Pokemon GO debuts Shiny Larvest and Shiny Volcarona as part of the 2024 Scorching Steps event.

Keep in mind that it is challenging to encounter a Shiny, compared to the Standard variant.
Pokemon GO Shiny Larvesta was released on Friday, June 21, 2024, at 10 AM Local Time during the Scorching Steps event. In addition, you can also get a Shiny Volcarona starting from that date. Shiny Larvesta is a dual Bug and Fire-type Pokemon with a maximum Combat Power of 1692. The monster possesses a stat spread comprising 156 ATK, 107 DEF, 146 STA, and a diverse move pool. All of its battle prowess experiences a significant increase once the monster evolves into a Shiny Volcarona. That said, this guide details the best way to get Shiny Larvesta and Shiny Volcarona in the game.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Larvesta
Pokemon GO events like the Scorching Steps featuring Larvesta increase the probability of encountering a Shiny Larvesta. The monster and its Shiny variant are Egg hatches, and you cannot encounter them in the wild. While there is no guaranteed Shiny encounter in the game, you can try to hatch several Eggs to increase the chances.
Larvesta and Shiny Larvesta can hatch from 2 KM, 5 KM, and 10 KM Eggs in Pokemon GO. While there is a chance of a Shiny Larvesta hatching from these Eggs, the possibilities are slim. You must hatch numerous Eggs and encounter several Standard variants to match Larvesta’s Shiny odds. The more Larvesta you hatch, the quicker you may catch up to its Shiny odds.
You must stock up on Pokemon GO Incubators and Eggs. The 2 KM, 5 KM, and 10 KM Eggs are available by spinning PokeStops and Gyms. Once you have enough Eggs and Incubators, you must explore and walk for the required KMs to hatch them. Hatching multiple Eggs is the only way to increase your chances of a Shiny Larvesta encounter.
