Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Ducklett
There are multiple ways to encounter Shiny Ducklett in Pokemon GO, either as a wild spawn, as a Research task reward, or by completing a featured Collection Challenge. Events such as the Aquatic Paradise 2024 featuring Ducklett boost the probability of encountering a Shiny variant.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Ducklett As A Wild Spawn
Events featuring Ducklett increase its wild spawn rate, making it a bit easier to encounter a Shiny Ducklett. Shiny monster encounter directly links with the number of Regular variants encounters; the more Ducklett you encounter, the faster you might match its Shiny odds. There are several Pokemon GO items that can notably boost wild Pokemon spawn rate.
Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect have the ability to increase Pokemon spawn rate in the wild. Lure Modules attach to PokeStops or Gyms, and Incense attaches to the player to increase spawns around the area of effect. Weather Boost activates passively and increases wild Pokemon spawn rate in areas with specific weather. You can use these items simultaneously to make the most out of them.
Ducklett spawns more in wild areas with rainy and windy weather. You must look for a PokeStop or Gym with wind and rainy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate a Pokemon GO Incense, and walk near that specific spot. Doing so can boost the already increased wild spawn rate of Ducklett during featured events. The more Ducklett you encounter, the quicker you might match its wild Shiny odds.
