So when a creature like Blacephalon decides to drop from a wormhole, you might be wondering if you can catch a Shiny.\u00a0 Shiny Ultra Beasts are among the rarest Pok\u00e9mon in the franchise, and they are even harder to encounter in Pok\u00e9mon Go due to how Shiny odds work. Blacephalon is one such example because it has limited availability when it does appear in the game, meaning only certain players have a chance to catch one. But if you want to try and Shiny hunt the Fireworks Pok\u00e9mon, here's everything you need to know.\u00a0 Can you get Shiny Blacephalon in Pok\u00e9mon Go? Blacephalon is another Legendary-adjacent Pok\u00e9mon that Niantic did not put into the game with its Shiny right away. It first appeared in Pok\u00e9mon Go on May 23 as part of the Ultra Space Wonders event. While Ultra Beasts aren\u2019t technically Legendary or Mythical Pok\u00e9mon, they are about as rare as them in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Blacephalon, just like most other Ultra Beasts only appears through five-star raids featuring Ultra Wormholes\u2014and only at limited times, typically during events. It also only spawns in the Western Hemisphere, while Stakataka is Eastern Hemisphere-exclusive.\u00a0 With the potential this Fire\/Ghost-type has as an offensive force, those limitations will require some players to search for specific Remote Raid invites, just like with Celesteela.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Blacephalon-Pokemon-Anime.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1238550"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1239450,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550\/revisions\/1239450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1238563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1238550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1238550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Blacephalon is another Legendary-adjacent Pok\u00e9mon that Niantic did not put into the game with its Shiny right away. It first appeared in Pok\u00e9mon Go on May 23 as part of the Ultra Space Wonders event. While Ultra Beasts aren\u2019t technically Legendary or Mythical Pok\u00e9mon, they are about as rare as them in Pok\u00e9mon Go. Blacephalon, just like most other Ultra Beasts only appears through five-star raids featuring Ultra Wormholes\u2014and only at limited times, typically during events. It also only spawns in the Western Hemisphere, while Stakataka is Eastern Hemisphere-exclusive.\u00a0 With the potential this Fire\/Ghost-type has as an offensive force, those limitations will require some players to search for specific Remote Raid invites, just like with Celesteela.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Blacephalon-Pokemon-Anime.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1238550"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1239450,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1238550\/revisions\/1239450"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1238563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1238550"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1238550"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1238550"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
