Can Croagunk Be Shiny In Pokémon GO? - Spotlight Hour

The Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour (November) featuring Croagunk is nearly here. But will there be a Shiny version of the Pokémon?
Can Croagunk Be Shiny In Pokémon GO? - Spotlight Hour

Every month, Niantic brings forth various new Pokémon that Trainers can encounter and catch along their travels. With November 2022 starting only a little while ago, Niantic has already revealed some of the Pokémon GO Spotlight events occurring during the month. That said, Croagunk, the dual-type Fighting and Poison-type Pokémon resembling a poison dart frog, will be featured in one of these November 2022 Pokémon GO Spotlight events.

More importantly, Croagunk will receive a boosted spawn rate, making the Pokémon appear everywhere across the world on 8th November 2022 between 6 pm and 7 pm local time. This event means Trainers won't need to farm Croagunk Rare Candies anymore to evolve it into Toxicroak. Instead, they'll be able to acquire plenty of Croagunks during the November 2022 Pokémon GO Spotlight event. In addition, Trainers catching Croagunk will also receive twice as much XP. But, if Croagunk will be abundantly seen all over Trainers' neighborhoods, will there be a Shiny version of the Pokémon that they can catch?

Will There Be A Shiny Croagunk In Pokémon GO Spotlight Hour?

Trainers will be able to catch a Shiny version of Croagunk.

Yes, there will be a Shiny version of Croagunk. Fortunately, Trainers who are lucky enough can catch a Shiny Croagunk. Although it's not too special for veteran Trainers since Shiny Croagunk has been out for quite a while, newcomers will be fortunate to encounter one.

In Pokémon GO, Shiny Croagunk is quite the spectacle. The Pokémon's natural deep blue hue is transformed, and its Shiny version exhibits a teal color alongside hot pink accents that accentuate Croagunk's patterns and design. That said, regardless if Croagunk will be seen plenty of times during the Pokémon's exclusive November 2022 Pokémon GO Spotlight event, Trainers will only have an hour to find and catch it, so they'll need a little luck on their side.

With the event so near, Trainers shouldn't forget to mark their calendars. The November 2022 Pokémon GO Spotlight event featuring Croagunk starts on 8th November and lasts an hour between 6 pm and 7 pm local time. For more technical information, feel free to check Niantic's official post.
