Think you spotted Pikachu or Raichu? Take another look. That small critter is Dedenne. This Electric and Fairy type from Kalos stars in the Pokémon Go event called Twinkling Fantasy. This event celebrates the magical and hard-to-find Fairy and Dragon Pokémon.
Dedenne and Friends
Dedenne belongs to what fans dub the “Pikachu family.” It’s a group of small, Electric type rodents resembling the famous Pikachu. The group has Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga. Almost all of them are in Pokémon Go now. However, the newest members Pawmo, Pawmot, and Pawmi aren’t here yet.
Complete Your Collection
Trying to finish your Collection Challenge for Twinkling Fantasy? You’ll need to catch a Dedenne. The game doesn’t say if it must be a regular or a Shiny version. But Go collectors see this as a chance to grow their personal collections. That is, if they can find the Pokémon.
Shiny Dedenne in Pokémon Go?
Many wonder if you can find Dedenne in its Shiny form in Pokémon Go. Here’s good news for Shiny hunters: Shiny Dedenne is here! It joined the game on January 10, 2023, making a shiny splash in this event.
Dedenne first showed up on November 5, 2021. It was part of the game’s nod to Diwali, the festival of lights in India. It was the only new Pokémon then. Now, Shiny Dedenne joins the event alongside Mega Salamance.
Spotting a Shiny Dedenne
A Shiny Dedenne looks a bit different. It turns from orange to a medium brown shade. Its ears and belly shift from a very light yellow to a darker, more vivid one. This makes finding a Shiny Dedenne an even cooler catch.
Catching Dedenne, especially its Shiny version, adds something special to your Pokémon collection. Whether you’re a hard-core collector or just enjoy the thrill of the hunt, this event is perfect. Join in and catch them if you can!
