How to get Ducklett in Pokemon GO, and can it be shiny?

Niantic is finally releasing Shiny Ducklett in Pokemon GO and Shiny Swanna as a part of the GO Fest 2024: New York event. Global trainers can get their hands on them when the final event goes live on July 13 and runs until July 14. Shiny Ducklett was locked in the mobile game for almost four years, and with players being limited to hunting only regular forms of the Pokemon, the demand for the former gradually rose.

Keeping this in mind, the Pokemon GO Fest 2024 event is bringing back Ducklett’s family line and their Shiny counterparts for players to catch and train.

Trainers should know that Ducklett will only be available to encounter as a spawn. This means you can not get it by battling in raids, hatching eggs, completing Field Research Tasks, and so on. Ducklett in Pokemon GO can only be possessed when caught in its natural habitat.

To find a wild Pokemon, you can visit its habitat, which for a wild Ducklett would be the locations with Rain or Windy weather in-game. In these areas, Lure Modules and Incense items can be activated to attract several wild Pocket Monsters like Ducklett. This is the best strategy to meet up with this Water and Flying-type Pokemon.

Event participants of the GO Fest 2024: New York should look out for Ducklett in the Poolside Cabana. They should then activate the Lure Module and Incense to boost the appearance rate of Ducklett in Pokemon GO. Their effects will also help you encounter Pocket Monsters like Scarf Lapras, Frillish, and Finneon in the same habitat.

Meanwhile, worldwide trainers, in GO Fest Global 2024, can visit Ducklett’s spawning weather and turn on the effects of the said items so that searching for the monster in the Dawn Meadow habitat becomes easy.
