Pok\u00e9mon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Meditite is not a confirmed Pok\u00e9mon that gets a \u201cpermaboost\u201d (meaning that it\u2019s a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).<\/p>\n

\n

What can I do to attract more shiny Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n

Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pok\u00e9mon 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 Pok\u00e9mon rates.<\/p>\n

\n

Where can I find a list of available shiny Pok\u00e9mon?<\/h2>\n

LeekDuck keeps a list of currently available shiny Pok\u00e9mon<\/a>. It\u2019s a helpful visual guide that illustrates what all of the existing shiny Pok\u00e9mon look like.<\/p>\n
