As time moves forward, more events are being announced for Pokemon GO. Pokemon GO is one of the most supported mobile games in the market with constant events and updates to keep the players engaged. As one event closes, another will start. Soon, players will be able to participate in the Crackling Voltage event coming to Pokemon GO.

The Crackling Voltage event will feature a legendary Pokemon from the Alola Region, Tapu Koko. With Tapu Koko coming to Pokemon GO, players are starting to wonder if they can catch a shiny version of this Pokemon. Here, we will discuss if it is possible to catch Shiny Tapu Koko and what you need to do to get it.

In recent news, Niantic has given the details about how the Crackling Voltage event will work in Pokemon GO. Players will see an abundance of different Pokemon during the event which not only includes new Pokemon in the wild but there will be also new raids. Tapu Koko will be one of the premiere Five-star raids that appears during the Crackling Voltage event.

Now the question is, can Tapu Koko be shiny during the Five-star raids? We are here to say yes, you can catch shiny Tapu Koko. Not only that, but Tapu Koko will be shiny for the very first time in Pokemon GO, so this is an opportunity you will not want to miss out on. Just remember that you must first defeat Tapu Koko during the Five-star raid before you will see if it is actually shiny or not.

When Can I Catch Shiny Tapu Koko In Pokemon GO?

The Crackling Voltage event starts on January 27, 2023, at 10 am local time. Normally, a raid like Tapu Koko would start right at the very beginning of the event and that is when you would be able to catch shiny Tapu Koko for the first time. But this time, that is not the case.

Shiny Tapu Koko raids actually start on January 25, 2023, at 10 am local time. That means that shiny Tapu Koko raids actually start before the Crackling Voltage event starts. That gives players an early start to the raids and an early opportunity to catch a shiny Tapu Koko.

Just remember that the Tapu Koko raids end on February 1, 2023, at 10 am local time. Once that time passes, you cannot get shiny Tapu Koko anymore.
