Can Makuhita be shiny in Pokémon Go?

Makuhita: The Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go

One of the well-known Pokémon from Hoenn, Makuhita, can be found in the wild in Pokémon Go. What’s even more exciting is that Makuhita can appear as a shiny variant in the game!

Although Hariyama was once a significant fighting-type Pokémon in the meta, it has been overshadowed by other powerful Pokémon in recent times. Shadow Hariyama can still be a formidable choice, so if you have a shadow Makuhita, it might be worth investing in and powering up.

What is the shiny rate for Makuhita in Pokémon Go?

According to research from The Silph Road, the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is around one in 500. Makuhita is not classified as a Pokémon with a boosted shiny rate, making it a rare find in the game.

What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?

Boosting shiny Pokémon rates is primarily up to chance and controlled by Niantic. These rates are usually increased during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, as well as in Legendary Raids. Unfortunately, there are no items that can enhance the chances of encountering shiny Pokémon.
