Shiny Espeon will be much easier to encounter for a limited time in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how to find and capture their own. Currently, Pokemon Go is hosting its Luminous Legends Y event. With this special event, players are able to encounter the legendary Pokemon Yveltal from Pokemon X and Y. The thing that makes the Luminous Legends Y event so special is that it is broken up into two different halves for the month of May. As we approach the second half of the event, there will be an opportunity for players to obtain Shiny versions of all the Eevee evolutions in the game. This guide will show players how they can obtain it.
As part of the Luminous Legends Y event, players will be able to get their own Sylveon for the very first time. Sylveon is the Fairy-type evolution of Eevee and the most recent introduction to its long family line. In Pokemon X and Y, players will able to obtain their own by playing the friendship Pokemon Amie game mode. With a strong enough bond, players could evolve Eevee. To celebrate the release of Sylveon, Pokemon Go will place all the other Eevee evolutions in 3-star raid battles. This guide will show players how they can obtain Shiny Espeon.
How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Espeon in Pokemon Go
Espeon will begin to appear in raid battle starting on Tuesday, May 25th. Players can participate in these raid battles with friends to increase their chances. For lower-level players, it will be much easier to play with other friends. Once the battle is over, the game will display if it's a Shiny Espeon during the capturing phase. It's important to mention that it is completely up to chance for a Shiny to appear. To increase your chances, participate in as many Espeon raids as possible. Here are some of the best Pokemon to bring along as a counter.

- Origin Giratina: Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
- Chandelure: Hex and Shadow Ball
- Weavile: Feint Attack and Foul Play

This works with every other Eevee evolution that will begin to appear in raid battles. Try and collect all of them before the event is over. Players will have until the end of May to find them all since that is when the raids will rotate once more.
