Can Togedemaru be Shiny in Pokémon GO?
At the time of writing,Togedemaru cannot be shiny. Its shiny form could very likely be added during a future event or celebration but it is not available during the Pokémon’s debut event. Togedemaru’s shiny form features only a slight change from the original color palette, turning from gray to brown as its primary hue. When it arrives, it should be easy enough to spot, though it will likely be difficult to come by with shiny Pokémon having very low spawn rates.
