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

Mankey and Primeape can both be shiny. They\u2019re probably worth grabbing with Annihilape potentially on the horizon, since that evolution was introduced in <\/em>Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em><\/a>. Early Paldean Pok\u00e9mon have made their debuts in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> already, so it wouldn\u2019t be too surprising if Annihilape joined the roster soon. Start hoarding that candy now!<\/p>\n

What is the shiny rate for Mankey in Pok\u00e9mon Go?<\/strong><\/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. Mankey 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

What can I do to attract more shiny Pok\u00e9mon?<\/strong><\/h3>\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

Where can I find a list of available shiny Pok\u00e9mon?<\/strong><\/h3>\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
