Can Smoliv be shiny in Pokémon Go?

Published:

Smoliv, an olive-colored Pokémon from Paldea, can be found in the wild in PokemonGo. Yes, Smoliv can shine PokemonGo!

Shiny Smoliv debuted during the Harvest Festival 2024. No one in the Smoliv family sees any exploit in any meta, but it has a pretty good shine. Black olives are expressive and complement it perfectly!

What is the shiny rate for Smoliva in Pokémon Go?

According to elderly research from the now defunct website The Silph Road (via Return machine), the Shining Rate of Pokémon on a normal day is approximately one in 500. Smoliv is not a confirmed Pokémon that receives “permaboost” (meaning it is a uncommon spawn and therefore receives an increased Shining Rate).

What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?

Not much, unfortunately. It seems to be a random coincidence. Catch rates for Shiny Pokémon are set by developer Niantic and are typically only increased during special events such as Community Days, Safari Zones, or Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that augment the number of shiny Pokémon.

Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
