How to get Galarian Mr. Mime in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?
People have wanted to get their hands on Galarian Mr. Mime in Pokemon GO since December 19, 2020. The Shiny form of this monster was introduced on December 1, 2022, making it even more sought after. Both versions are rare in the game because they barely get featured in the events. Moreover, the original Mr. Mime is only found in Europe, compelling trainers outside of the continent to depend on the trade feature to obtain it.
It is quite challenging to come across wild Pokemon in Niantic’s mobile title, so trainers prefer to defeat raids featuring Galarian Mr. Mime in Pokemon GO. Let's take a look at all the possible methods to obtain this monster in this article.
All known and possible ways to get Galarian Mr. Mime in Pokemon GO
There are five ways to own this pocket monster, and they are as follows:
- Catch a wild Galarian Mr. Mime
- Beat Raid Battles
- Hatch Pokemon Eggs
- Complete Research Tasks
- Trade
1) Catch a wild Galarian Mr. Mime
Being a dual Ice- and Psychic-type monster, Galarian Mr. Mime's wild spawn rate naturally rises in areas with Snowy or Cloudy weather. The spawn rate improves because of the activation of the Weather Boost effect. However, the critter doesn't normally appear in the wild, and due to this, you have to hunt for Galarian Mr. Mime in Pokemon GO in favorable weather conditions.
Make sure to locate PokeStops in Snowy or Cloudy weather so that you can turn on the effect of the Lure Modules. You can attach these modules to PokeStops to increase spawn rates, while Incense can be activated independently. These items can boost the spawn rate of a wild Galarian Mr. Mime in the game.
