Shiny Umbreon will become much easier to encounter in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can find and capture their own. Shiny Pokemon are made pretty available in Pokemon Go since tons of them are tied to events. While not every Pokemon in the game has a Shiny form, each one in recent history has been tied to a special event happening in the game. Currently, the Luminous Legends Y event is taking place and focusing heavily on the legendary Pokemon Yveltal. This Dark and Flying-type Pokemon is known for spreading death and destruction wherever it goes. Although, that's not the only event happening in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players how they can obtain their own Shiny Umbreon.
The Luminous Legends Y event is broken up into 2 different halves. The second half will begin on Tuesday, May 25th, and will introduce Sylveon, the Fairy-type evolution of Eevee. This has been a fan-favorite Pokemon since the release of Pokemon X and Y and players have been eagerly waiting for it to make its way to the game. To celebrate the release of Sylveon, all the other Eevee evolutions will be making their way in 3-star raid battles. This is how players will be able to obtain a Shiny Umbreon in the game.
How To Find (& Catch) Shiny Umbreon in Pokemon Go
Umbreon will be making its way in 3-star raid battles starting on May 25th. Shiny Umbreon is already available in the game so all the player has to do is participate in as many Umbreon raid battles as possible. Upon defeating Umbreon, it has the chance to appear Shiny during the capturing phase. Here are some of the best Pokemon to bring along for an Umbreon raid battle.
- Machamp: Counter and Dynamic Punch
- Hariyama: Counter and Dynamic Punch
- Togekiss: Charm and Dazzling Gleam
- Heracross: Counter and Close Combat
- Breloom: Counter and Dynamic Punch
- Blaziken: Counter and Focus Blast
For lower-level players, teaming up with other players will make this battle much easier. It's important to mention that there is no guarantee that Shiny Umbreon will appear but this will be one of the best ways to obtain one. It's completely luck-based so hopefully, the odds are in your favor. Just continue to participate in as many of these raid battles as possible. This event will only last until the end of May.
