As the second week of July approaches, Trainers will have an opportunity to get Machop in the weekly Pokémon GO<\/a> Spotlight Hour. Like any Spotlight prior to this one, the most prominent question is whether the featured Pokémon can be caught in a shiny form or not.<\/p>\n

Catching shiny forms are one of the most exciting aspects of Pokémon GO and it’s no surprise that they are used as selling points for events such as Community Days. Spotlight Hours themselves are a very light version of those events with just one hour to get an addition like a shiny Machop. But those forms aren’t always guaranteed.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing to worry about in the second week of July as there is certainly a shiny Machop that can be caught in Pokémon GO. Two events have gone live in the past that have guaranteed Machop will always have a shiny form available in the game.<\/p>\n

The first of those was the Community Day event that was held for the Kanto region Fighting-type. Any time a Pokémon is given a Community Day, they will have a shiny form added if they don’t already have that available. This carries on afterward as well, so it’s more than likely that you’ve seen some shiny Machamps occupying gyms or fighting in the GO Battle League.<\/p>\n
