All the new Shiny variants of the Pokemon GO Tour Hoenn
The Shiny variants are an important aspect in Pokemon GOas well as in the main series.
Finding and catching special and rare versions of these monsters has become an essential part of the series, so much so that Pokemon Scarlet and Purple incorporated mechanics to make these tasks easier. However, in Pokemon GO there is no alternative but to find as many creatures as we can until we come across a Shiny variant.
To motivate players to keep looking and expand their ambitions, niantic has revealed a number of new Shiny variants that players will be able to start capturing this month. In this article we will tell you what all the new additions are.
