Pokemon Go is one of the few AR or Augmented Reality games that is still popular even after years of release. The game has more than 700 species of Pokemon with each Pokemon carrying its unique quirks. With Niantic as the publisher and developer of the game, Pokemon Go is available for both Android and iOS. Pokemon Go works on the geographical location of the player. With avatars roaming around the real world, you can catch Pokemon in the AR world. With a new Bug Out Event, a new Pokemon with the name Joltik is catching the attention of many players. In this article, we will find out if the Joltik can be shiny in Pokemon Go or not.
Pokemon Go keeps adding tons of new Pokemon now and then. This not only keeps the players engaged but also gives them a chance to get their hands on new powers and abilities. One such event that provides the Pokemon Go players with this opportunity is the Bug Out Event. Although this event is not new to the game, it is reoccurring between 10 August and 16 August. In this event, the players will get a chance to raid the latest box known as Mega Scizor. Not only this, but a new Pokemon whose name is Grubbin will also appear with its evolutionary forms. With different types of bugs, there’s also one bug pokemon called Joltik.
Can Joltik be shiny in Pokemon Go?
Joltik is a Bug/Electric-type Pokemon with a spider-like shape. With its electric-type abilities, Joltik resembles a spider structure. But even after being an electric-type Pokemon, Joltik hasn’t been featured as a shiny in the game yet. This means Joltik is not going to be a shiny Pokemon. Although you will get a lot of Joltiks between 10 August and 16 August during the Bug Out Event, there will be no shiny version of this Pokemon. Joltik evolves to Galvantuala which is also not shiny in the game. So, if you were hoping for a shiny version of Joltik, it is not possible at the moment.
In a Bug Out Event, Pokemon that belong to the bug community tend to appear a lot more than usual. There are a lot of advantages to playing the game during this event. One such advantage is finding Pokemon like Joltik in abundance. However, Pokemon players were having high hopes for Joltik being shiny due to one reason. The reason was the Joltik is an electric-type Pokemon. Also, Joltik is Gen V Pokemon and it received a lot of attention during the spotlight hours.
With the upcoming Pokemon Go World Championships Celebration event coming, there are chances that developers may throw some light on Joltik as it is a Gen V Pokemon. Although no strong claims can be made yet, we can still hope for the best. However, there is no need to be disappointed because there are plenty of events ahead.
