Pokemon GO features Elgyem in events like the Spotlight Hour, and participants can also encounter its Shiny variant. Since featured monsters’ spawn rate often boosts during events, Shiny hunters can take advantage of it. If you catch a Shiny Elgyem, you can evolve it into a Shiny Beheeyem later.
Pokemon GO monsters’ Combat Power and stats are identical for Regular and Shiny variants. Elgyem and its Shiny variant share the same CP of 1566; the stat spread comprises 148 ATK, 100 DEF, and 146 STA. Once players evolve the monster into a Beheeyem, the maximum CP increases to 3112, with a stat spread of 221 ATK, 163 DEF, and 181 STA. Such powerful stats are enough reasons to hunt for Shiny Elgyem and Shiny Beheeyem; this guide details the best way to get them.

How To Get Shiny Elgyem In Pokemon GO
Pokemon GO doesn’t provide a surefire way to encounter Shiny monsters, but there are ways to increase the chances. Events like the Spotlight Hour that feature Elgyem can boost its wild spawn rate, and you can use the opportunity to match Elgyem’s Shiny odds. Several in-game items can further increase wild spawn rates. The more Elgyem you encounter, the faster you may catch up to its Shiny odds.
Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly increase wild monsters' spawn rate. Using these items simultaneously can stack their effects and substantially increase wild Pokemon spawn rate around a limited area of effect. While Pokemon GO Lure Modules and Incense need manual activation, the Weather Boost is a passive effect that activates in specific weather conditions.
Elgyem’s wild spawn rate increases around areas with windy weather. You must locate a PokeStop or Gym with such weather, attach a Lure Module, activate a Pokemon GO Incense, and traverse the area of effect. Doing so during events featuring the monster can stack the effects with the already boosted wild spawn rate and might help match Elgyem’s Shiny odds.
