Niantic has introduced the captivating Pokemon GO Sustainability Week event for 2024, offering players an array of exciting opportunities. Among the highlights is the increased likelihood of encountering shiny Pokemon, a chance that no trainer should miss.
This year's Sustainability Week event has been scaled down, omitting any new Pokemon or shiny releases. Despite featuring enticing rewards through Field Research tasks, some fans remain dissatisfied with the event overall. However, for aspiring shiny hunters, here is a comprehensive guide to maximize your shiny Pokemon collection during the event.
Shiny Pokemon with Boosted Rates in Sustainability Week 2024
These Pokemon will have an increased shiny encounter rate during the Pokemon GO Sustainability Week 2024 event:
- Combee
- Drilbur
- Trubbish
- Foongus
- Binacle
Ways to Obtain Shiny Combee, Drilbur, Trubbish, Foongus, and Binacle
Unlike previous events where all spawns had boosted shiny rates, in Sustainability Week 2024, the boosts apply solely to Pokemon hatched from 2km eggs. While this may disappoint some trainers, hatching numerous eggs is the key to enhancing your chances of obtaining a shiny. Utilizing Super Incubators can expedite egg hatching, enabling players to hatch more eggs throughout the event.
Despite wild encounters having standard shiny rates, players shouldn't disregard them entirely. By utilizing items like Incense and Lure Modules, trainers can significantly increase spawn rates, thereby improving their chances of encountering a shiny Pokemon. While Normal Lure Modules attract a variety of Pokemon, specific types cater to different preferences.
Tips for Acquiring Shiny Vespiquen, Excadrill, Garbodor, Amoonguss, and Barbaracle
Once you possess the base shiny form of a Pokemon, the simplest method to obtain its shiny evolutions is by evolving it. However, these evolutions can also be found in the wild. Therefore, if you prefer not to collect candies through grinding, following a similar strategy as before remains a viable option. Here's how to secure the shiny versions of each Pokemon.
There are multiple techniques to accumulate candies in the game, and players should consider completing the evolutions during the event to capitalize on the boosted spawn rates. The strategy is straightforward: focus on capturing Pokemon to earn candies, increasing your chances of encountering the evolved forms directly. Additionally, don't overlook the Sustainability Week Field Research Tasks that can be completed along the way.
