Pokemon GO features Magnemite and Shiny Magnemite as a wild spawn and Research task encounter. Events like Spotlight Hour and Magnetic Study that feature the monster increase the likeliness of encountering a Shiny variant. Those who catch a Shiny Magnemite can straight get their hands on a Shiny Magneton and Shiny Magnezone.
Pokemon GO Shiny Magnemite and the Regular variant share identical maximum Combat Power (CP) and stats. Magnemite has a maximum CP of 1540 with a stat spread of 165 ATK, 121 DEF, and 93 STA. Evolving the monster can further increase its prowess and make it a valuable addition to your Pokedex. That said, this guide details the best way to get Shiny Magnemite, Shiny Magneton, and Shiny Magnezone.

How To Get Shiny Magnemite In Pokemon GO?
You can encounter a Magnemite and a Shiny Magnemite as a Pokemon GO wild spawn. Events like the Magnetic Study 2024 feature Magnemite as a Research task encounter and similar events also boost the wild spawn rate of Magnemite increasing the chances of a Shiny Magnemite encounter. You must encounter several Regular variants to match Magnemite's Shiny odds.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Magnemite As A Wild Spawn
While featured events increase Magnemite's spawn rate, you can also use different Pokemon GO items to further boost it. In-game items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect can significantly boost wild Pokemon's spawn rate. While Incense and Lure Modules need manual activation, Weather Boost is a passive effect that increases the wild spawn rate in specific weather conditions.
Magnemite's spawn rate notably increases in areas with rainy and snowy weather. Shiny hunters must navigate to a PokeStop in rainy and snowy weather, attach a Lure Module, activate a Pokemon GO Incense, and walk around the area of effect. This strategy stacks their effects on the already boosted wild spawn rate during featured events and spawns numerous Magnemite. The more Magnemite you encounter, the faster you might reach its wild Shiny spawn rate.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Magnemite As A Research Task Encounter
You can also encounter a Shiny Magnemite as a Research task clearance reward. The 2024 Pokemon GO Magnetic Study event features Magnemite as a reward for clearing the event-exclusive Field Research tasks and Timed Research tasks. There is a boosted chance of a Shiny Magnemite spawning instead of a Standard variant after completing the tasks.

How To Get Shiny Magneton And Shiny Magnezone In Pokemon GO?
After catching a Shiny Magnemite in Pokemon GO, you must evolve it into a Shiny Magneton and then a Shiny Magnezone. While evolving a Shiny Magnemite into a Shiny Magneton requires 50 Candy, further evolving a Shiny Magneton into a Shiny Magnezone requires 100 Candy and a Magnetic Lure Module. Place the Magnetic Lure Module on a PokeStop and initiate the evolution process within the area of effect.
You can get a Magnetic Lure Module in Pokemon GO by purchasing it from the in-game shop for 180 PokeCoins (around US $2.00). Players can also get it for free by completing featured Special Research or Timed Research tasks. Fulfill the Candy requirement by catching and transferring numerous Magnemite during featured events.
