Pokemon GO players can get a Shiny Croagunk and Shiny Toxicroak during events like Spotlight Hour that feature them. During such events, the wild spawn rate for Croagunk increases, which might help players hunt for its Shiny. But getting hands on a Shiny Croagunk isn’t as easy as getting a Standard Croagunk encounter.
Pokemon GO Standard and Shiny monsters share the same Combat Power and stats; the only notable difference is their color. Croagunk is a dual Poison and Fighting-type Pokemon with a maximum CP of 1077. The monster possesses a stat spread of 116 ATK, 76 DEF, and 134 STA, but its stats and CP are boosted once players evolve them. Considering this, Shiny Croagunk and Shiny Toxicroak can perform well in battle scenarios of their respective power levels. This guide explores the best way to get Shiny Croagunk and Shiny Toxicroak in the game.

How To Get Shiny Croagunk In Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO trainers can encounter Croagunk and Shiny Croagunk in the wild, especially during events featuring the monster. However, encountering a Shiny Croagunk is relatively more challenging than encountering a Croagunk in the wild. One must encounter numerous Standard Croagunk and try to match its Shiny odds for a Shiny Croagunk encounter. This is achievable during featured events when numerous Croagunk spawn in the wild.
Several Pokemon GO items can boost the wild spawn rate for monsters. Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly increase the spawn rate for wild monsters within a particular area of effect. While Incense and Lure Modules need activation, Weather Boost is a passive effect that increases the wild spawn rate for monsters under specific weather conditions.
Croagunk spawns more in areas with cloudy weather conditions. Players must locate a PokeStop or Gym with cloudy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate a Pokemon GO Incense, and walk around the spot. When these items are used simultaneously during events featuring Croagunk, their effects stack and notably increase the monster’s spawn rate. This boost in the wild spawn rate can help players encounter multiple Croagunk, which might aid in reaching its Shiny odds.
