Pokemon GO: How to get Shiny Growlithe
Shiny monsters are what trainers consider prized possessions since they are somewhat tough to catch. ButPokemon GOplayerscan easily get their hands on Shiny Growlithe by taking advantage of the increased Growlithe spawn rate during the event. Encountering many Growlithe can help players catch up to its Shiny spawn rate. Growlithe’s Shiny variant is yellowish, partially different from its standard variant, which comes in Orange.
Pokemon GOitems like Lure Modules, Incense, and the Weather Boost effect can drastically enhance a monster’s spawn rate. As Growlithe has a sunny weather boost, using these items around Pokestop with similar weather conditions can significantly increase its spawn rate during the event hour. This strategy stacks the effect of all the items and increases Pokemon spawns significantly.
It helps to encounter multiple Growlithe and increases the chances ofencountering a Shiny Growlithe, which can later evolve into a Shiny Arcanine. Although the above method improves the possibility of finding one, not all trainers will encounter a shiny. There is no such thing as a guaranteed Shiny encounter during Spotlight Hour events, so players must keep trying until they encounter one.
