Can You Get Shiny Galar Starters in Pokemon GO? (Sobble, Scorbunny, & Grookey)

During the “Pokemon GO Dark Skies event,” there’s an increased likelihood of encountering various Pokemon originating from the Galar region, which was first presented in the games “Pokemon Sword” and “Pokemon Shield.

In the region mentioned, you’ll notice an increase in the appearance of the three distinctive beginning Pokémon: Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbunny. However, there might be a question on many trainers’ minds: Is it possible for these Galar starters to appear as shiny versions within Pokemon GO?

The Dark Skies celebration concludes on August 23 at 10 a.m., local time. Afterward, you can continue to spot Scorbunny, Grookey, and Sobble in the wild, although they may become more elusive.

Can the Galar Starters in Pokemon GO Be Shiny? (Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbunny)

For clarity, let me rephrase that statement: At the moment, there are no glistening forms of Sobble, Grookey, or Scorbunny available in Pokemon GO. Although these Galarian starters have their shiny versions in games like Sword and Shield, they haven’t been introduced to the mobile version of the game yet.

When Will the Shinies Be Added to Pokemon GO?

It seems that as of now, there’s no scheduled release timeline or event for the shimmering variants of the Galar starters to debut. To add to the disappointment, their counterparts from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet (Fuecoco, Sprigatito, and Quaxly) have already been introduced in Pokémon GO as their shiny forms.

It seems logical that we might witness these glittering premieres quite soon, but as unpredictable as GO can be, anything is possible.

What Do the Shiny Versions of Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbunny Look Like?

If you’re still eager to see what the glossy versions of the Galar starters truly appear like, let me provide a swift glimpse for you!

In a change from its usual green shade, Grookey adopts a softer, subdued color palette. Sobble’s fin on top changes to a purplish tone, and its body loses its blue tinge, taking on a similar purplish hue. Lastly, Scorbunny’s distinctive red accents on ears and feet become more orange in this new version.
