Can you catch a shiny Solosis in Pokémon Go? – September 1, 2022

What are the chances of a shiny Solosis in Pokémon Go?

There are several Pokémon you can capture in Pokémon Go, with many of them having the chance of being a shiny version of it if you’re lucky. Unfortunately, the shiny version for nearly every Pokémon in the game has a low probability of appearing, which means you want to try finding as many of them as possible in the wild, for field research tasks, or in raids. What about Solosis? Here’s what you know about if you can catch a shiny version of Solosis in Pokémon Go.

Does Solosis have a shiny form in Pokémon Go?

We can confirm that Solosis does not have a shiny version in Pokémon Go. Solosis was originally released to the mobile game in March 2020, during the Psychic Spectacular 2020 event. It’s been a few years since this Pokémon was released to the game, but Niantic has yet to reveal the shiny version. If you’re trying to hunt down this Pokémon, you will not find a shiny version in the wild or any other method. We’ll need to wait until the shiny version releases during a scheduled event.

Most of the Pokémon in Pokémon Go have their shiny versions released a year or two after their debut in the game. We expected Solosis’s shiny version to release sometime in 2022, but it looks like it will take longer than expected, depending on Niantic’s overall development cycle. We may see it involved in a Psychic-type related.

For now, it’s unconfirmed when Solosis’ shiny version will release. But during any special events or attempting to battle it in one-star raids, it looks like Solosis shiny form will remain unavailable until the Niantic team are ready for it to arrive. Here’s hoping we see it sometime in 2023.
