    To bolster your chances of encountering Shiny Blitzle in Pokémon GO, you can activate Incense which can also be Daily Adventure Incense<\/a>; the latter will attract Pokémon for 15 minutes while walking or moving. Likewise, you can also use a Lure Module<\/a>, which, based on Blitzle’s typing, is a Magnetic Lure Module to attract specific Pokémon types, namely Electric, Rock, and Steel.<\/p>\n

    With the Incense or Lure Module activated, ensure you have enough Poké Balls in your Bag, which you’ll need to catch Blitzle. Speaking of catching the Pokémon, you can give Blitzle a variety of Berries, namely Razz Berries, to further increase your chances of catching it.<\/p>\n

    Likewise, Nanab Berries can be given to the Pokémon to decrease its movement as you attempt to catch it, and Pinap Berries will double the Candy you can receive after catching it. Lastly, you can use various Throws to successfully catch Bliztle, which you can gain an XP bonus and boost your chances of catching it.<\/p>\n
