June is almost over, and that means the TCG Pikachu will be the final Spotlight Hour feature in Pokémon GO<\/a> for the month. With only so many days left in the month and the TCG Crossover Event in general, many Trainers will want to know if the TCG Pikachu can be shiny.<\/p>\n

Formally known as ‘Pikachu wearing a Pokémon TCG Hat’ by Niantic, this event Pokémon will be featured on June 28 as the last Spotlight of the month. As always, one of the main attractions is the chance to get a shiny form, and that’s no different this week. Event Pokémon in particular can be some of the rarest shiny versions within the game.<\/p>\n

Every Pokémon in the Spotlight Hour for the month of June has had a shiny form, and the TCG Pikachu is no different than the rest of the pack. During the Spotlight Hour and the general TCG Crossover Event, this special Pikachu will always have a chance of being shiny when you encounter it.<\/p>\n

Nearly any time you encounter a normal Pikachu or an event Pikachu, there will be a shiny form available to catch. This rule applies to any Pokémon that has a shiny form along with an event form within Pokémon GO. While you’ll have the opportunity to find a shiny form during the June Spotlight, that doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee.<\/p>\n
