Pokemon GO: How To Get Shiny Slugma
There are different ways of getting a Shiny Slugma in Pokemon GO, including wild spawn, Egg hatch, and Research task reward. But events like the Scorching Steps that feature Slugma boost the chances of a Shiny Slugma encounter. Sometimes featured events increase the Shiny probability in Eggs, Research tasks, or in the wild, so you must plan accordingly.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Slugma As A Wild Spawn
Events in Pokemon GO can boost Slugma's wild spawn rate, making it easier to encounter more Slugma and increase your chances of finding a Shiny. Use in-game items to maximize the event benefits and improve your odds.
Pokemon GO items like Incense, Lure Modules, and Weather Boost can increase wild Pokemon spawn rates. Lure Modules attach to PokeStops or Gyms, while Incense increases spawns around the player. Weather Boost increases spawns for certain Pokemon types in specific weather. Using all three can significantly boost spawn rates.
Slugma's Weather Boost activates in areas with sunny weather. Find a PokeStop or Gym with this weather, attach a Pokemon GOLure Module, activate an Incense, and walk around. This strategy during Slugma events will further increase the already-boosted spawn rate, improving your chances of finding a Shiny.
Pokemon GO: Get Shiny Slugma Through Eggs
Pokemon GO Shiny Slugma can hatch from 2 KM Eggs. There are no guaranteed Shiny encounters, but hatching more Eggs increases your chances. Events like Scorching Steps also offer bonuses that boost the probability of encountering a Shiny Slugma.
The probability of hatching a Shiny Slugma is slim compared to a Regular variant. To increase your odds, you must hatch many Pokemon GO Eggs and encounter several Regular variants. The more Slugma you hatch, the better your chances of finding a Shiny.
To increase your chances of a Shiny Slugma, stock up on Incubators and Eggs from PokeStops and Gyms. Then, walk the required distance to hatch multiple 2 KM Eggs. Hatching numerous Eggs increases your chances of encountering a Shiny Slugma.
