Pokemon GO adds several monster variants, and the most recent debut is Shiny Zorua. With the distinctive ability to create illusions, Zorua can transform into different creatures. Whenever a Shiny Pokemon is introduced, trainers eagerly explore ways to capture it promptly. The same scenario applies to Shiny Zorua as a featured wild spawn in the Halloween 2023 event.
The Pokemon GO Halloween 2023 event offers multiple Shiny encounters while introducing Shiny Zorua. Players can secure numerous Shiny encounters by completing Research tasks, raids, and hunting in the wild. But one should note that none of the Shiny encounters are guaranteed. Regarding Shiny Zorua, it is a featured wild spawn and experiences a spawn rate boost during the event’s run time. Players can also get themselves a Shiny Zoroark by evolving their catch. This guide explains every possible way of encountering Shiny Zorua and Shiny Zoroark in the game.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Zorua
The Pokemon GO Halloween 2023 event adds the solo Dark-type Pokemon, Shiny Zorua, and its evolved form, Shiny Zoroark. Shiny Zorua is featured as a wild spawn, and one can increase their chances of catching it by encountering several Zorua. Spawn rates and the individual Shiny odds highly influence Shiny encounters. Increased spawn rates can lead to more frequent Shiny encounters. But, despite Shiny Zorua being a wild spawn, the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed.
Players must know that wild Zorua disguises itself as the player's Buddy Pokemon. One doesn’t require their Buddy Pokemon to be out in the wild for Zorua to spawn; it spawns even if the Buddy Pokemon is not roaming with the player. But having the Buddy Pokemon on the map will help spot Zorua even faster.
When another identical monster as the player’s Buddy Pokemon spawns, there is a probability of it being a Zorua. The only way to distinguish the monster is through the "Oh?" Notification that appears upon catching it. The Buddy Pokemon duplicate will then turn into a Zorua. The more Zorua spawns, the faster players catch up to its Shiny spawn rate.
Although there isn’t a guaranteed method to increase the spawn rate, players can improve their odds using different Pokemon GO items: Lure Modules and Incense. Additionally, Pokemon spawn rates can be boosted by the Weather Boost feature. Particular monster's power and spawn rate can increase at locations with specific weather conditions.
Zorua's spawn rate is boosted around areas with foggy weather conditions. During the Halloween 2023 event, Zorua experiences a boosted spawn rate, and players can further increase it by utilizing in-game items and the weather boost feature simultaneously.
Pokemon GO players can further increase Zorua's spawn rate by finding a PokeStop or Gym with foggy weather. One must then attach a Lure Module to it, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy can significantly increase Zorua's spawn rate, especially during events that feature it.
Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Zoroark
Once players catch a Shiny Zorua, the next step is to evolve it into a Shiny Zoroark. The evolution process costs a total of 50 Candy. After successfully evolving it, players will finally obtain a Shiny Zoroark. Players should note that evolving the Standard variant requires the same amount of Pokemon GO Candy. One can get the Candy by catching and transferring multiple Zorua.
Pokemon GO is available for Android and iOS.
