Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Zangoose

This Pokemon GO guide explores the best ways to get a Shiny Zangoose in the game.

Pokemon GO developers increase the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Zangoose during featured events. Zangoose is a wild spawn and also comes as a 3-star raid boss. While encountering a Standard Zangoose might be easy, the same cannot be said about Shiny Zangoose.

Pokemon GO trainers have multiple ways of getting a Shiny Zangoose especially in featured events like Rivals Week. One can encounter it by winning Zangoose 3-star raids, in the wild, or by completing featured Research tasks. However, one must note that the chances of encountering a Shiny by completing Research tasks are slim compared to wild spawn and raid encounters. Winning multiple raids boosts the probability of a Shiny encounter, and players can strategize using different items to increase their chances of spawning a wild Shiny Zangoose. That said, this guide details the best way to get a Shiny Zangoose.

The Normal-type Zangoose possesses a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 2733 and a stat spread comprising 222 ATK, 124 DEF, and 177 STA. Trainers can encounter Zangoose in the wild and by winning 3-star raids; the same is true with Shiny Zangoose. But players must strategically use their resources to make it happen.

Pokemon GO: Catch Shiny Zangoose As A Wild Spawn

Pokemon GO trainers can encounter an increased amount of Zangoose in the wild during events featuring it. The increased wild spawn rate can help them encounter numerous Shiny variants and match its Shiny odds. There are also multiple in-game items that can further boost the wild spawn rate. Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly increase wild monster spawn rate around specific areas.

Zangoose experiences a Weather Boost around areas with partly cloudy weather. Players must spot a PokeStop or Gym with such weather conditions, attach a Pokemon GOLure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy can stack their effects and notably increase wild Zangoose spawn rate during featured events. The boosted wild spawn rate might help players reach its Shiny odds.

Pokemon GO developers at Niantic have set Zangoose as a 3-star raid boss, and defeating it may result in a Shiny encounter. While a Shiny Zangoose may spawn near the raid location, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed. But there is a way to increase the chance; one must participate and win numerous Zangoose raids. Doing so can help players encounter numerous Standard variants and match its Shiny odds.
