What is the shiny rate for Pawmi in Pokémon Go?
The shiny rate for Pawmi in Pokémon GO is approximately 1 in 512 under normal conditions. However, during special events such as Pawmi’s Community Day in May 2025, the shiny encounter rate is significantly boosted, potentially reaching as high as 1 in 25. This event increases the chances of encountering a Shiny Pawmi, making it easier for trainers to catch this rare variant.
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. Pawmi 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?
Will Shiny Pawmi ever be available in Pokémon Go
Yes, Shiny Pawmi is now available in Pokémon GO. It was officially released during the May 11, 2025 Community Day event, allowing players to catch its rare shiny form for the first time in the game.
Will Niantic add Shiny Pawmi in upcoming Pokémon Go events
Niantic has already added Shiny Pawmi to Pokémon GO as part of the May 2025 Community Day event, which took place on May 11, 2025. During this event, Pawmi appeared more frequently in the wild, and players had the chance to encounter its shiny form for the first time. Special Timed Research and event bonuses further increased the odds of finding Shiny Pawmi throughout the week following the event.
While Shiny Pawmi’s availability was prominently featured during this Community Day, Niantic often brings back previously released shinies in future events, such as special raids, research tasks, or spotlight hours. However, as of now, there are no official announcements confirming Shiny Pawmi’s inclusion in upcoming events beyond the May 2025 Community Day and its associated week-long bonuses.
