Pokemon GO debuted Shiny Passiman on September 22, 2024, during the Oranguru and Passimian Research Day event. It is possible to encounter Shiny Passimian through multiple methods. Shiny Passimian is available as a wild spawn, Research task encounter, and raid clearance reward.
Pokemon GO Shiny Passimian and its Standard variant share identical stats and maximum CP. The Fighting-type monster has a maximum CP of 3429 and a stat spread of 222 ATK, 160 DEF, and 225 STA. In-game events featuring the monster increase its wild spawn rate and offer guaranteed encounters through Research tasks and as a 3-Star Raid reward. That said, this guide details the best methods to get Shiny Passimian.
How To Get A Shiny Passimian In Pokemon GO?
Pokemon GO features Passimian as a wild spawn, a Research task encounter, and sometimes it comes as a 3-Star Raid Boss. Since the Raid Boss rotations happen regularly, you can only occasionally encounter it as a Raid Boss. Since Shiny Passimian has already debuted, in-game events featuring the monster can increase the chances of getting it.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Passimian As A Wild Spawn
Shiny Passimian is a wild spawn, and you can boost your chances of encountering it by using different items. There are multiple in-game items that increase the wild Pokemon spawn rate. Pokemon GO Incense, Lure Modules, and Weather Boosts can increase wild Pokemon spawn rate.
Passimian gets a spawn rate boost in wild areas with cloudy weather. To maximize spawns, find a PokeStop in cloudy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate Incense, and walk around. This strategy works especially during events that already boost Passimian’s spawn rate.
There is no guaranteed method of a Shiny encounter; you must encounter numerous Passimian and match its Shiny odds.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Passimian As A Research Task Encounter
Pokemon GO events featuring Passimian offer a chance to encounter Shiny Passimian through Research tasks. Such events often have better Shiny odds than wild spawns. Though not guaranteed, completing multiple tasks increases your chances of finding a Shiny.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Passimian As A Raid Reward
Defeating Passimian in a Pokemon GO 3-Star Raid can lead to a Shiny spawn. Although it is not guaranteed, winning multiple raids increases your chances of matching its Shiny odds. You must team up with other trainers, as the boss is too strong for solo play. Prepare a strong counter roster based on Passimian’s weaknesses, and use counters with moves that trigger the Same Type of Attack Bonus (STAB) for extra damage.
