Can Necrozma be Shiny?
Yes, Necrozma can be Shiny in Pokemon Go, as this special variation debuted at the beginning of the Go Fest 2024 event.
Shiny hunters might not find Shiny Necrozma asimpressive as other Shiny Pokemon. This is because its usual black body just turns into a dark shade of indigo, making the difference barely noticeable.
Due to Shiny Solgaleo and Shiny Lunala not being available in the game yet, players who wish to get either a Shiny Dusk Mane or a Shiny Dawn Wings must get a Shiny Necrozma first. The fusions will have Necrozma’s indigo blue traits with pink Solgaleo and Lunala parts.
It’s worth noting, though, that the odds of finding a Shiny Pokemon are very low, as there’s no special technique or method to secure an encounter. The only thing trainers can do to increase their chances is to challenge as many Necrozma as they can during its time as a Raid boss.
