How to get Blanche-themed Lapras in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?

Trainers have two methods to get their hands on a Blanche-themed Lapras in Pokemon GO. Also known as a Blanche Accessory Lapras, this Pocket Monster can be shiny in the game.

1) Finish the Mystic-themed Timed Research task

There is a Mystic Global Challenge in the Triumph Together event, which eventually leads to an encounter with a Blanche-themed Lapras in Pokemon GO when completed. The challenge demands the completion of 35,000,000 Field Research Tasks.

Once this is achieved, all participants will receive a special Team Mystic–themed Timed Research task that offers a Blanche Accessory Lapras encounter.

Blanche-themed Lapras is a dual Ice- and Water-type entity; making it weak to Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Rock-type attacks by 160%. These are used to create the best counters against it. The creature is resistant to Ice and Water-type moves, so trainers should avoid their use.

2) Trade

If your friend has an extra Blanche-themed Lapras in Pokemon GO, you can ask them whether they would like to trade it with you. You will need Stardust and must be within a 100-meter distance to complete the trade process.
