Shiny Vaporeon will soon be much easier to obtain in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how to find and capture this Pokemon. Currently, the game is celebrating the release of Xerneas and Yveltal from Pokemon X and Y. With this, tons of Pokemon from the Kalos region have also made their debuts in the game. One of the most heavily anticipated Pokemon to ever reach the game will release soon with Sylveon. This is a fan-favorite of the Kalos region and was the Pokemon that introduced the world to the new Fairy-type Pokemon. Along with Sylveon is the opportunity to capture Shiny forms of all the other Eeveelutions. This guide will show players how they can obtain a Shiny Vaporeon.
Sylveon will be made available in the game starting on May 25th. During this time period, players will be able to evolve an Eevee by earning hearts by setting it as their buddy. To celebrate the release of Sylveon, Pokemon Go is bringing along all of the other Eevee evolutions as part of raid battles. Players will be able to encounter Vapareon as part of 3-star raid battles. These have the chance of being Shiny, making it much easier to find them out in the world. Here is how players can defeat the Vaporeon raids.
How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Vaporeon in Pokemon Go
It's important to mention that there is no guarantee that Shiny Vaporeon will appear. Since it's a Shiny Pokemon, it's completely up to chance. Since this is a 3-star raid, players can complete this with 2-3 other players. Vaporeon is a Water-type Pokemon. Here are some of the best raid counters to bring along for this battle.
- Raikou: Thunder Shock and Wild Charge
- Zapdos: Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt
- Venusaur: Vine Whip and Frenzy Plant
- Alola Golem: Volt Switch and Wild Charge
- Tangrowth: Vine Whip and Solar Beam
- Breloom: Bullet Seed and Grass Knot
Vaporeon and all the other Eevee evolutions will only be a part of raid battles for a limited time so this is the best chance to get a Shiny. Alternatively, players can be lucky and find a Shiny Eevee out in the wild. They can then evolve it to make whatever Shiny Eevee evolution they want. Make sure to take advantage of this event while it lasts. The Luminous Legends Y event will come to a close on May 31st. Good luck Shiny hunting.
