PvE / Raid Attacking

Shiny
Shiny artwork shown above for reference. We don't maintain a live, region-by-region shiny-release-date log here (Niantic's shiny rollouts change too often to track reliably per species) — check current spawns, raids and event pages, or track your own catches with the Shiny Checklist.
