Shiny Shadow Pokémon available in Pokémon GO
Shiny Shadow Pokémon is one of the most sought Pokémon in Pokémon GO. Not only are they Shiny, they are also Shadow. You get both aesthetics in one Pokémon. I know this because they are one of the reasons why I battle Grunts and their leaders. Furthermore, they are exceptionally rare. When you find them, cherish them.
Introduced in March 2023, these Pokémon became available as catch rewards after defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts, their Leaders, and during specific Shadow Raids. The list you will find here contains the Pokémon that can be encountered after defeating either the Grunts or their leaders. It also includes the other Shiny Shadow Pokémon that can be encountered via other means in Pokémon GO.
It is important to know that these are the currently available Shadow Pokémon held by Team GO Rockets. The specific Pokémon available rotate periodically. I’ll update this list as soon as we get new Shadow Pokémon. Likewise, since Shadow Raids rotate mostly every week or month, you can follow up on the upcoming contents on DIGANCY.com to see which of these Shadow Pokémon in Shadow Raids can be shiny.
