Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Lechonk?

The event participants can encounter a Shiny Lechonk in Pokemon GO while exploring the map. Although there is no way to guarantee a wild Shiny Pokemon encounter, you can use a strategy to match Lechonk’s Shiny odds. You require a Lure Module, an Incense, and take advantage of the Weather Boost effect to complete the strategy.

Using the in-game elements simultaneously can stack their individual effects on top of the event’s already-boosted Lechonk’s wild spawn rate. It helps spawn several wild Lechonk in Pokemon GO, which might aid in matching its Shiny odds.

  • Lechonk’s wild spawn rate increases in areas with partly cloudy weather.
  • Locate a PokeStop with such weather and attach a Lure Module to it.
  • After that, activate a Pokemon GO Incense and walk within the Lure Module’s effect.
  • Numerous wild Lechonk will spawn while all the items’ effects are active.

The more Lechonk you encounter, the faster you might match its Shiny odds and get a High IV or Shiny Lechonk in Pokemon GO.
