Shiny Pok\u00e9mon are an important component of any game in the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> series, especially for collectors who wish to make their Pok\u00e9Dex as complete as possible, and Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> is no different. These variants offer an alternative look for each species, which is carried on to their evolutions, and they are also relatively hard to find. But not all species have Shiny versions available in the mobile game\u2014at least not yet.<\/p>
To spread out the content and maximize the possibilities of each new release, Niantic rarely includes a Shiny version when a new Pok\u00e9mon drops. They are usually saved for events like Community Days and type-specific celebrations, or even a bigger festival like Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> Fest. Unfortunately, this also means fans might be confused as to whether their favorite species have an alternative color or not.<\/p>
If you\u2019re preparing to catch and evolve as many Teddiursa as you can on the next Community Day, you might be wondering if the Little Bear Pok\u00e9mon can be Shiny.<\/p>
