Turtles hold a special place in the Pokémon universe. When you think of turtle Pokémon, Squirtle probably pops up first. However, a Fire-type tortoise, Torkoal, has also earned its fame. It played a key role on Ash’s team in his Hoenn journey. Torkoal is not just a hit in VGC competitive scenes for its slow, strategic plays. It’s a favorite among Pokémon Go gamers too. Now, many are curious if they can find Torkoal in its Shiny version.
Can You Find Shiny Torkoal in Pokémon Go?
Since Torkoal joined Pokémon Go in 2018, its Shiny version was nowhere to be found. But big news is here. The Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn, happening on February 18-19 and February 25-26, brings a chance to catch a Shiny Torkoal.
What’s So Special About Shiny Torkoal?
Shiny Pokémon always bring excitement, and Shiny Torkoal is no exception. Unlike the regular Torkoal with its orange body and gray shell, the Shiny version stands out with a yellow body and red shell. It’s a must-have for collectors.
How To Get Your Hands on Shiny Torkoal
You can find Torkoal, along with Tropius and Relicanth, by hatching 10 km Eggs. Though it’s based on luck to hatch a Shiny one, the Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn Las Vegas event offers a paid boost. This boost might just increase your chances to get those eggs.
If you buy a ticket and join the event, you’re in for more Shinies. Ticket owners can also buy an Egg-thusiast add-on. This add-on gives extra Hatch buffs, goodies, and a higher chance to find 10 km Eggs at PokéStops and Gyms. It’s perfect for trainers aiming to hatch Shiny Torkoals.
So, for those eager to expand their Shiny collection, the upcoming event in Pokémon Go is your golden opportunity. Don’t miss out on the chance to boast a Shiny Torkoal in your lineup.
