To obtain Shiny Chinchou in Pokemon GO, you must partake in the Festival of Lights event. The regular variant will appear more often than the unique ones. So, your chances of getting them massively depend on luck.

Both versions will be available to encounter in wild spawns, but due to their higher odds, it might be challenging to catch them without using strategies. Moreover, the Shiny rate of Shiny Chinchou is 1 out of 492.

The strategy for this critter can also be applied to other Shiny Pokemon. If a Pokemon appears in the wild, all you need to do is use items that boost its rate. Two lure-in-game resources will help you entice your desired critter. While the regular version is comparatively easy to obtain, the Shiny form demands time and luck.

Pokemon GO Lure Module and Incense are the best resources you can use to lure this Electric and Water-type critter. The former can be attached to a Pokestop, while the latter is used on a player. Incense helps you increase the spawn rate, but you must keep walking to see its effect. Lure Module, on the other hand, doesn’t require movements. You can sit back and enjoy the boosted spawn rate by staying in a single place.

The event provides an excellent opportunity to get these Pocket Monsters. The more you use the abovementioned strategies, the simpler it gets.
