Niantic regularly adds new shiny Pokémon for Pokémon GO players to hunt down. The Pokémon that get the most consistent inclusion in the many events held throughout the year are starter Pokémon. They are among the most popular monsters in the franchise, so their shiny forms are naturally coveted. Fennekin, one of the more celebrated starters, has yet to receive its shiny debut in the mobile game.
Can you catch a shiny Fennekin in Pokémon GO?
During the May Community Day event, Fennekin made its shiny debut in Pokémon GO. Prior to the event, trainers were unable to encounter Fennekin in its shiny form. However, during the event, trainers had the thrilling opportunity to catch the adorable Pokémon in its sparkling alternate coloration.
What does Fennekin evolve into?
Fennekin evolves into Delphox, one of the most striking shiny Pokémon in the game. While this starter evolution is included in Pokémon GO, its shiny has also been notably absent since its debut. This Pokémon's shiny form is likely to be added in the same event that Fennekin's is included in.
