The event starts on Tuesday, November 7, at 10 AM and ends on Sunday, November 12, at 8 PM local time. Shiny Morelull and Shiny Shiinotic are coming as wild spawns, Egg hatches, and Incense encounters.

How To Get Shiny Morelull In Pokemon GO
Morelull is featured as a Pokemon GO wild spawn, Incense encounter, and 7 KM Egg hatch, giving trainers multiple ways to encounter one. Trainers also have a chance of encountering a Shiny variant during the Festival of Light 2023 event and later on. Players can get the Shiny Grass and Fairy-type Pokemon relatively quickly because of the event's boosted spawn rate.
Wild Spawns: Shiny Morelull
Morelull might spawn abundantly in the wild, but encountering a Shiny is more challenging. While Pokemon GO players can encounter a wild Shiny Morelull, it isn't guaranteed. One must encounter and catch as many Morelull as possible to catch up to its Shiny spawn odds.
A monster's spawn rate and Shiny odds are directly linked with Shiny encounters. While boosting the spawn rate of a specific monster is impossible, using different Pokemon GO items can help improve the odds.
Trainers can use Pokemon GO Incense and Lure Modules with the Weather Boost effect to increase the spawn rate in a particular area. As Morelull spawns more in sunny and cloudy weather, trainers can hunt for it in places with similar weather. Trainers can further increase Pokemon spawn rates by using the above-mentioned items in areas with favorable weather conditions.
Trainers should attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module in PokeStop or Gym with sunny and cloudy weather while activating an Incense. Then, walk around the area, stacking their effect and boosting the monster’s spawn rate. Doing this during events that feature the monster can further increase Morelull's spawn rate.
7 KM Eggs: Shiny Morelull
Trainers can acquire 7 KM Eggs by receiving gifts from their Pokemon GO friends. During the Festival of Light 2023 event, one can hatch various Shiny Pokemon from 7 KM Eggs, including a Shiny Morelull. Although Shiny Morelull can be acquired through wild spawns as well, one has a greater chance of finding the Shiny monster through Eggs.
Incense Spawn: Shiny Morelull
Incense are in-game items that can boost the spawn rate of different Pokemon around the trainers. During the event, when Incense is used, trainers can encounter various Pokemon and their Shiny variants, including Morelull. However, a Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed, and one must catch as many Morelull as possible to catch up to its Shiny odds.

How To Get Shiny Shiinotic In Pokemon GO
Players cannot directly get a Shiny Shiinotic; one must evolve a Shiny Morelull to get their hands on a Shiny Shiinotic. After catching a Shiny Morelull, trainers must evolve it into a Shiny Shiinotic by feeding the monster 50 Candy. Pokemon GO trainers can get the required number of in-game Candy by catching or transferring multiple Morelull, conducting Buddy activities with Morelull, or other ways.
