Pokemon GO Beloved Buddies: Exploring the shiny odds of every spotlighted Pocket Monster

Pokemon GO Beloved Buddies shiny odds will help trainers taking part in the event. It goes live at 10 am local time on February 11, 2025, and runs until 8 pm local time on February 15, and features a wide variety of wild spawns and raids. Beloved Buddies marks the debut of Dhelmise — although its shiny form will not be accessible for now. However, Diglett, Dunsparce, and Skrelp will see boosted shiny rates during Pokemon GO Beloved Buddies.

This article covers all the shiny Pocket Monsters you can find during the Pokemon GO Beloved Buddies event as well as the chance of finding their shiny forms.

Note: The shiny rates mentioned in this article are all estimations based on the average shiny rate of Pocket Monsters based on their appearance patterns in the game. Therefore, a shiny rate of 1/512 doesn't mean that you are guaranteed one shiny for every 512 encounters you have with that critter.
