5 best shinies to look out for during Pokemon GO Into the Wild

Pokemon GO's Into the Wild event is in full effect as of writing, and with that, many new wild Pokemon have been spotted in the wild. Evolved creatures like Ivysaur and Magneton can also be found with relative ease. However, many collectors have their sights set on the many Shiny Pokemon that will be available during the event.

Given how long it can take to find many Shiny Pokemon in the mobile game, trainers will not be able to find every possible species that will spawn during the event's duration. Thankfully, there are five particular shinies players may want to prioritize. Here are the five best shinies players can find during Pokemon GO's Into the Wild event.

5 Shiny Pokemon to look out for during Pokemon GO Into the Wild

1) Origin Dialga

Origin Dialga is the Five-Star Raid Boss players can find in Pokemon GO on November 21, 2024. This particular creature is not only a direct upgrade to its standard form, but it can also be found in its shiny variant at a rough 1 in 25 chance. Origin Dialga is one of the strongest creatures in the game at the moment, so having its shiny form is great for all players.

While it can be found at better rates than the average wild Pokemon, players require a Raid Pass for each chance they want at finding a Shiny Dialga. Only one of these items can be found for free per day, so unlucky trainers who truly want this creature for their collection will have to spend a bit of money.

Origin Palkia is another Legendary Raid Boss that players can find during the Into the Wild event. This Raid Boss will be available on the last day of the event, November 22, 2024. Much like Origin Dialga, Origin Palkia is a direct upgrade to its base form, making it a must-have for competitive battlers.

Being a Five-Star Raid Boss, it has shiny odds at around 1 in 25. Unlucky players may still need to purchase Raid Passes if they have trouble encountering Shiny Palkia after their first attempt. This creature is well worth the effort as it is one of the strongest Legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO at the moment.

3) Toxel

Toxel is the newest Pokemon to come to the mobile game. However, this particular monster is a baby Pokemon, meaning it cannot be encountered in the wild under regular circumstances. The only way to get Toxel is to hatch 10 kilometer eggs. These eggs are rare enough as they are, but Toxel will only appear a fraction of the time.

Thankfully, players can purchase the Into the Wild Hatch event ticket for $5 USD. This ticket provides players with many helpful buffs for hatching eggs, like reducing hatch distance and increasing the chance of Toxel coming from 10 kilometer eggs. This will give players the best chance of finding a Shiny Toxel as well.

4) Drilbur

Drilbur will be the Max Battle Boss players can find throughout the event. This will be the first Ground-type Dynamax Pokemon to be available, so it is important for players to get one before the Wild Area event. The critter's shiny form will also be up for grabs for players through these Max Battles, so they can roll up to Toxtricity raids in style.

Drilbur's evolution, Excadrill, is a Ground and Steel-type with an incredibly high attack stat. It is one of the best raiders in Pokemon GO of its elements and will be one of the strongest Dynamax Pokemon for many years to come. This makes its shiny form all the more valuable.

5) Magnemite

Magnemite is one of the many wild Pokemon players can find spawning on the map. Magnemite possesses a rare Steel and Electric typing and a three-stage evolution line. Both of its evolutions, Magneton and Magnezone, have shown potential in Pokemon GO's Great League as well, giving more value to their shiny variants.

Finding Shiny Pokemon in the wild is one of the most difficult tasks to undergo in the mobile game. Players wanting to find a Shiny Magnemite should try hunting in rainy or snowy weather. These weather conditions boost the spawn rate of Electric or Steel-types respectively.
