The latest Pokémon Go event, Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn, is now underway for players all over the world on Feb. 25 and 26.

One huge perk of the tour is the opportunity to catch more Shiny Pokémon from Gen III since the entire event is themed around Hoenn. Certain Pokémon will have boosted spawn rates to make Shiny hunting a little easier during the event.

In addition, specific Pokémon will have their Shiny variants available for the first time in Pokémon Go. This is especially good news for players who’ve been waiting to work on their Shiny Pokédex. So which lucky Pokémon are finally getting Shiny forms? And where can you find the ones with boosted spawn rates?

All new Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn

Prior to this event, there were still a few Hoenn Pokémon without Shiny variants in Pokémon Go. These Pokémon are finally getting their Shiny upgrades, meaning all Hoenn Pokémon in Pokémon Go will now be available in their Shiny forms.

  • Surskit
  • Masquerain
  • Gulpin
  • Swalot
  • Torkoal
  • Cacnea
  • Cacturne
  • Tropius
  • Relicanth
  • Kecleon
  • Jirachi
  • Unown H (originally from Gen II)

How to get Shiny Jirachi in Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn

Unlike the other Shiny Pokémon in this event, Shiny Jirachi will be locked behind this Go Tour’s Masterwork Research, since it is a Mythical encounter that can’t be found anywhere else.

That entails purchasing a ticket and completing difficult tasks. But purchasing the Masterwork Research ticket will guarantee you a Shiny Jirachi.

Ticket-holders who attended the event in Las Vegas will be given a shortcut on the Masterwork Research and did not have to pay extra for the ticket, while the rest of the world will have to put in a bit more work to encounter the Shiny Jirachi.

All Shiny Pokémon with boosted spawn rates in Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn

While Shiny hunting, one of the most useful boosts you can have is boosted spawn rates. By encountering more Pokémon in a shorter amount of time, you should in theory be able to encounter more Shiny Pokémon than you usually would.

Since this event is centered around the Hoenn region, expect to find a lot of Gen III Shiny Pokémon. Though it is important to note that none of these Pokémon are guaranteed to be Shiny.
