Pokemon GO: How to get Shiny Oddish
ThePokemon GOOddish Research Dayoffers multiple opportunities to get Shiny Oddish and Shiny variants of its evolutions. Players can encounter Shiny Oddish as a wild spawn, and various Research tasks also offer Shiny Oddish encounters. Although players can get a Shiny Oddish, the encounter isn’t guaranteed.
One must encounter multiple Oddish to catch up to its Shiny spawn rate. The spawn rate of a wild monster such as Oddish can increase even further in featured events. Event-featured monsters experience a boost in their spawn rates, which can be boosted further using differentPokemon GOelements.
Wild Encounters: Shiny Oddish
There are multiple wild monsters featured in the Oddish Research Day event. One of thesePokemon GOwild spawnsis the dual Grass and Poison-type Oddish as revealed in the event bonuses. Encountering multiple wild Oddish might help players catch up to its Shiny spawn rate and some wild Oddish might even drop a Sun Stone as the event bonus. The Oddish Research Day’s boosted spawn rate allows players to encounter and catch numerous Oddish, but the spawn rate can increase even further.
Pokemon GOitems like Incense, Lure Module, and Weather Boost can significantly increase the monster spawn rate. Oddish experiences a spawn rate increase during sunny and cloudy weather conditions. One can hunt for the monster in PokeStops and Gyms with such weather conditions, attach a Lure Module, use an Incense, and traverse around that place. This strategy stacks the effects of all these in-game elements and notably increases the Oddish spawn rate.
