How To Get Shiny Cutiefly In Pokemon GO

Shiny Cutiefly and Shiny Ribombee debuted at the start of the Dazzling Dream event on Saturday, January 13, at 10 AM Local Time. The event offers multiple ways to get them, including Research quests, Pokemon GO Eggs, or in the wild. Those who catch a Shiny Cutiefly can eventually get a Shiny Ribombee.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Cutiefly In The Wild

Cutiefly and its Shiny variant come as a wild spawn in Pokemon GO. Although they spawn in the wild, encountering a Shiny Cutiefly depends on whether players can match its Shiny odds or not. To catch up to a monster’s wild Shiny odds, one must encounter multiple Standard variants. The basic strategy is to use the boosted spawn rate during events such as the Dazzling Dream to encounter multiple wild Cutiefly. One can also use various items to increase the already boosted wild spawn rate.

Pokemon GO items like Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost function work wonders in increasing the wild spawn rate. While Lure Modules attach to a PokeStop or Gym and boost the spawn rate around that area, Incense attaches to the trainers and increases the wild spawn rate wherever they traverse. The Weather Boost function is a passive effect that increases the wild spawn rate around areas with specific weather. Using all these elements simultaneously can significantly increase the wild spawn rate, especially during events featuring the monster.

Cutiefly’s spawn rate boosts in rainy and cloudy weather. Locate a PokeStop or Gym within areas with rainy and cloudy weather, attach a Lure Module to it, activate an Incense, and traverse around that specific area. This strategy can stack all their effects and notably increase the wild spawn rate.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Cutiefly Through 7 KM Eggs

Events like the Dazzling Dream offer different ways to encounter monsters, including Pokemon GO Egg hatches. Players can get Cutiefly by hatching 7 KM Eggs, but there is also a possibility of Shiny Cutiefly hatching instead. The Cutiefly hatched from these Eggs have a higher probability of being a Shiny when compared to the wild spawn Shiny odds.

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Cutiefly Through Research Tasks

Events like the Pokemon GO Dazzling Dream offer multiple Research quests with Pokemon encounters. Some of these Research quests feature Cutiefly, and completing them provides a chance to encounter its Shiny variant. There is only a possibility of a Shiny Cutiefly spawning; the Shiny encounter isn’t guaranteed.
