Looking to add a touch of autumnal magic to your Pokémon GO collection? Morelull, the glowing mushroom Pokémon from Alola, can indeed appear in its elusive shiny form-transforming from springtime pastels to warm red, yellow, and brown hues. While shiny Morelull remains a rare find with typical odds, special events like Spotlight Hour and strategic use of Incense, Lure Modules, and weather boosts can significantly increase your chances of encountering this enchanting Grass/Fairy-type. Ready to light up your Pokédex? Here’s everything you need to know to hunt shiny Morelull in Pokémon GO.
Neither of these mushroom Pokémon see any use in raids, gyms, or PvP content. Their shinies are great, since they go from a spring coloring to a nice autumn red-yellow-brown.
What is the shiny rate for Morelull in Pokémon Go?
The shiny rate for Morelull in Pokémon Go is approximately 1 in 512 encounters during regular wild encounters, incense encounters, and field or timed research rewards. However, Morelull hatched from 7km Eggs have a significantly higher shiny rate of 1 in 64, which is a permanent boost. During special events like the Morelull Spotlight Hour, the spawn rate of Morelull increases, which can help players encounter more Morelull and thus improve their chances of finding a shiny variant, although the base shiny odds remain the same. Using in-game items like Lure Modules, Incense, and taking advantage of weather boosts can also increase the number of Morelull spawns, indirectly aiding shiny hunting efforts.
As per old research by the now-defunct website The Silph Road (via Wayback Machine), the shiny rate for Pokémon on a regular day is approximately one in 500. Morelull is not a confirmed Pokémon that gets a “permaboost” (meaning that it’s a rare spawn and thus gets a boosted shiny rate).
What can I do to attract more shiny Pokémon?
Not much, unfortunately. It appears to be random chance. Shiny Pokémon catch rates are set by developer Niantic, and they are typically only boosted during special events like Community Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There are no consumable items that boost shiny Pokémon rates.
Where can I find a list of available shiny Pokémon?
Can Morelull’s shiny form be caught outside special events in Pokémon Go
Yes, Morelull’s shiny form can be caught outside of special events in Pokémon GO, but the chances are quite low. The regular shiny encounter rate for Pokémon like Morelull on a normal day is approximately 1 in 500, and Morelull does not have a permanent shiny spawn boost, meaning shiny encounters are mostly random outside of events. Special events such as Spotlight Hours significantly increase Morelull’s spawn rate, thereby improving the odds of finding a shiny Morelull during those times, but shiny Morelull can still appear in the wild at any time, just much more rarely.
Can Morelull’s shiny form appear outside Spotlight Hour events in Pokémon Go
Yes, Morelull’s shiny form can appear outside of Spotlight Hour events in Pokémon GO, but it is much rarer. During Spotlight Hour, Morelull spawns increase significantly, boosting the chances of encountering a shiny variant due to the higher number of encounters. However, shiny Morelull can still spawn randomly on the map at any time, just with much lower odds compared to the event window. Using items like Lure Modules, Incense, and taking advantage of weather boosts can help increase Morelull’s spawn rate outside of Spotlight Hour, slightly improving the chances of finding a shiny.
