Pokemon GO gives a higher chance of encountering Shiny Ferroseed and Shiny Ferrothorn during events featuring them. Such events offer an increased wild Ferroseed spawn rate and reward Ferroseed encounters for completing specific research tasks. There is also a chance of the encounter being a Shiny.
If you catch a Shiny Ferroseed in Pokemon GO, you can directly get a Shiny Ferrothorn by evolving the monster. But encountering a Shiny variant isn’t as straightforward as getting a Regular variant’s encounter. Take advantage of events like Ferroseed Incense Day, which boosts Ferroseed’s wild spawn rate and features it as a Research task reward. You can use different in-game items to fortify the chances of encountering a Shiny Ferroseed, and this guide details it all.

Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Ferroseed
Pokemon GO events like the Ferroseed Incense Day feature Ferroseed as a wild spawn, Research quest reward, and more. This featured monster experiences a boost in its Spawn rate, which increases the likelihood of encountering its Shiny counterpart. Although there is no such thing as a guaranteed Shiny encounter, you can use the boosted spawn rate to match the monster’s Shiny odds. Different in-game items can increase the wild spawn rate notably.
Pokemon GO items like Incense, Lure Module, and the Weather Boost feature can increase wild spawn rates around specific areas. Although you must manually activate the Incense and Lure Module, the Weather Boost effect is passive and increases wild Pokemon spawn rate in areas with particular weather.
The dual Grass/Steel-type Ferroseed experiences increased wild spawn rate in sunny and snowy weather areas. You must locate a Pokemon GO PokeStop or Gym with such weather conditions, attach a Lure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around the spot. Using these items simultaneously stacks their effects and significantly increases the wild Ferroseed spawn rate, especially during featured events. The more Ferroseed spawns, the faster you might catch up to its Shiny odds.
