Pokémon Go: Can Spritzee and Aromatisse be shiny? Rates and how to get

Shiny Pokémon are rare versions of Pokémon in Pokémon Go that have modified looks. They are called shiny because they generally add a slight sheen to their color palette, making them stand out more than the normal versions. For Spritzee and Armoatisse, the difference is that the shiny versions have purple fur rather than the pink fur on the normal versions.

Shiny Spritzee and Shiny Aromatisse

Apart from the Pokémon that don't have shiny versions in the game, every Pokémon has a base shiny rate that tells you how often you'll see its shiny version. Spritzee is a standard Pokémon with no shiny rate boost, so it follows the standard shiny rate of 1 in 500 (about 0.20 percent). So, for every 500 Spritzee you catch, you'll probably only get one shiny version.

Amartisse is an incredibly rare encounter in the wild, so the chances of seeing a shiny version in the wild are essentially zero. For the vast majority of people, the only way to get one is to catch a shiny Spritzee and evolve it.

How to get a shiny Spritzee

There is no way to force a shiny version of a Pokémon to appear. Instead, you must simply play the game and hope to run into one. However, players can use a few tricks to make it easier to get one.

• Play during events that feature Spritzee - The upcoming Spotlight Hour that features this Pokémon will be hosted on Feb. 8, 2022. Spotlight Hours don't boost the shiny rate for Pokémon, but they dramatically increase the encounter rate for them in the wild. More Spritzee encounters means more chances for one of them to be shiny. Use Lures and Incense to attract even more Spritzee to you during the Spotlight Hour.
• Find Spritzee Nests - Similar to Spotlight Hours, Nests don't increase the odds of finding a Shiny Spritzee. Instead, they increase the number of encounters. Spotlight Hours are preferable, but Nests are the next best thing, assuming there's one nearby. Use The Silph Road's Nest Atlas to find a Spritzee nest near your location.
