Pokemon GOreleases multiple monsters and distinct Shiny variants as rewards for major events. The Unown variants are some of the game’s most mysterious and elusive catches. The latestGlobal Fest 2023debuts Shiny Unown M, and collectors are flocking to get their hands on it.
Unown falls under some of the rarest catches, and encountering its Shiny variants is scarce. The Symbol monster has multiple forms, including the letters A to Z and symbols like questions and exclamation marks. Catching different forms of Unown grants differentPokemon GOmedals: Silver at 10 forms, Gold at 26. The medal doesn’t affect Unown encounters, but a platinum Psychic medal can enhance catch rates due to its Psychic typing. The Unown variants are tough to come by in the wild, but the developers at Niantic regularly feature them in events.

How to get Shiny Unown M in Pokemon GO
The Global Fest 2023 featured some elusive Unown variants as wild spawns. Global Fest 2023 ticket holders could utilizePokemon GOIncenseto attract and capture habitat-themed monsters, including various Unown forms. The Global event also marked the worldwide debut of Shiny Unown M. But getting a Shiny Unown M is challenging; its status as a wild spawn doesn’t help much. The Unown variant might be a wild spawn, but the Shiny odd is tough to catch up.
Niantic also features Unown variants inPokemon GOraids, and defeating the boss offers a Shiny encounter. One should know that raid Shiny encounters are not guaranteed, and the Unown M variant has yet to come as a raid boss.

The Psychic-typing of Unown provides a hint for boosting its wild spawn rates. The higher the spawn rate, the faster players catch up to its Shiny spawn rate. One can useseveralPokemon GOitemsand the weather boost function to increase its Shiny odds.
Since the Symbol Pokemon’s spawn rate increases in windy weather, one can utilize this weather condition to hunt its Shiny variant. Attach a Lure Module to a PokeStop orPokemon GOGymwith windy weather conditions, activate an Incense, and walk around the area.
This method works well when Unown is a featured monster in an event; the already increased spawn rate gets a further boost with this strategy. Players must encounter multiple Unown M or other variants and catch up to their Shiny odds.
Pokemon GOis available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
