Can Litwick Be Shiny In Pokemon GO?

If you’ve been gathering Litwick for a while, you may know that they have not been available as a Shiny Pokemon in the game before. However, that does change with this event, as they will receive their Shiny Variant for October’s Community Day. While they do not offer any competitive advantages, finding one of your favorite monsters with a new color scheme makes things much more exciting.

If you’ve never encountered a Shiny Pokemon before, you’ll know that you’ve come across one if you see a flash of stars at the beginning of your encounter with them, as well as an icon next to their name to signal that they are shiny. While Litwick may not be the most exciting shiny, its evolutions take a completely different shape, and could easily land on our favorite shiny Pokemon list.

Featured Attack During Community Day

If you are lucky enough to get your hands on a very powerful Litwick, you’ll want to make sure that you’re pushing them through the evolutionary chain as quickly as possible. One of the reasons for this is because, during the Community Day event, you’ll be able to evolve a Lampent into Chandelure so it can learn an exclusive Featured Attack.

This attack is Poltergeist, which unleashes a whopping 140 Power no matter if you’re battling another trainer, or placing your new favorite Ghost-type in a Gym to defend it. Having a powerful Pokemon, or a monster that can take a few good hits is an excellent way to earn yourself some Pokecoins, so make sure that you’re ready to evolve during this event!

Field Research Tasks & Special Research Story

If you can’t get enough of Litwick, there will also be plenty of opportunities to capture them through the help of an exclusive Special Research Story and Field Research. Getting your hands on as many Litwick as possible to evolve them is going to be a huge factor, especially since Chandelure is one of the best Ghost-types available in the game.

By completing different tasks that are assigned to you, you’ll be able to earn even more Litwick than normal, so make sure that you’ve got your hands on plenty of Pokeballs before you head out. Especially now that there is a Shiny Variant available in the game, making sure that you’re prepared for the event will help you have more fun than ever before!

4-Star Raid Battles With Lampent

If you’re looking to showcase your power with your favorite team, you’ll want to be ready to take down Lampent in these upcoming 4-Star Raids. You may be able to bring them down on your own but making sure that you’ve got the right team to take into battle will help you out in the long run.

You’ll find these Pokemon in your local gyms from 5:00-10:00pm Local Time after the event has finished. If you’re skilled enough to bring one of them down, you’ll find that even more Litwick will appear around these Gyms. This will give you more chances to get your hands on a Shiny if you didn’t capture one during the event!
