Catch a Shiny Litten For The First Time Today In Pokémon GO

Litten finally gets its Community Day today in Pokémon GO. You can encounter Litten and evolve it up to give Incineroar two special moves.

In the world of Pokémon, sometimes your favorites get a great Shiny. Other times, a species like Zapdos ends up getting its contrast put up just a slight tick to create an infamously bad Shiny form. Well, Pokémon GO fans get the first taste of Shiny Litten with today's Community Day, and this is one for the books. Take your first look at Shiny Litten here.

So, how does one obtain Shiny Little in the game?

Well, today, your chances will be dramatically higher than ever.

Generally, the Shiny rate is one in 500, but today's Litten Community Day will see it boosted to just one in 25. Here are the full details for Litten Community Day in Pokémon GO:

•  Bonus Tier Four Raids featuring Dartrix: Niantic writes:
  • "After the three-hour Community Day event ends, Trainers will be able to take on special four-star Raid Battles. Claiming victory in one of these raids will cause more Litten to appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes! Torracat will be appearing in four-star raids! You can only join these raids using Raid Passes and Premium Battle Passes. Remote Raid Passes cannot be used to join these Raid Battles. Once you successfully complete a four-star Raid Battle against Torracat, additional Litten will appear around the Gym that hosted the raid for 30 minutes. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!"
