Pokemon GO developers increase the likelihood of encountering a Shiny Zangoose during featured events. Zangoose is a wild spawn and also comes as a 3-star raid boss. While encountering a Standard Zangoose might be easy, the same cannot be said about Shiny Zangoose.
Pokemon GO trainers have multiple ways of getting a Shiny Zangoose especially in featured events like Rivals Week. One can encounter it by winning Zangoose 3-star raids, in the wild, or by completing featured Research tasks. However, one must note that the chances of encountering a Shiny by completing Research tasks are slim compared to wild spawn and raid encounters. Winning multiple raids boosts the probability of a Shiny encounter, and players can strategize using different items to increase their chances of spawning a wild Shiny Zangoose. That said, this guide details the best way to get a Shiny Zangoose.

Pokemon GO: Catch Shiny Zangoose As A Wild Spawn
Pokemon GO trainers can encounter an increased amount of Zangoose in the wild during events featuring it. The increased wild spawn rate can help them encounter numerous Shiny variants and match its Shiny odds. There are also multiple in-game items that can further boost the wild spawn rate. Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly increase wild monster spawn rate around specific areas.

Players must spot a PokeStop or Gym with such weather conditions, attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module, activate an Incense, and w alk around that area.
