Shiny Celesteela in Pokémon GO

Celesteela cannot be shiny in Pokémon GO at the time of writing. This is likely to change in the future, but like all other Ultra Beasts that have been added to the game, the shiny version is notably absent. Players should keep an eye out for future events and celebrations, as this is when the shiny form will likely debut.
