Pokemon Go’s latest Spotlight Hour features Popplio. Can it be shiny?
For March 28, 2023, Popplio will be in the spotlight, and you’ll get double XP for catching Pokémon. And no, Popplio cannot be shiny in Pokémon Go (yet)!
Just like the previous Alolan starters that saw Spotlight Hours in the last few weeks, Popplio isn’t available shiny yet. Its shiny version probably won’t release until we get a Popplio Community Day in coming years. With the Chespin Community Day in January 2023, we’ve only started getting into Community Days for the Kalos region starters, meaning that Alolan starters are probably ways out.
Even so, it’ll be worth seeking out a Popplio with good IVs, as you can hold on to it and evolve it whenever Popplio Community Day does come along.
