Pokemon GO debuted Shiny Litten, Shiny Torracat, and Shiny Incineroar during the Litten Community Day in March 2024. The event brings forward multiple ways to get Standard and Shiny Litten. Players who catch a Shiny Litten can also get a Shiny Torracat and a Shiny Incineroar.
Shiny Litten is available to catch from the start of Pokemon GO Litten Community Day on Saturday, March 16, at 2 PM. Litten and Shiny Litten come as wild spawns, Research task rewards, and raid encounters in the game. While getting Shiny Litten as a wild spawn and Research task encounter is pretty straightforward, one has to defeat Torracat in 4-Star raids for a chance of a Shiny Litten encounter. It takes intense grinding to get all three Shiny variants. That said, this guide explores the best ways to get Shiny Litten, Shiny Torracat, and Shiny Incineroar in the game.

How to get Shiny Litten In Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Litten Through Wild Encounters
Pokemon GO events that feature Litten can increase its Standard and Shiny spawn rate in the wild. The boosted wild spawn rate can help players encounter multiple standard variants and quickly catch up to its Shiny odds. One can use in-game items like Incense, Lure Modules, and the Weather Boost effect to increase the already boosted wild spawn rate.
Litten’s wild spawn rate increases notably in areas with sunny weather. Taking it into account, navigate to a PokeStop or Gym in sunny weather conditions, attach a Pokemon GO Lure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around that area. This strategy can significantly increase Litten's spawn rate during featured events, which might help players catch up to its Shiny odds. One must remember that even if the wild spawn rates increase, the strategy doesn’t guarantee a Shiny encounter.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Litten Through Torracat 4-Star Raids
The developers at Niantic offer players Torracat 4-Star raids in Pokemon GO. Those who defeat the raid boss might get a Shiny Litten encounter. Torracat experiences a boost in its CP and power, so it takes immense meta-knowledge and proper counter-selection to win against the monster. One must study the raid boss’s weaknesses and resistance to devise a proper battle roster and team up with other players to ensure victory.
