The entire Hitmon-family can truly be shiny! You possibly can solely acquire Tyrogue from eggs, because it’s technically a “child” Pokémon, whereas the others may be discovered simply hanging out within the wild, although we don’t see them round within the wild too typically.
What’s the shiny price for Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan in Pokémon Go?
As per previous analysis by the now-defunct web site The Silph Highway (through Wayback Machine), the shiny price for Pokémon on an everyday day is roughly one in 500. Neither Hitmonchan nor Hitmonlee is a confirmed Pokémon that will get a “permaboost” (that means that it’s a uncommon spawn and thus will get a boosted shiny price).
What can I do to draw extra shiny Pokémon?
Not a lot, sadly. It seems to be random probability. Shiny Pokémon catch charges are set by developer Niantic, and they’re sometimes solely boosted throughout particular occasions like Neighborhood Days or Safari Zones, or in Legendary Raids. There aren’t any consumable objects that increase shiny Pokémon charges.
The place can I discover a record of accessible shiny Pokémon?
LeekDuck retains an inventory of presently accessible shiny Pokémon. It’s a useful visible information that illustrates what the entire current shiny Pokémon appear to be.
