Pokemon GO trainers can participate in the Nidoran♀ Spotlight Hour from Tuesday, March 12, at 6 PM until Tuesday, March 12, at 7 PM Local Time.

While players can encounter numerous Nidoran♀ during the event, there is also a chance of Shiny Nidoran♀ spawning. The increased wild spawn rate of Nidoran♀ may help players catch a Shiny Nidoran♀; encountering many Nidoran♀ might result in matching its Shiny odds.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Nidoran♀
There is no foolproof way to get a Shiny encounter in the Pokemon GO wild. But one can try to match the monster’s Shiny odds by encountering numerous Standard Pokemon. Still, the Shiny encounter isn't guaranteed. There are dedicated items that can increase the wild Pokemon spawn rate, and using them during the Nidoran♀ Spotlight Hour might help to spawn several Nidoran♀.
Pokemon GO Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect can increase the spawn rate of monsters in a specific area. Using them during the Nidoran♀ Spotlight Hour event may help players spawn several Nidoran♀.
Nidoran♀ spawns more around areas within cloudy weather in Pokemon GO. One must spot a PokeStop or Gym with cloudy weather conditions, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy stacks their effects on top of each other and works even better during events featuring Nidoran♀ like the Spotlight Hour. It can help players encounter multiple Nidoran♀ and help one achieve its Shiny odds.
