Can Furfrou be Shiny in Pokémon Go?

Furfrou has many looks thanks to its variety of unique hairstyles, but one of the most sought-after appearances of the Pokémon is its Shiny form.

Shiny Pokémon are those that boast a unique color scheme differing from their default appearance. There are hundreds of Pokémon species in Pokémon Go that are available in this form, but not all of them have catchable Shiny forms, which leads to many fans wondering if they can get a Shiny version for Furfrou.

Before you go out and grind to find this Shiny Pokémon, here’s everything you need to know about its current Shiny status in the game.

Is Shiny Furfrou in Pokémon Go?

Yes, Pokémon Go players can score themselves a Shiny form of Furfrou, but as usual, it’s not going to be a simple task to catch.

While it’s possible to catch a Shiny version of Furfrou in the wild, it will likely take multiple encounters before finding a Shiny one. Shiny Pokémon have a lower encounter rate than their regular form, so you’ll probably need to search for a while and keep an eye out to finally add Furfrou’s alternate look to your collection.

Now you’re all caught up, you can go about hunting your Shiny Furfrou and perhaps change its form for a fresh new look.
