Can Jirachi be shiny in Pokemon GO? (February 2023)

In the Pokemon GO Hoenn event, players worldwide will have the opportunity to encounter numerous new shiny versions of Pokemon from the Hoenn region and receive various bonuses and Special Research tasks. One of these Special Research tasks is Masterwork Research: Wish Granted, which rewards players with the chance to encounter a Shiny Jirachi upon completion.

Pokemon GO Tour: Hoenn comprises two components: a recently held in-person ticketed event in Las Vegas and a global version scheduled to begin later this week to bring the GO Tour to trainers worldwide. The Hoenn Global Tour is scheduled between 10 AM local time on February 25 and 6 PM local time on February 26.

Currently, it is possible to buy a ticket for Masterwork Research, enabling you to participate in special tasks. Upon completing them, you are guaranteed an encounter with Shiny Jirachi. Here's how you can catch a Shiny Jirachi.

It is common knowledge that the Pokemon GO Masterwork Research with Shiny Jirachi consists of six stages. However, what's not known is the tasks and rewards from Step 3 since the Step 1 and Step 2 tasks themselves take a lot of time. This is why it is unknown which tasks and rewards are yet to come in the upcoming Pokemon GO Masterwork research stages. It will become common knowledge once players complete and release data about this very long Special Research.
