Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> Tour Hoenn is kicking off this weekend and plans to spawn every Hoenn Pok\u00e9mon from Torchic to Rayquaza for fans to catch to help complete their Pok\u00e9dex. The event also debuts Primal Groundon and Primal Kyogre after last week’s abysmal Las Vegas in-person event<\/a>.<\/p>
This doesn’t seem to be the case though. At least at first glance. With Hoenn Global no longer being a paid ticketed event and instead being offered for free, shiny boosting appears to not be appearing as a feature of the Global Tour. This shouldn’t be new to anyone, as Niantic confirmed to Eurogamer<\/a> in a report earlier this month that shiny boosts will only be available to some species, but not all Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>

So what does this mean? Well, it appears that increased shiny boosts might only be for a small selection of Pok\u00e9mon in the Global Tour this weekend, likely referencing the version-exclusive bonuses<\/a> that will spawn every hour depending on which version of the ticket you choose. Though this is not confirmed.<\/p>
