Jigglypuff<\/strong>, the balloon Pok\u00e9mon from Kanto, can be found in the wild in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em><\/a>. Yes, Jigglypuff can be shiny in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s actually pretty hard to differentiate shiny Jigglypuff from its normal form, so make sure to look for the sparkles and the shiny icon.<\/p>\n

\n

What is the shiny rate for Jigglypuff 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. Jigglypuff 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

Igglybuff is <\/em>shiny boosted, but you can really only get those from hatching eggs and they\u2019re not always in the egg pool. (Leek Duck<\/a> has a solid list of what\u2019s actively in eggs currently.)<\/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

Leek Duck 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
