Pokemon GO Shiny collectors can get Shiny Darumaka and Shiny Standard Darmanitan by hunting in the wild. While a Shiny Pokemon encounter isn’t guaranteed, occasions like the New Year’s 2024 event boost the chances of getting one by increasing its spawn rate. Catching a wild Shiny Darumaka leads to getting a Shiny Standard Darmanitan in the game.
Shiny Darumaka and Shiny Standard Darmanitan have the same abilities as their Standard variants. While Darumaka has a maximum Pokemon GO CP of 1630, Standard Darmanitan’s CP reaches a maximum of 3511. Both of their Shiny variants are capable enough to battle powerful monsters, adding more value for Shiny collectors. That said, this guide explores the best methods to get a Shiny Darumaka and Shiny Standard Darmanitan in the game.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Darumaka In The Wild
Players can get a Shiny Darumaka as a wild spawn, which is easier to encounter during events that boost Darumaka’s spawn rate. The increased spawn rate results in consecutive encounters, helping players match its Shiny odds. There are also several Pokemon GO items that can increase Pokemon spawn rate in the wild.
In-game items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost function can notably increase the wild spawn rate. Pokemon GO Incense attaches to the trainers and boosts the Pokemon spawn rate wherever they walk, and Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop or Gym and increase the monster spawn rate around it. Meanwhile, the Weather Boost effect increases the spawn rate in areas with specific weather conditions.
Darumaka’s Weather Boost triggers around areas with sunny weather. One can take advantage of this and attach a Lure Module to a PokeStop or Gym in sunny weather, activate an Incense, and traverse around the area. This method can stack their effects, which may significantly increase Darumaka’s spawn rate during featured events. Encountering numerous Darumaka might help catch up to its Shiny odds and encounter a Shiny Darumaka.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Darumaka In Research Quests
In addition to wild encounters, Pokemon GO players can get a Shiny Darumaka through Research quests. Specific events featuring the monster may reward a Darumaka encounter for completing specific Research tasks. There is a probability for Shiny Darumaka to appear as the reward. Since it is just a probability, the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed.
