If you’re a fan of the Pokémon Eevee, you’ll be excited to know that you can find it in the wild in Pokémon Go and that it can even be shiny!
Eevee is notoriously tricky to evolve in Pokémon Go, especially if you’re aiming for a specific evolution. The name tricks can only take you so far, and certain evolutions require more specific methods, such as using a Glacial Lure for Glaceon. And if you’re hoping for a shiny Vaporeon, well, good luck!
What is the shiny rate for Eevee in Pokémon Go?
According to research by The Silph Road, the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. While Eevee doesn’t have a confirmed boosted shiny rate, it’s still possible to encounter a shiny version.
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Unfortunately, not much can be done to increase your chances of encountering a shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic and are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or in Legendary Raids.
Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck maintains a helpful visual guide illustrating all of the existing shiny Pokémon, so you can keep track of which ones are available in the game.
