Shadow Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle Can Be Shiny In Pokémon GO

The new special event running this weekend in Pokémon GO has brought some new Shiny-capable Shadow Pokémon to the game. The Ultra Unlock: Battle Weekend event happening within the Pokémon GO 6th Anniversary event has led to a change in the Team GO Rocket Leader rotations. Read on to see how you can encounter Shiny Shadow Charmander, Shiny Shadow Squirtle, and Shiny Shadow Bulbasaur.

Currently, here is the breakdown of which Team GO Rocket Leader uses which Pokémon:

• Sierra: Squirtle
• Cliff: Bulbasaur
• Arlo: Charmander

Battling each of these Leaders will lead to an encounter with these Shadow Pokémon, which now have a chance to be Shiny. This is the very first time that Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur will be available as Shiny Shadow Pokémon, so be sure to get out there and battle Team GO Rocket Leaders.
