How To Get Shiny Skiddo And Shiny Gogoat In Pokemon GO
Niantic is debuting Skiddo as a wild spawn, so players can also get its Shiny variantlurking in the wild. While players might encounter a Skiddo quickly due to its boosted spawn rate for the Barcelona, Spain -Pokemon GOCity Safari event, a Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. Players must encounter multiple Skiddo to catch up to its Shiny spawn rate.
Shiny encounters depend on each monster’s spawn rate and the individual Shiny odds. Higher spawn rates might lead to faster Shiny encounters, and although there’s no guaranteed way to boost a specific monster’s spawn rate, players can use differentPokemon GOitemsto improve their chances.
In-game items like Lure Modules andIncense can boost Pokemon spawn ratein specific locations. The Weather Boost feature can also increase Pokemon spawn rates and damage power around areas with particular weather conditions. Regarding Skiddo, it experiences a spawn boost around areas with sunny weather. One can use the already boosted spawn rate of Skiddo during the City Safari event and Shiny hunt in areas with sunny weather to further increase its spawn rate.
Players should find a PokeStop or Gym with sunny weather, attach aPokemon GOLure Module, and activate Incense. Once the Incense activates, all that’s left is to walk around the area. Doing this will stack their effects and significantly increase the number of Skiddo spawns. The boosted Skiddo spawn rate might help players catch up to its Shiny odds.
